What is Rabies Titer Test?
A rabies antibody titer is essentially an estimation of an immune response against rabies virus (either through exposure or vaccination). The RFFIT is one method which provides a laboratory measurement of the ability of an individual human or animal serum sample to neutralize rabies virus. The test must be done by licensed veterinarian and sent to an approve laboratory.
If you are traveling with your pet from where rabies is prevalent to a country that is free from rabies, RNAT and FAVN test establishes that your pet is sufficiently immune against rabies.
This test is necessary for international pet travel to protect the local animals from rabies.
Some countries have reduced or no quarantine time for pets travel with a rabies titer test.
