again sorry folks Now the we are on the last stage and hoping to go before March (well wishfull thinking anyway ) My dogs need their boosters updating because its due in Feb. What I was wanting to know is , is there anyone that has done most of the work themselves ? ie after getting the vet to do all relevant injections and organise the health certificate. Can the vet give the ordinary booster without the leptospira because otherwise we will have to wait the six months before they can emmigrate. Sorry peeps my vet has the weekend off so I can only ask him on Monday afternoon. I have the number where I can get the proper carriers. I know I can book them onto the flight. I have some info about the quarintine over there. Its just all the paperwork required here. Im starting to panic now

Can someone give me the step by step way to go about it and let me know approximately how long the whole process takes.

Thanks in advance

Dont' have a step by step .... yet! But these links might help you, you're vet has to be DEFRA approved btw.

The last link is useful ... just in case you do come back to the UK, if you do what is suggested and you have to come back for any reason with your pets, then they won't have to go into the 6 month quarantine period required for animals coming into the UK.

Yes the boosters can be given without Lepto. Any vet can do this but it has to be an LVI vet who does blood test and don't forget they have to be microchipped.

Have you had a quote from Golden Arrow (01588 680240) they are very reasonable and sort out all the paperwork for you. They will give you a breakdown of costs and send you information that if you still choose to do it yourself will come in handy.

Good luck

Thanks Sara and Sel. The vet is approved by defra. I will give Golden Arrow a call for info as well.
