shipping dogs and cats to uruguay
These requirements apply to animals traveling with a passenger or animals traveling by cargo. The animal must be accompanied by a USDA endorsed health certificate and proof of rabies vaccination and Praziquantel treatment (the Praziquantel treatment is for dogs only). It must include the name and address of the owner and the breed, sex, birth date, size (ie: small, medium or large) and any particular markings of the animal. The health certificate must also indicate the country of origin and destination. Rabies vaccination is required for all dogs and cats over three months of age. It must be given more than thirty (30) days and less than one (1) year before the arrival date in the country of destination. This vaccination must be listed on the health certificate and a copy of the Rabies certificate included. All dogs entering Uruguay must be treated for the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus with Praziquantel, at 50 mg per 10 kg of live weight. It must be given more than seventytwo (72) hours and less than thirty (30) days before the arrival date in the country of destination. This treatment must be listed on the health certificate. The health certificate must state that the animal was examined within ten days of departure and present no clinical signs of diseases associated with that species. The Government of Uruguay has additional requirements for countries that are affected with African horse sickness or Rift Valley fever. Please inquire regarding this if your animal is traveling to Uruguay from a country other than the United States.
