She has a passport, her last rabies jab was in January 2008, from there 7 mths wait - ok to travel from August 2008.

But its May 2009 now, would she need it updating again & infact waiting 7 mths or can she have the flea & tick treatment, rabies jab 24/48hrs before travelling?

She is in France & needs to travel to the Uk.

If she has a passport, it will say on it when the rabies booster is due (where the last vaccine is entered). Most rabies vaccines have to be given every three years to dogs, so it will probably be Jan 2011. If it doesn't say, there is something wrong with the passport!
As long as it is all in order, she should only need the tick and tapeworm treatments 24-48h before entering the UK.
Hope that helps but DEFRAs website may be able to answer any other questions.

Presumably she had the blood test done after her first rabies vaccine to confirm her immunity. Rabies vaccines are usually done every 2-3 years depending upon the vaccine used. You must not go even a day overdue on that or you have to start again.
If she didn't have the blood test done then you need to speak with your vet.

Blood test was done. All in France though where everything lasts just a year so quarantine it is
