Rabies Vaccination

A valid rabies vaccination certificate is a critical requirement for international travel with a dog. Rabies is a deadly disease, and many countries have strict regulations to prevent its spread. Your dog must be vaccinated for rabies at least 21 days before traveling, and the vaccination must be up to date throughout your trip. Some countries also require a rabies titer test, which confirms the effectiveness of the vaccine. This test typically needs to be done months in advance, so planning ahead is crucial. Without a valid rabies certificate, your dog may face quarantine or be denied entry into the destination country. Ensure you carry both a physical and digital copy of the certificate, and check the specific rabies requirements for the country you’re visiting.
