AQIS ACCREDITED VETS

	AQIS ACCREDITED VETERINARIAN Dr Jay Dulichan, our Senior Veterinarian, is our AQIS accredited vet. The Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service reccomends that you to see an AQIS-accredited vet if you are planning to take your pets with you when you travel anywhere outside Australia. Dr Jay can can help you gain all the relevant information you need regarding vaccination and worming requirements for travel. He is also qualified to administer any special vaccines or testing 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. It is important to note that there can be quite a few requirements for international travel and you will need to start planning for you travel months in advance. For example, the Rabies vaccinations 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 planning to take your pets overseas, make sure you contact our AQIS-accredited vet as soon as possible to discuss the relevant requirements.
