Pet Transport from Canada to Mauritius

Key facts: Canada to Mauritius

Export health certificate: Most pets leaving Canada need an export certificate from a licensed vet, endorsed by an official CFIA veterinarian (page modified 2025-03-31). Applies to dogs and cats leaving Canada.
Pets: export requirements, checked 1 October 2026
Quarantine: Minimum quarantine of 5 days at the Quarantine Facility, Reduit, for dogs and cats; a kennel or cattery must be available before the permit is issued.
2022 Guidelines to bring cats to Mauritius, checked 1 October 2026
Official sources differ
The older undated DVS note (https://agriculture.govmu.org/Documents/Division%20of%20Veterinary%20%20Services/Importation%20of%20pet%20animals%20-DVS.pdf) says a minimum of five working days or one month depending on the country of origin, with no country list. The newer 2022 DVS guidelines state 5 days with no origin distinction and are followed; confirm the period on the permit.
Rabies titre test: Rabies neutralising antibody (RNAT) test required for dogs and cats: result of 0.5 IU/ml or more, FAVN or RFFIT, at a lab approved by the exporting country's veterinary authority or an OIE (WOAH) reference lab. The test must be done not less than 3 months and not more than 12 months before shipment, with at least 3 months between sampling and travel; the alternative is six months in an approved quarantine station before shipment under the exporting Veterinary Authority. The 2022 guidelines do not exempt any origin.
2022 Guidelines to bring cats to Mauritius, checked 6 October 2026
Official sources differ
UK APHA certificate 4045EHC v4 (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5bc711d240f0b63867a73290/4045EHC_V4.pdf) says the dog test must be done at least one month and not more than 6 months before export. Mauritius's own 2022 guideline (3 months minimum wait) is followed; a UK test must therefore fall 3 to 6 months before export.
