QuestionI want to move my dog (cross breed - border collie), about 11.5 kg (medium size), from cape town to amsterdam. We just have receive his rabbies certificate and he's clear. Now we've been told that he has to wait 3 months before boarding the plane. Is that right? Could we fly him now and put him in quarantine in Amsterdam instead?
Kind regards
Harlaine
AnswerHi Harlaine,
Thank you for your email. I think you are a bit misinformed right now. You did the rabies shot but did you do a FAVN blood test? The three month wait is done after the blood test for pets from certain countries entering the EU.
You will have to wait in Cape Town --- there is really no way around that. But please make sure you also had the blood test done otherwise you will wait for three months and then find out you were supposed to have done a blood test and have to start all over again.
Kind regards,
