Togo Pet Passport & Import Regulations
There will be no quarantine imposed on your pet when entering Togo as long as the following requirements are met. Unless otherwise stated, the regulations below apply to domestic dogs and cats only. Owners of other pets should refer to item 8.
Pet Microchip
Togo does not require that your pet be identified with a pet microchip, but it is recommended that you microchip your pet and register your contact information prior to traveling as a means of identification should your pet be lost or separated from you. If your pet does not have a registered microchip, make sure your pets are wearing tags that identify them and have contact information for the owner.
Vaccinations
Your pet must have proof of current vaccination against rabies at least 21 days prior to entering Togo. Dogs should also be vaccinated against Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parovirus, Parainfluenza and Distemper. Cats should also be vaccinated against Feline Panleukopenia, Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus and Leukemia.
Rabies Titer Test
A rabies titer test is not required to enter Togo from any country.

Within 3 days of entering Togo, another health certificate must be completed and signed by a licensed veterinarian. This certificate does not need endorsement. Both certificates should be presented when entering Togo.

Live animals entering Togo should do so at Lome-Tokoin Airport in Lome. Advance notice should be given to veterinary officials so they will be available to inspect your pet upon landing.
All domestic dogs and cats must be free of evidence of disease communicable to humans when examined at the port of entry to Togo. If your pet is not in apparent good health, further examination by a licensed veterinarian may be required at your expense.
Returning to Togo
Pets returning to Togo are subject to the same passport requirements as those entering for the first time. This means that pet owners returning to Togo should have a new health certificate completed by a vet in the country you are visiting if you stay for more than 30 days.

Rabbits and birds, invertebrates, tropical fish, reptiles, amphibia, mammals such as rodents are not subject to requirements of rabies vaccination, but may have to meet other requirements and should have a health certificate to enter Togo Pet owners are strongly advised to seek further information from the relevant authority of their country and/or that of the country of destination.
