When to contact Pets Abroad

• As soon as you you know you will be travelling within the next 12-18 months is the ideal time
• It takes minimum 7 months of preparation
• Perhaps final costs wont be known until closer to the time, but the time sensitive preparation can begin, without too much financial commitment at least 7 and up to 12-18 months in advance

when to start with the shots

• As above its rabies vaccine MORE than 7 months prior to travel
• Blood test for rabies 4-6 weeks after vaccine
• All vet work done by an official vet (most UK practices have one or more)
• THEN we can apply for permits which take 6 weeks to be granted
• We can only book quarantine after we get the permit, book flights and set a vet plan for the remaining visits in the 6 weeks prior to travel

When to crate train

• If needed, at least 4-6 weeks prior to travel

What to bring to australia and any thing else that you would recommend.

• Not much as most gets destroyed by quarantine
• Pets can only really travel with a light blanket in the crate
