Which Canada rules depend on a pet coming from Peru?
Canada sets different rules for 3 groups of countries, and the official wording does not settle on its own which group covers Peru. Check the group table in our Canada guide before you plan.
None of the Canada rules we have verified names Peru on its own.
The rules that apply to every pet entering Canada, whatever the origin, are listed with their official sources in our Canada guide.
