Key facts: Germany to Mauritius

Export health certificate: Berlin example: apply to the district veterinary office three to four weeks before travel; fees are time-based under tariff 31050 of the Berlin VSGebO, from EUR 41 to EUR 615. Applies to dogs and cats leaving from Berlin (Treptow-Köpenick).
Reisen mit Heimtieren, 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.
