INTERNATIONAL PET

RULES & REGULATIONS

Your pet will ALWAYS require their original vet book or card, all original blood testing and microchip certification to travel with them at all times.

Step 1: Microchipping

Ensure that all pets have an ISO microchip. It is important to note, for entry to most countries, that even if all your inoculations are currently up to date, but your pet isn’t microchipped, you will have to get them microchipped and then re-do all inoculations in order for them to be considered valid for travel depending on your new home countries entry protocol. Variation on microchip timings can result in potential travel delays.

Step 2: Rabies Vaccination

These have to reflect in your pets vet book and need to be over 30 days old and less than 12 months. TOP TIP: Vaccinations MUST be administered by a Veterinarian registered with the South African Vet Council, any vaccination administered by a pet rescue organisation, breeder or vet assistant are not acceptable for travel.

Step 3: Valid Other Vaccinations

3-in1 for cats and 5-in-1 for dogs, these also have to be older than 30 days but less than 12 months old to qualify and must be recorded in the vet book.

Step 4: Rabies Neutralising Antibody Titration Test (RNATT)

The Rabies Neutralising Titration Test (RNATT) can only be drawn after 30 days from the last rabies vaccine. DO NOT draw blood before these 30 days as the pets will not receive State Vet Clearance and may not be allowed to enter the country or may be quarantined on entry. (if an RNATT is required for your destination) NB: Your pets entry to The EU may take place a minimum of 90 days after the drawing of blood for the RNATT, no sooner entry may happen, so keep this in mind when planning flights.

Step 5: Additional Recommendations

As an extra precaution we recommend speaking to your vet about getting the kennel cough vaccination to avoid any hiccups along the way and to ensure that your pets are covered at all times, within any country. Safety first!
