dO YOU GUYS KNOW HOW OLD A PUPPY HAS TO BE before it can be vaccinated against rabies? I am trying desperately to import a puppy to Australia.

A PET Passport is required. This has to be obtained from your vet prior to travel. It will take about 7 months to obtain and become valid.
Step 1 - Mircochip dog
Step 2 - Vacinate dog against rabies
Step 3 - Blood test alanysis
Step 4 - If all is well, issue Passport
Step 5 - Passport becomes valid 6 months after date of vacination

Important: Ensure booster is obtained prior to Passport expiring else you will have to start the procedure from new.

On returning to the UK,
Step 1 - Have dog treated for Ticks and Worms. Any vet can do this in any EU country.
Treatment must comply with DEFRA stipulations.
Ensure the vet records the microchip no. and enters the details into the Passport
It is important that the EXACT time and date are recorded when the treatment
was administered.
Ensure you obtain a stamped certificate from the vet before leaving
Step 2 - Travel to the UK MUST be made within a 24 - 48 hour window after the
treatment was administered in Step 1.

If you fail to meet these requirements the dog will be held at port by customs and
quaranteed for 6 months. This is expensive

For precise information visit the DEFRA website

Good luck

Interesting.

My wife just had a dog chipped, issued a passport... and then travelled the following day.

It's much easier when you live in Poland and travel to neighbouring countries... as the dog already had documents with a record of Rabies jabs, etc.

Some of the UK's rules are beyond stupidity.
