Pet Immigration Rules Uruguay

REGULATIONS FOR THE MOVEMENT OF PETS INTO URUGUAY

Uruguay does not quarantine healthy pets who meet the following requirements. These rules apply only to pets arriving from a rabies free country or a country with a low incidence of rabies such as the United States or Canada.

You will need an Import Permit to enter Uruguay.

Within 10 days of departure, have your veterinarian complete the Uruguay Veterinary Certificate stating that your pet is healthy, free of parasites and free of diseases communicable to humans. The pet must have been vaccinated for rabies at least 30 days prior to travel but no more than one year prior to travel. If the pet is traveling from the United States or Canada, then USDA (US) or CFIA (Canada) State Veterinarian endorsement is required. If traveling from another country, the Governing Authority should endorse the forms for you. A copy of the Rabies Certificate should also be included with the completed health certificate.

All dogs must be treated for the tapeworm Echinococcus more than seventy two hours and less than 30 days prior to arrival in Uruguay.

Failure to comply with these regulations will mean that your pet may be refused entry and the relevant authority in consultation with an authorized veterinarian 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 arranged.

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. Pet owners are strongly advised to seek further information from the relevant authority of their country and/or that of the country of destination.
