   The pet must be chipped first, then given the anti rabies jab. One month   
   (28days)later a blood test to check it has taken. If Ok the the pet can   
   RETURN to uk 6 months after the date of the jab.( It can leave any time   
   before the 6th month!!)The current advice is that the booster jabs should be   
   given every 12 months. There is a general expectation that all other routine   
   treatment, innoculations etc have been carried out in the right timescales   
   and recorded in the pet passport. Between 24 and 48 hours before LANDING   
   back in UK, the pet must be treated for ticks and worms and the treatment   
   recorded in the passport.   
    Did this for several years with my two dogs and apart from the first year   
   when it was starting had no probs(and that was only because the ferry   
   company were not familiar enough with the process!!!) As long as all your   
   papers are in order, you should have no difficulties. Incidentally it is a   
   good idea to carry the blood test results with you in case there is a   
   problem and you need to see a vet before crossing back. Amazed your vet does   
   not have the information as he/she will have tp provide the initial   
   documentation and passport!   
   good luck.
