Thread: Changes to UK pet travel (for the good)

I think this is good but do query the no blood test needed,is this good for the animal or not,having had another titre failure at work although it may not be many
there would be animals travelling where the owners assume they are safe when in fact they are not.
One GSD failed three times for the rabies vaccine to take & it turned out to have a problem with its immune system although it appears to be a happy normal healthy dog,if that had travelled under the new scheme & had been faced with any threat it could have been in big trouble,so although it does have its good points I think I would still want to know that my animal was as safe as possible & not one of the "few"that wasn't covered.

Thank you Peter, it's very good news

We hear the news a few weeks ago, and I know that a lot off breeders bin happy with this new rule.

We were informed at work a few weeks ago about the change in rules & as in earlier post think its a good idea but still feel that by relaxing the rules so far in one go is still perhaps a step too far.Most of our clients who get their animals pet passported are either travelling to France or through France for their holidays,what country lost their rabies free status in 2010,fair enough still a low risk but it only takes one animal & as I tried to point out in previous post that one animal could bite the one animal that the vaccine hadn't covered,I know I wouldn't want to put any of mine at risk for the sake of making things cheaper.I also know if for any reason I wanted to take any of mine across water in any direction I would still back up with a blood test to make sure the animal was covered,now even getting to the point where I do wonder if GB has to become a country where it is going to be advisable to have rabies as a routine part of vaccination as in other places which is a bit sad really but.....
