Ladies, What the Canadian regulation is saying is that the rabies shot has to have been given at least 30 days prior to entry into Canada so that they can be sure it's effective. Kay, your dog's shot given earlier this year is just what they want to see. No need to give another shot. Sue Mazzeo who wishes she could be going to the Canadian National (Love showing in Canada) From: "Paula M. Cooke" <pcooke212@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 14 Aug 2011 05:20:03 GMT Subject: Re: Question on rabies shot going to and from Canada fro Giving an extra rabies vaccination is the main reason that I didn't take Harley to Crufts this past year, when he was invited. I would have loved to have traveled to England and shown him off there, but, there was no way around the over-vaccination required. I just had an ISO microchip implanted in Harley, so that I can proceed with his CKC registration, but, I will investigate the vaccination protocol before traveling there over the next year or so. No dog show is worth over-vaccination of my dog. I think you feel the same way. Please keep us, on the List, informed about what you find out. Thanks.

Government regulations required this certificate MUST be dated at least 30 days prior to re-entry into the US". So my question is if you have given your dog a 3 year rabies shot earlier this year, you have to give them another shot 30 days before you come back to the US from the Canadian shows? I would hate to have to give my dogs 2 rabies shots in the same year.... Input please? Kay Springer www.showboatgsd.com Home of Multi BISS & Multi Group Winning Ch.
