How do I get an RNATT blood test and how long does it take?
Dr Gerry Pahl draws the sample during a home visit. Samples are couriered to internationally approved laboratories — APHA in the UK or accredited university laboratories in the US — with results typically returned in 3 to 6 weeks. Build that turnaround into your relocation timeline.
What if I get a failed RNATT result?
In cases where the RNATT result is unsatisfactory or failed, we guide you through booster vaccinations and retesting efficiently.
Do I need an RNATT test before travelling from Hong Kong?
Yes. Pets travelling from Hong Kong to countries like Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Kingdom require a successful RNATT result to confirm rabies immunity before import approval.
