So where can i get my dog chipped ? And around how much will it be ? Im planning on taking him with me to europe for a month. North coast area vets please. And is it true i need to buy a chip reader too ? Thanks in advance.
to take your dog to Europe it isn't easy!
to chip is easy, order online dog chip and let the Vet apply it. link see below
if your dog is vaccinated your Vet needs to take bloood, send it to the lab to centrifuge it
and send the blood serum with the filled out form (where the chip number etc is mentioned)
usually that costs about 600 pesos
in special recognized Laboratories they will determine the rabies titer of your dogs blood
and send you a signed and stamped certification if the titer is obove 0.5
this process costs about 45 Euros plus shipping costs which depends....i think it was 80 Dollars
then you might travel to europe with this certification, your chipped dog and the vaccination
papers.
Best the would be to get in Europe at any Vet's office an European Dog Travel Passport for your
dog where they write down the vaccinations, the titer results, your address and the chip number.
With this blue travel document for dogs you can travel in the future without problems as long you
keep the vaccinations updated.
