Benin does NOT require that the pet be micro chipped although when traveling internationally it is always recommended.
Benin requires that you first obtain an import permit.
A licensed veterinary must complete the international health certificate stating that the pet is health enough to travel, is free of parasites and is free of diseases communicable to humans. The pet must be vaccinated for rabies at least 30 days prior to entering Benin.
The health certificate must be certified by the Consulate
Failure to comply with these regulations will not only mean that the pet is refused entry but that the relevant authority in consultation with an authorized vet can decide to return the pet home, or place the pet in quarantine at the expense of the owner or natural person responsible for pet; or as a last resort, without financial compensation, put the pet down where the return trip home or quarantine cannot be envisaged.
All other pets (birds, invertebrates, tropical fish, reptiles, amphibian, mammals such as rodents and rabbits) are not subject to the regulations in respect of the anti-rabies vaccination but may have to meet other requirements as to a limit on the number of animals and a certificate to accompany them in respect of other diseases. Owners are strongly advised to seek further information from the relevant authority of their country and/or that of the country of destination.
The import application, instructions for entry and veterinary certificate as well as the 15 digit microchips are available from Pet Travel, Inc.
