The titre test measures rabies antibodies in the blood. Without it a pet from Ukraine cannot enter the EU or the UK. We check the microchip and vaccination, take the blood sample on the right date, send it to a lab on the official EU list, collect the report and work out when you can travel. If you need, we also take care of the F-1 and the EU certificate.
Tests, document checks and advice: all in one place, in your language.
We take the blood sample ourselves and send it to an accredited laboratory. We collect the result too.
We check the microchip number and every vaccination and test date across all documents twice, so there are no questions at the border.
Send photos of your documents via WhatsApp or Telegram and we'll tell you what's missing for your destination.
A detailed consultation on your route and timing is paid; we tell you the price upfront.
Step-by-step guide: Leaving Ukraine with a Dog or Cat: What Foreigners Need to Know
For pets from Ukraine the titre test is mandatory: without a report showing at least 0.5 IU/ml there is no EU certificate.
We check that 30 days have passed since the vaccination and take blood on the earliest valid date.
We check the report: the right lab, the matching microchip number, no gap in vaccinations. We tell you plainly whether it still counts.
We calculate your real travel date: EU entry is possible no earlier than 3 months after the blood sample. If dates do not fit, we suggest options.
Requirements depend on the destination country, the type of animal and the travel date. Please check transport conditions with your airline or transport company.
Send a photo of the pet passport and tell us where and when you are going.
The chip must come before the rabies vaccine, and at least 30 days must pass between the vaccine and the blood sample.
Done at our clinic, labelled with the microchip number, with the lab paperwork completed.
Only to a lab on the official EU list, otherwise the result is not accepted at the border.
We check the result, the microchip number and the sampling date. The result must be at least 0.5 IU/ml.
The 3 months count from the blood sample date. We remind you about boosters and, if you want, arrange the F-1 and the EU certificate.
This list is indicative. The final set depends on the destination country, the type of animal and the travel date.
That’s enough for us to give you a price and draw up a plan straight away. If something’s missing, don’t worry: we’ll find out the rest ourselves.
Blood is taken no earlier than 30 days after the rabies vaccine, and EU entry is possible no earlier than 3 months after the sample. From scratch, allow at least 4 months. How long the result takes depends on the lab, so ask us before the sample is taken.
| Rabies vaccine | After the chip; the countdown starts here |
|---|---|
| Blood sample | At least 30 days after the vaccine |
| Waiting period | At least 3 months from sample to EU entry |
| Validity | No retest if boosters are given without a gap |
Timelines depend on your pet’s age and which documents you already have.
Leave your name and phone number: we’ll get in touch, check your travel date and what you already have, and give you the price and timing.
