Importing Pets into Mauritius - Urgent help required

2019MUR

Please can someone assist us urgently.  We have received communication from our agent in Mauritius  that the department of veterinary services is no longer allowing more than 1 pet to be imported into Mauritius.  We are absolutely devastated as we started this process 6 months ago and have 2 dogs and a cat that we would like to import.  We are leaving for Mauritius on 1 June and my husband is a Mauritian citizen.  I have not seen this information anywhere before and neither has our South African agent.  What can we do?

You can contact the veterinary department of the ministry yourself to know what it's all about.

Thank you I will do so.  This is such devastating news as the process is so long (6 months)  before the pets are eligible for the move

Hi there

We are also moving across in July with 3 pets and using Mr Hurry to clear us through, so this is not good news.  I'll follow up on my side with our local company to see what is going on.  Can we communicate privately further about this?  I'll send you a contact request.

Yes please let's communicate - we are due to leave in a week's time so really stressed right now

We imported our 2 cats from the Netherlands as recently as 3 weeks ago (both of them under my name only). We had no issue and never heard of this new requirement.

You should indeed try to understand what this is all about with the Veterinary services.

We brought our 4 cats from Mauritius, you will need to get organised quickly. A lot of paperwork, certificates etc. We had a very good agent.

Hi, I brought 4 dogs and 3 cats without many problems. You can use an agent or do it by yourself (what I did, but it takes time). I can explain the full process, just remember the needed delays :


  • all pets must be sterilized with a certificate
  • at least 4 months before coming, Rabies vaccination (both cats and dogs)
  • at least 3 months before coming and 1 month after rabies vaccination : rabbies test (both cats and dogs)
  • Dogs only: less than 45 days before coming, bruccela test (and other required tests)

@slybridges I know it’s been a few years, but how did the procedures go? How was the quarantine and how did your cats do traveling? I also have two cats to import. Thank you!

@sidneymarakie May i ask for an estimate of costs please? I have 2 dogs and a cat and would really love to move with them if feasible. If anyone else can provide and estimate it would also be appreciated!
