Microchip Before Rabies: One of the Most Important Pet Travel Rules

The order of microchipping and rabies vaccination matters for pet travel.

Microchip before or at the same time

Government guidance says the pet must be microchipped before, or at the same time as, the rabies vaccination used for travel. If the pet was vaccinated first and microchipped later, the vaccination may need to be repeated.

Why we ask for the records in advance

The vaccination booklet or clinical record needs to show enough information to establish the microchip and rabies sequence. Reviewing those records before the appointment reduces the chance of discovering a problem on the travel day.
