Bloodtest

Hello Shelley,

About the bloodtest. It takes a lot of time, longer then 2 weeks, you mentioned.

This is the way you have to go. A dog from West Europe has to go to the vet. The vet takes some bloodsamples and then he send it to a special lab. One of them is in Bruxelles and ons in Germany. There the blood will be tested for Rabies. The Rabies vaccination had to be done almost a month before the bloodsamples has been taken. Then the results of the bloodsamples come back (free of Rabies of not) and then the dog has to be staying for 6 month after dating of the results at the address that was mentioned on the papers with the bloodsamples. So that all together will be taken about 6 till 9 month before a dog can come over to the UK.
I hope, you are not disappointed now,

Greetings,

Letty from Holland
