Bringing pets to Cape Verde :

There are many things to consider if wanting to bring pets into Cape Verde. The proper licence must be obtained, that all injections have been given prior to entering CV, also whether food and medication for certain animals is readily available before bringing the animals over.

Certain animals may find it hard to get accustomed to the climate. There are vets or associations that help cats and dogs on some islands.

There is one Vet Santa Maria, Sal Island:

Neutering campaigns

Neutering campaigns are carried out by organisations who send Vets in from other countries. Cape Verde relies on these organisations to help deal with birth control. These organisations rely to a great extent on donations, so please help if you can by donating. However if you just want information on bringing animals into or taking them out of Cape Verde they would love to hear from you.
