Pet Questions?

which vaccinations?  she had everything needed in the UK for her passport and travel docs

thanks

Well, in order to get the certificate, she has to have had all the right shots, which I conclude she has had. My dog had to have her shots here.

It is a shame that you don't have a branch in Dalian. Dalian is a great city, but the English speaking vet market is highly limited here! I literally just bought a dog from the pet market in Zhongshan Park. I am guessing that he is a labradoodle. Yesterday I realized that he has roundworm and so I scrambled around online to find an animal hospital. Majority of listings here are in Chinese and even the ones that are in English only half of the time give a pinpoint location, the others just give you a street name and the district (highly annoying because then you have to hunt for it). Hopefully this hospital that I am going to go to today (no clue what its hours are...not one of them list their hours here) will be able to understand what I need for the deworming. I didn't even know about this "red book" requirement. I am going to try and see if I can get them to get all of the vaccines and give me a red book. I don't know my puppies exact age, but if I had to guess, I would say 8-10 weeks old.

Drontal Plus is effective against roundworm - roundworms are a whole group of intestinal parasites (ascarids), and yes they, along with tapeworm (cestodes) and others are a common problem in China and elsewhere. A dose of drontal plus (one tablet per 10kg) every 3 months in adult dogs (monthly up to 6 months of age), along with annual faecal screening would be my recommendation to keep them at bay.

Is there a service here for transporting pets from one province to another? I know you can't take them on the train. I have heard before of people using some kind of special service. Do you know of how one goes about doing this?

Now I have Snook Doggy Dog (Small Jack Russell bitch) here with me can I ask a couple of questions please.

1. Is there anything I should be aware of re my dogs health here in China (Nanjing) I am aware of the heat and she does need to acclimatise to that (she loves running after her ball), so thank goodness for the air con in my apartment. I've found food in Sugou etc but is there anything else I should be aware of?

2. Just in case do you have an address/contact details of Vets in the Nanjing area?

Thank you

Rob
