Companion Animals (unspecified) Regulations

Select the animal regulations you want to view:

Vaccinations

Description:

Rabies vaccination is required. APHIS guidance indicates a waiting period after a primary rabies vaccination. Specific timing and titer requirements are not detailed by Senegal’s veterinary authority in the materials summarized; confirm with the Direction des Services Vétérinaires (DSV).

If this is the primary rabies vaccination, administer it at least 21 days before travel (per USDA APHIS guidance).
Travel with the original rabies vaccination certificate.

Certifications

Description:

An international veterinary health certificate is required. For pets originating in the United States, the USDA APHIS "Interstate and International Certificate of Health Examination for Small Animals" (APHIS Form 7001) may be used. APHIS indicates endorsement may not be required if the form is signed by a USDA-accredited veterinarian and the National Accreditation Number (NAN) is recorded. Confirm acceptability and any endorsement needs with DSV.

Obtain an international veterinary certificate (e.g., APHIS Form 7001 for U.S.-origin pets).
If APHIS Form 7001 is signed by a USDA-accredited veterinarian with their NAN on the form, APHIS endorsement may not be required (per USDA APHIS guidance).
Carry the original, signed health certificate with the pet.

Microchip

Not specified. Confirm with DSV whether an ISO-compliant microchip or other permanent identification is required at entry.

No origin-specific requirements for this pet.

Documents To Carry
