No dog or cat may be imported into Colombia except in accordance with the terms of an import permit. The permit must be obtained from the coordinator of the Animal Inspection and Quarantine Unit, Colombian Agricultural Institute, Santa Fe de Bogota, Colombia.

A special veterinary certificate is required to travel with your dog from the UK to Colombia.

The certificate must be approved by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) and signed by an Official Vet, which is a vet who has gone through a special training to be authorised to complete Export Health Certificates.

In order to take your dog to Colombia, vaccination against Rabies is not necessary. However, it is strongly recommended, since Rabies is present in the country.

A written declaration must be given to the Official Vet, confirming that the animals have been resident in the UK for the previous 6 months or since birth.

Your pet must be examined by a vet within 96hrs days before travelling to Colombia, and the vet should declare that your pet is fit to travel.

After this examination, provided that all the requirements are met (see below), we provide the owners with the Export Health Certificate.

TRAVELLING THROUGH OTHER COUNTRIES: it is the responsibility of the exporter/agent to apply to the relevant authorities of any transit countries for permission to transport the animals through these countries. Additional health certification may be necessary.
