If your dogs like to take a walk frequently or you live in an area with lots of dogs, we would recommend your dogs to take a blood test for Tick Fever to make sure your pooches don’t have any antibodies for Ehrlichia. It is normally required that you find out early on in the export process. This is because, if the testing result of the final export blood tests is positive at 45 days before departure to Australia (that’s the time-line that the Australian Government request for the official certified test), they will not be able to enter Australia, and their departure will be delayed.
