Taking dog to Marocco

[doonhamer]

Can anyone advise on the regulations for taking a dog on a trip to Morocco. The dog is chipped and has a Pet Passport and as I live in France there is no issue with UK quaratine.

I think you will need an International Veterinary Certificate, you'd need to check with the Spanish and Moroccan authorities to find out exactly what's required. We saw a lot of French motorhomers with dogs in Morocco so it does appear to be possible.

Hi Doonhammer…….I think you are booked and travelling later with ourselves to Morocco.…..call/email the Desert Detours office for the very latest info.

 

As I type it seems that some points at the Moroccan – Spanish border have or are now changing. And I have just left my vet’s……..

 

Broadly speaking if you have all the documents and pet-passport and it is up to date, no problem. However, last week I was stopped at the border with my own dog, Sidney, and was asked for a certificate……that I did not have. I was however allowed through as they knew both myself and Sid.

 

It seems this certificate is to confirm a very recent medical check by a vet who then signs an official form, that you have a copy of………I can’t work out, neither could the vet, why this form is not completed by a Moroccan vet for your return to into Spain [or perhaps it is]. I will soon find out!.......... Phewwwwww.

 

Anyway……armed with a pile of documents and forms Sidney, my “Jack Russell”, will make a border test-run when I return through the fence in a few weeks.

 

I will also, just in case, find address of a Vet in Tetouan and post it later

 

Of course none of this applies to UK based pets…………
