Tips for Traveling with Pets to Peru

What requirements do I need to bring my pet to Peru?

If you are considering traveling to Peru with your dog, cat, or other pet, you should know some sanitary requirements for entry.

A health certificate is the only requirement for bringing your pet to Peru, whether a cat or a dog. The certificate must be issued in the country of origin, and the current vaccinations must be shown.

Dogs must be vaccinated against parvovirus, distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, rabies, coronavirus, and influenza. In cats, panleukopenia, rabies, rhinotracheitis, and calicivirus.

It should be noted that, in both cases, the rabies vaccine is mandatory only from 3 months onwards. Also, the certificate must prove your pet’s internal and external deworming within 30 days before your trip.

Also, your health certificate must indicate the state of health prescribed by a veterinarian.

Finally, when you arrive in Peru with your pet, you must go to the National Agrarian Health Service (Senasa) office next to the Jorge Chávez International Airport, where you must make the S / .99.00. There, they will check your pet and your health certificate.
