Bringing a pet to Grenada

Last reviewed July 2, 2026

Grenada has moderately strict pet import rules that vary depending on the rabies risk of the origin country. There is no mandatory quarantine for pets arriving from low-risk countries if all documentation is in order, but pets from high-risk areas may face stricter requirements or quarantine. Expect to provide proof of rabies vaccination, a health certificate, and possibly a rabies titer test.

Frequently asked questions

Most airlines allow ferrets in the cabin if the carrier fits under the seat (typically max dimensions 45x35x20 cm). Check with your specific airline for their pet policy. Grenada's animal import rules do not restrict cabin travel, but the airline's rules apply.
Grenada does not specify a strict limit for non-commercial pet imports, but generally up to 2-3 pets per person is considered personal. If bringing more than 3, contact the Grenada Ministry of Agriculture to confirm whether commercial rules apply.
Yes. For ferrets arriving from high-risk rabies countries, a FAVN titer test is required. The test must be done at least 30 days after the rabies vaccination and within 12 months of travel. The result must show an antibody level of at least 0.5 IU/mL.
No. Grenada does not recognize emotional support animals as a separate category. All ferrets, regardless of role, must meet the same import requirements: microchip, rabies vaccination, health certificate, and if from a high-risk country, titer test and quarantine.
The quarantine period is 30 days at an approved facility in Grenada. You must reserve quarantine space in advance through the Grenada Ministry of Agriculture. All costs are borne by the owner.
Grenada generally requires a rabies vaccine valid for 1 year for ferrets. If your ferret received a 3-year vaccine, ensure it is administered at least 21 days before travel and that the certificate clearly shows the vaccine type and expiration date. Confirm with the Ministry of Agriculture if a 3-year vaccine is accepted.
No. Ferrets must be at least 12 weeks old to receive the rabies vaccine, and the vaccine must be given at least 21 days before travel. Therefore, the minimum age for entry is effectively 15 weeks (12 weeks + 21 days wait).

Good to know

All pets must be microchipped and accompanied by a valid health certificate issued within 10 days of travel. Advance notification to the Grenada Ministry of Agriculture is required, and failure to comply can result in quarantine or denial of entry.

Airline rules & connecting flights

Government import rules are only half the picture — your airline sets its own pet policy on top of them: whether your petcan fly in the cabin at all, size/weight limits for the carrier, breed embargoes (many airlines refuse brachycephalic breeds like bulldogs and pugs in cargo), and seasonal heat restrictions. Check your specific airline's pet policy before booking — see IATA's Traveler's Pet Corner .

If your flight has a layover, the transit country can have its own pet rules — sometimes these apply even if you never leave the airport. If you're transiting through another country on the way to Grenada, check that country's pet-entry/transit rules separately (search "pets" on this site for that country too).

For guidance only. Pet import rules change without notice and a wrong step can mean quarantine or a refused entry for your animal — always confirm current requirements with Grenada's official veterinary/agriculture authority and your airline before travelling.
