Pet travel route
Dog or cat from Egypt to Peru: official requirements
Possible. There is no official waiting period, but you still need: rabies vaccination (pets 3 months or older), valid core vaccinations on the certificate and internal and external parasite treatment before travel and 2 more.
Rules checked up to 12 October 2026From 3 official pages
In short
- On this route: parasite treatment before travel.
- No rabies blood test, import permit or quarantine on this route for a pet that meets the rules.
Limited official guidance. The authority for entering Peru publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. SENASA states these requirements in a press note (29 November 2024) and an older page (2020), not in a regulation we could read. They give no deadline for the certificate, no blood test, no quarantine rule and no list of accepted origin countries, and the fees quoted in them are old. Ask SENASA (viajacontumascota@senasa.gob.pe) what applies to your route. Customs (SUNAT) has its own rules for the pet's arrival.

What your pet needs
In the order you do them. Each step says whether Egypt (leaving) or Peru (entering) asks for it.
We haven’t verified the leaving side for Egypt yet: its official veterinary authority usually has to issue or endorse the health certificate.
Get ready
VaccinationEntering Peru
Rabies vaccination (pets 3 months or older)
The rabies vaccine is compulsory for dogs and cats from 3 months of age, and the vaccination must be valid on the health certificate.
Details and the official words
“La vacuna de Rabia es obligatoria para ambas mascotas a partir de los 3 meses de edad”
VaccinationEntering Peru
Valid core vaccinations on the certificate
The export certificate must list current vaccines: for dogs canine parvovirus, distemper, canine hepatitis, leptospirosis and rabies; for cats feline panleukopenia and rabies.
Details and the official words
“(en perros: Parvovirus canino, Distemper canino, Hepatitis canina, Leptospirosis y Rabia; y en gatos: Panleucopenia felina y Rabia).”
In the days before you travel
TreatmentEntering Peru
Internal and external parasite treatment before travel
Your pet is treated against internal and external parasites shortly before travel and the certificate says so. We plan for within 15 days (SENASA's 2024 note says 30 days, its 2020 page 15).
The official wording is ambiguous. Confirm this point with the authority.
Details and the official words
SENASA's two pages give different windows (30 and 15 days): the stricter is shown. Ask SENASA.
“además de la desparasitación interna y externa realizada dentro de los 30 días previos al viaje.”
“Desparasitación (interna y externa) realizada dentro de los 15 días previos del viaje.”
PaperworkEntering Peru
Original export health certificate from the official authority of the country you come from
Bring the original export health certificate issued by the official authority of the country of origin. It must give the pet's current vaccines, the parasite treatment and its state of health. SENASA's notes give no deadline for how recent it must be: ask SENASA.
Details and the official words
“Certificado sanitario de exportación original emitido por la Autoridad Oficial del país de procedencia que consigne la siguiente información”
Travel day and arrival
On arrivalEntering Peru
Present the documents to SENASA on arrival and pass the clinical inspection
The owner or an agent takes an application with their details and the pet's, and the certificate, to the SENASA office at Jorge Chávez airport (or another international airport or land border post). A SENASA vet then examines the pet for signs of infectious or parasitic disease and decides whether it can continue with the entry procedure.
Details and the official words
“El propietario o apoderado de la mascota debe presentar en la oficina de SENASA, ubicada en el aeropuerto Jorge Chávez y otros terminales aéreos internacionales del interior del país, así como en puestos de control fronterizos (vía terrestre), los siguientes documentos:”
“Posteriormente, se realiza la inspección clínica a la mascota para detectar la presencia de algún signo de enfermedad infectocontagiosa o parasitaria.”
Good to know
- We have not verified the export process for EG yet. Your country's official veterinary authority usually has to issue or endorse the health certificate.
- SENASA's 2024 note asks for the parasite treatment within 30 days before travel; its 2020 page says within 15 days. We plan for 15 days, which satisfies both: confirm with SENASA.

Round trip
Coming back to Egypt
Nothing for the trip back has to happen before your pet leaves Egypt.
The trip back asks for 5 steps: ISO microchip, before the rabies vaccination, rabies vaccination at least 21 days before travel, official veterinary health certificate and health and vaccination certificates from a registered private vet and more.
