Rabies Titer (RNATT/FAVN) Testing for International Pet Travel
Many countries require proof a pet's rabies vaccination is working before allowing entry - this is the rabies antibody titer test, also called RNATT or FAVN. Timing mistakes are one of the most common causes of pet travel delays. Pawspective handles the entire process from vet visit to lab results to final documentation.
Which Destinations Require This Test?
Pets traveling to the EU, UK, USA (dogs), Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Japan, or other rabies-free countries require a rabies antibody titer test before entry.
Avoid Entry Refusal
Sample will be processed with WOAH (OIE)-authorized laboratories globally to meet strict import rules for the EU, UK, Japan, Australia, and Singapore, and works exclusively with destination-approved labs in Europe, UK, USA, and Thailand so certificates are valid for customs entry.
Waiting Periods, Managed for You
EU countries require a 90-day waiting period after a successful test, Japan requires 180 days, and other destinations vary. Pawspective tracks these timelines closely to avoid delays.
Why It Matters
Explain that a failed or invalid titer result (below 0.5 IU/mL) means the pet cannot travel until retesting and waiting out the required period again, so getting it right the first time saves time, money, and stress.
