You want to bring your pet to Mauritius?



You have to know that Mauritius applies a quarantine on any domestic animal imported to Mauritius. Conditions vary depending of the country of origine of the animal; to have full information on the conditions which apply, you need to get in touch with:

"Government Veterinary Services Division, Agricultural Services"

(230) 454-1016/17 Fax: (230) 464-2210

E-mail address: vetser@intnet.mu, moa-dvs@mail.gov.mu

During quarantine, you may visit your pet during authorized timings. You may bring him his preferred food and you will be able to walk him in the appropriate little parks in Reduit.
