Mozambique

 

1. Age of Animal

 

To travel to Mozambique, your pet must be at least 4 months or older. They need their own Rabies vaccination, which can be given at 12 weeks.

 

2. Microchip

 

Your pet must be microchipped. The microchip should be implanted either before or at the same time as the Rabies vaccination. Only a microchip implanted by an official, registered veterinarian will be accepted for export purposes.

 

3. Rabies Vaccination

 

Your pet’s Rabies vaccination must be at least 31 days old but no more than one year old. A yearly booster vaccination is required.

 

Please note: Only an official, registered veterinarian can administer these vaccinations for export purposes. Vaccinations given by a veterinary nurse, breeder, or welfare organisation staff will not be accepted.

 

4. Annual Vaccinations

 

Annual vaccinations are recommended and must be older than 30 days but not older than one year upon arrival. If your pet needs boarding or kenneling before or after travel, all reputable kennels will require proof of a valid vaccination.

 

For Dogs: Canine Distemper, Infectious Canine Hepatitis, and Canine Parvovirus,

Canine Parainfluenza, Bordetella Bronchiseptica (Kennel Cough), Leptospirosis.

 

For Cats: Feline Panleukopenia (Infectious Enteritis), Feline Respiratory Disease Complex, and Feline Leukemia. Snuffles vaccinations for cats are also highly recommended.

 

Please note: As with Rabies, these vaccinations must be administered by a registered veterinarian.

 

5. Import Permit

 

An Import Permit is required for Mozambique and is valid for 60 days from the date of issue.

 

6. Health Certificate

 

Your pet must have a Health Certificate issued by a private veterinarian, confirming compliance with the above requirements, and countersigned by the State Vet. This must be done within 10 days of departure. We provide our clients with a completed and accurate Health Certificate, along with clear guidance on what needs to be done.
