  ONSSA's older Arabic-language model for the same 'Autres' row (October 2021, https://www.onssa.gov.ma/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Importation-chiens-chats-tiers-.pdf) says the blood sample must have been taken more than 3 months and less than 12 months before export; the July 2025 model (at least 30 days after the previous vaccination, no upper limit) is newer and is followed here.
• Rabies titre test: Not required: animals coming for more than 12 months use the alternative attestation ('Or') with no titre test. Applies to dogs and cats from countries without their own ONSSA certificate (ONSSA model I.CT.CN.JUIL.2025, 'Autres').

  ONSSA's older Arabic-language model for the same 'Autres' row (October 2021, https://www.onssa.gov.ma/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Importation-chiens-chats-tiers-.pdf) requires identification by electronic chip (microchip) before rabies vaccination; the July 2025 model accepts any permanent mark (tattoo or microchip) and, being newer, is followed here. A microchip meets both.
• Other conditions: The general certificate's first health attestation (point 1) requires that the animals have been kept in a rabies-free country or zone since birth or for at least the 6 months before loading. Re-read in full on 2 October 2026: the attestations are cumulative and the only 'Ou/Or' alternative is in point 5 (stay over 12 months, or temporary stay with titre test). No alternative to point 1 is offered for animals from rabies-endemic countries, so as published such animals cannot be certified on this model. The UK (August 2025), EU (July 2023) and Netherlands (June 2026) models carry the same attestation. Applies to dogs and cats from countries without their own ONSSA certificate (ONSSA model I.CT.CN.JUIL.2025, 'Autres').

• Export health certificate: Where the destination requires official certification, the clinical vet completes attestation Mod. 1452/DGAV to the destination's conditions, certification is requested through DGAV's Certific@+ system, and the owner then collects the health certificate from the DGAV service indicated. DGAV notes that some destinations need only official endorsement of the pet's own documents and some need no official intervention at all, so check the destination. Applies to dogs and cats leaving Portugal for non-EU countries.
