Pet Transport from Oman to Mauritius

Key facts: Oman to Mauritius

Export health certificate: The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries Wealth and Water Resources issues a veterinary health certificate for exporting an animal shipment (gov.om service, page updated 1 June 2026). The page does not name pets, but the ministry's matching import service treats dogs and cats as one type of animal shipment, so this is the route for a pet leaving Oman. Applies to pets and other animals leaving Oman.

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.

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.

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.
