Bringing a pet to Grenada

Last reviewed October 2, 2026

Grenada is a rabies-free island nation with strict but manageable pet import rules. Dogs from most countries can avoid quarantine if rabies vaccination, microchip, health certificate, and import permit are in order. Dogs from high-risk rabies countries also need a passing FAVN titer test. Start paperwork at least 1–2 months before travel and confirm current fees and forms with the Grenada Ministry of Agriculture.

Frequently asked questions

Grenada generally allows up to 2 dogs per person for non-commercial import. If you are bringing more than 2, the shipment may be considered commercial and require additional permits and inspections. Confirm with the Grenada Ministry of Agriculture before travel.

Only if your dog is coming from a high-risk rabies country (e.g., Thailand, Russia, most of Africa). For low-risk or rabies-free countries, a titer test is not required. The test must be done at least 30 days after rabies vaccination and at least 3 months before travel.

No, there is no mandatory quarantine for dogs entering Grenada if all import requirements are met: valid rabies vaccination, health certificate, import permit, and (if applicable) titer test. However, if documents are incomplete, the animal may be quarantined at the owner's expense.

You must apply to the Grenada Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, and Forestry for an import permit before travel. The application typically requires proof of rabies vaccination, a health certificate, and for high-risk countries, a FAVN titer test result. Processing can take up to 2 weeks. The permit is usually valid for 30–60 days.

Yes, Grenada does not exempt emotional support or service dogs from import requirements. All dogs must have a rabies vaccination, health certificate, import permit, and microchip. Service dogs may be allowed in the cabin on some airlines, but import rules remain the same.

Your dog must be vaccinated against rabies at least 21 days before travel. The vaccine must be given when the dog is at least 12 weeks old. Other vaccinations (e.g., distemper, parvovirus) are not required by Grenada but are recommended for your dog's health.

Airlines determine whether pets can travel in the cabin or must go as cargo. Grenada allows pets to arrive at Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND). Check with your airline for specific pet policies, as some airlines restrict brachycephalic breeds or require advance booking.

Frequently asked questions

Grenada does not publish a specific limit for non-commercial pet cats. However, if you are bringing more than 5 cats, the import may be considered commercial and require additional permits and inspections. Contact the Grenada Ministry of Agriculture for guidance if you plan to bring more than 5 cats.

Yes. Grenada does not exempt emotional support or service animals from import requirements. All cats, regardless of their role, must have an import permit, rabies vaccination, health certificate, and parasite treatment. There is no separate category for assistance animals.

It depends on the origin country. If your cat is coming from a high-risk rabies country (e.g., most of Africa, Asia, Middle East, parts of Eastern Europe), a FAVN rabies titer test showing ≥0.5 IU/ml is required. The test must be done at least 30 days after rabies vaccination. For cats from low-risk or rabies-free countries, no titer test is required.

The health certificate must be issued within 10 days before arrival in Grenada. It must be signed by an official government veterinarian or an accredited private veterinarian endorsed by the national veterinary authority.

Yes. Your cat must be identified with an ISO 11784/11785 compliant microchip. If your cat was vaccinated before being microchipped, the rabies vaccination may not be considered valid, so ensure the microchip is implanted before or at the same time as the rabies vaccination.

No quarantine is required if all import conditions are met: valid import permit, rabies vaccination, health certificate, parasite treatment, and (if applicable) titer test. If documents are incomplete or the cat shows signs of illness, quarantine may be imposed at the owner's expense.

You must apply to the Grenada Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment. The application typically requires proof of rabies vaccination, microchip number, and travel details. Processing can take 1-2 weeks. Apply well in advance. The permit is usually valid for a specific period, so coordinate with your travel dates.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, but ferrets are classified as 'other pets' and require an import permit from the Grenada Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment. You must apply before travel and provide a rabies vaccination certificate, a health certificate issued within 10 days of travel, and proof of an ISO 11784/11785 microchip. Ferrets from high-risk rabies countries also need a FAVN/RFFIT titer test.

Grenada does not publish a specific limit for ferrets. The general practice for non-commercial pet movement is a maximum of 2 to 3 animals per traveller. More than that may be treated as a commercial shipment and require additional permits and inspections. Contact the Ministry of Agriculture in advance to confirm.

No. Grenada does not recognise emotional support animals as service animals, and even trained service animals must meet all import requirements, including permit, rabies vaccination, microchip, and health certificate. There is no exemption for ferrets used for emotional support.

Processing typically takes 5 to 10 business days once the Ministry receives a complete application, including the health certificate and rabies vaccination proof. Apply at least 3 to 4 weeks before travel to allow for delays.

Only if the ferret is coming from a high-risk rabies country (e.g., Thailand, Russia, most of Africa, South Asia, Middle East). The FAVN or RFFIT test must be done at an OIE/WHO-approved laboratory at least 30 days after the first rabies vaccination and at least 90 days before travel. For low-risk or free origins, no titer test is required.

The animal may be denied entry, placed in quarantine at your expense, or returned to the origin country. Quarantine fees can be $50-100 USD per day. Ensure all documents are complete and the import permit is approved before travel.

Yes. The microchip must comply with ISO 11784/11785 standards. If your ferret already has a non-ISO microchip, you will need to carry a compatible reader or have the ferret re-microchipped. The microchip number must be recorded on the health certificate and import permit application.

Good to know

An import permit is required for all dogs and must be obtained before travel. The original health certificate must accompany the animal. Airlines may have additional requirements, so check with your carrier.

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).
