Burkina Faso does NOT require that the pet be micro chipped although when
traveling interntionally it is always recommended.
Burkina Faso requires that you firs 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 parasistes and is free of
diseases communicable to humans. The pet must be vaccinted for rabies at least 30 days
prior to entering Burkina Faso.
The health certificate must be translated into French
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, amphibia,
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.
