What is the Rabies Neutralizing Antibody Titer Test (RNATT)?

We advise all pet owners, especially the first timers to ensure that their pet’s RNATT result is from an accredited laboratory and to have it done prior to travel. This test is valid for up to 12 months of it being done if there is no lapse in the rabies vaccinations. The RNATT test is used to notice rabies virus offsetting antibodies i.e., level of rabies serum in the bloodstream after vaccination. Should your pet’s score be lower than 0.5IU/ml which is the desired result, then he/she isn’t eligible to enter the U.A.E. unless it hasn’t been cleared. It is required for travel unless your pet is coming from one of the exempted countries listed below, which are considered by the U.A.E. Ministry of Climate Change & Environment (MOCCAE) as "low risk" countries:

Albania, Australia, Austria, Andorra, Barbados, Bahrain, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Falkland Islands, Fiji, Finland, French Polynesia, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Maldives, Malta, Marshall Islands, Mauritius, Micronesia, Montenegro, Netherlands, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Palau, Portugal, Qatar, San Marino, Seychelles, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Suriname, Sweden, Switzerland, the Bahamas, United Kingdom, Vanuatu.
