There is not an approved laboratory in Ecuador but the blood test can be done in the US. The waiting time before entry is 3 months and not 4 months. The pet must first be micro chipped with the ISO 15 digit microchip, then vaccinated for rabies. You then wait 30 days before having the blood sample drawn for the test and then 3 more months before entering the UK. Your veterinarian must also complete the Annex II veterinary certificate and the tapeworms certificate. Your pet must travel as manifested cargo on one of the few approved airlines.
