Pet Transport from Nigeria to Ghana

Key facts: Nigeria to Ghana

Quarantine: Not listed: the Ghana Veterinary Services Department import page publishes a list of what dogs importers must provide (disease test results and vaccination records (Brucella canis, Trypanosoma evansi, Babesia gibsoni, Dirofilaria immitis, Leishmania spp., and the listed vaccinations)). It does not mention quarantine on arrival, so none is required. Read in full on 6 October 2026; no other official source (USDA APHIS certificate FEB 2020, UK 3901NFG revised 12/12/2023, DAFF MICoR) says Ghana requires it.

Rabies titre test: Not required: the VSD lists every test a dog importer must provide (Brucella canis, Trypanosoma evansi, Babesia gibsoni, Dirofilaria immitis, Leishmania spp.) and no rabies antibody test is among them. Cats need only a health attestation report, vaccination records and a veterinary certificate.

Which Ghana rules depend on a pet coming from Nigeria?

None of the Ghana rules we have verified names Nigeria on its own.

The rules that apply to every pet entering Ghana, whatever the origin, are listed with their official sources in our Ghana guide.

What does Nigeria require before your pet leaves?

We are still checking the export rules of Nigeria against official government pages, so they are not shown here yet.
