Export certification
Here at MVH we have two veterinarians who are AQIS-accredited
– Dr John Ley and Dr Stephen Kalff. AQIS is the
Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service. You will
need to see an AQIS-accredited vet if you are planning
to take your pets with you when you travel anywhere
outside Australia. AQIS-accredited veterinarians can
provide you with all the information you need regarding
vaccination and worming requirements. They can give
your pet special vaccines such as rabies vaccines if
required. AQIS-accredited vets are the only vets who
can provide you with all the certification and paperwork
that you will need to get your pet into the country
of destination and back to Australia again.
Some of the animal requirements for international
travel are quite complex and it is important to start
the process rolling months rather than weeks in advance
of your travel dates. Rabies vaccinations, for example,
require blood tests to be taken some time after the
vaccine is given to prove that your pet has adequate
immunity for rabies prevention. Occasionally repeat
vaccines and blood tests are required and so the process
can take some time. If you are contemplating taking
your pets overseas, make sure you contact one of our
AQIS-accredited vets as soon as possible to discuss
the relevant requirements.
