Entering "Argentina": what you need
No titer test, microchip, or advance SENASA application is required. An International Veterinary Certificate (CVI) or a legalized pet passport in Spanish (or English), issued by the origin country's veterinary authority, is enough.
Vaccinations
The rabies vaccination just needs to still be valid per the manufacturer's schedule. The "no earlier than 21 days before entry" rule applies only to animals vaccinated for the first time — departure from the origin country isn't allowed before that.
Rabies titer test
Not required for entry into Argentina.
Documents
An International Veterinary Certificate (CVI) in Spanish, or a legalized pet passport in Spanish/English, issued by the origin country's official veterinary authority; it must record the clinical exam (no more than 10 days before the CVI is issued) and deworming (no more than 15 days before). The CVI/passport is valid 60 days from issue, as long as the rabies vaccination is still current. No advance SENASA import application is needed — dogs and cats are explicitly excluded from the general live-animal import authorization process.
Entry notes
No quarantine with a complete document set. Inspection of an accompanied pet — travelling in the cabin or hold of the owner's own flight — is free at the airport; the SENASA fee applies to importing an animal as cargo, under a separate commercial/unaccompanied procedure.

Never give your pet a sedative or sleep medication before a flight without a veterinarian's prescription — pressure changes at altitude can make it fatal.
