Pet travel route

Dog or cat from Morocco 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.

In short

Limited official guidance. The authority for leaving Morocco publishes little for this route. Everything it does say is here, with its wording. Morocco's food safety office (ONSSA) publishes the health certificate model agreed with each destination, as scanned documents, and its fee list, but no guide for pet owners: it doesn't say how far ahead to apply, what to bring or how long it takes. It asks you to contact the veterinary service where you live. Do that well before you travel, and follow your destination's rules for the vaccinations and tests.

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.

At a glance

The rules on this route are the same for dogs and cats.

How early to start

No official wait

whether or not your pet is already microchipped and vaccinated

No official wait still means appointments: rabies vaccination (pets 3 months or older), valid core vaccinations on the certificate and internal and external parasite treatment before travel and 2 more. Book them early; lab and paperwork times are not counted.

On this route

  • Parasite treatment before travel

Part of this route is still under review, so we don’t say what it doesn’t need.

Morocco → Peru

What your pet needs

In the order you do them. Each step says whether Morocco (leaving) or Peru (entering) asks for it.

Taking a dog or cat out of Morocco (ONSSA): we summarised this from a short or older official page and it is still under review, so it may be incomplete.

  1. Get ready

    1. 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”

    2. 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).”

  2. In the days before you travel

    1. 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.”

    2. PaperworkMorocco and 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

      ONSSA export health certificate (150 dirhams): An ONSSA official vet issues your pet's health certificate on the model agreed with your destination (ONSSA lists them by destination country). Ask the veterinary service where you live how and when to apply. The fee for a veterinary health certificate for exporting live animals is 150 dirhams per certificate.

      “Certificado sanitario de exportación original emitido por la Autoridad Oficial del país de procedencia que consigne la siguiente información”

      “Contrôle à l’exportation des animaux de compagnie (Chiens, Chats et Furets)”

      “Certificat sanitaire vétérinaire à l’exportation des animaux vivants et des produits de multiplication animale”

      “(à l'exception des chevaux)”

      “Je soussigné, vétérinaire officiel certifie que les animaux désignés ci-dessus et examinés ce jour”

      “Ont été examinés au cours des 48 dernières heures, ont été trouvés en bon état de santé et n’ont présenté aucun signe clinique de maladies contagieuses propres à l’espèce”

      “Ont été correctement vaccinés contre la rage par un vaccin inactivé (ci-joint l’attestation de vaccination contre la rage)”

  3. Travel day and arrival

    1. 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

  • 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.
  • For any question about taking your pet abroad, ONSSA asks you to contact its veterinary service where you live; the export page links a list of these services with their addresses and phone numbers. ONSSA publishes no lead time, so ask them early.

Money

What it costs

Government fees exactly as the official pages state them, and what vets and labs in Morocco publish for the steps above. The two are never added together.

Government fees on this route

Government fees in total: 150 MAD + 98.60 PEN (each currency separately)

What vets and labs charge Not official figures

We have no published vet or lab prices for Morocco yet.

Prices that businesses publish on their own pages, quoted as we read them; yours can differ. Ranges are the lowest to highest of these examples, never our estimate. How we collect prices

Airline fees aren’t included: check your airline’s pet page.

Round trip

Coming back to Morocco

Nothing for the trip back has to happen before your pet leaves Morocco (dogs).

The trip back asks for 8 steps: microchip or tattoo before the rabies vaccination, 6 months in a rabies-free country or area (ask ONSSA), rabies vaccination (inactivated vaccine) and rabies blood test, if your pet stays less than 12 months and more.
