Checklist

What your pet needs

Every item below must be completed and verified before your pet can travel. Expand each category for the detail.

Microchip

ISO microchip required, implanted before the rabies vaccination.

Rabies vaccination

Required within 12 months of arrival, and given at least 30 days before travel. That two-part rule, an upper and a lower bound, is worth tracking against the flight date rather than just the vaccination date alone.

Rabies titre test

Not confirmed as a requirement for a pet arriving from the US in the guidance available, which centres on the vaccination record, microchip and import permit instead. Confirm directly with the Veterinary and Livestock Division given how thin published detail is on this specific point.

Quarantine

None described for a pet arriving with complete, compliant documentation, US-origin or otherwise.

Import permit

Required from the Ministry of Agriculture's Veterinary and Livestock Division. A completed Pet Permit Application Form, health certificate and rabies certificate need to reach the Division together, at least two weeks before the pet's arrival date.

Health certificate

International Health Certificate issued by a USDA-accredited vet and endorsed by APHIS, with the specific rule that it cannot be dated more than 3 weeks ahead of the arrival date.

Export permit

No export permit is required from the US side for a companion animal. Grenada's own import permit, issued by its Ministry of Agriculture, is the operative document.

Veterinary inspection

A USDA-accredited veterinarian examines the animal and confirms the microchip and rabies vaccination before completing the international health certificate.

Government endorsement

Endorsed by USDA APHIS, in most cases electronically through the Veterinary Export Health Certification System (VEHCS), live since 29 April 2020. Allow 3-5 business days for the endorsement.

Health certificate

USDA APHIS international health certificate. Grenada's own guidance is unusually specific here: the certificate cannot be issued more than 3 weeks before the pet's scheduled arrival. Source: aphis.usda.gov/pet-travel/us-to-another-country-export/pet-travel-us-grenada, checked July 2026.

We handle the regulations for every animal, every country, every airline, so nothing on your United States to Grenada move gets missed.

Not all airlines accept live animals on this route. Confirm the operating carrier's current policy for every flight segment.

Delta Air Lines

Runs a year-round nonstop service between Atlanta and Grenada, a useful option for owners based nearer the South-East who'd rather avoid a Miami connection.

Cargo Only

JetBlue

Operates a year-round nonstop route from New York JFK to Grenada, giving East Coast owners a direct option without transiting a third country.

Critical points

Grenada's own guidance says the health certificate cannot be issued more than 3 weeks before the pet's scheduled arrival. Booking the vet appointment too early is as much of a problem here as leaving it too late, since an out-of-window certificate risks rejection on arrival.

The two-week Pet Permit Application Form deadline is separate from the 3-week certificate window, and both need to line up with the actual flight date, not with each other in isolation.

No titre test is confirmed as required for this route, but published guidance on the point is thin. Confirm directly with the Veterinary and Livestock Division rather than assuming the absence of a mention means a definite exemption.

Meeting Grenada's entry requirements

The requirements for Grenada are light, but not zero. A little planning goes a long way on a route like this.

Advice worth following

Confirm live animal acceptance on every flight segment before booking. Not all aircraft or connections take pets, and cargo terms can differ leg to leg.

Keep every original document together and take copies. Border officials want originals, and a missing signature or date can hold up clearance.

Work backwards from your travel date and add a buffer. Fixed waiting periods mean a single slipped appointment can push the whole move back by weeks.

Check the airline’s crate size and labelling rules early. An undersized or wrongly labelled crate is a frequent reason pets are refused at check-in.

FAQ

Common questions

Not more than 3 weeks before the pet’s scheduled arrival, according to Grenada’s own published guidance for pets travelling from the US. This is an upper bound as well as a lower one, so the vet appointment needs to be timed against the confirmed flight date rather than arranged as early as possible.

It isn’t confirmed as a requirement in the guidance available. The published process centres on the vaccination record, microchip and import permit rather than a titre pathway, though confirming directly with the Veterinary and Livestock Division is sensible given how little detail is published on this specific point.

At least two weeks before the pet’s arrival date. The Pet Permit Application Form has to reach the Veterinary and Livestock Division together with the health certificate and rabies certificate within that window.

Yes, three. American Airlines flies Miami-Grenada nonstop up to seven times a week, Delta runs a year-round Atlanta service, and JetBlue operates a year-round route from New York JFK.

Not if the paperwork, microchip, vaccination record, permit and correctly timed health certificate, is all in order. Grenada’s guidance doesn’t describe a standard quarantine period for a pet that meets the published conditions.
