Senegal Pet Import Requirements

Three-month import permit, twenty-one-day Form 7001 and rabies proof.

Documents and permits

Dog / Cat · In the cabin / Accompanied hold baggage / Separate cargo service

Obtain the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Livestock import permit for every dog/cat; it is valid three months from issue. APHIS requests country of origin, species/breed, owner’s full name and origin-home address for the application. Confirm the current application channel with the ministry.

Selected official conditions for healthy vaccinated adult personal dogs/cats from the United States. This is not a complete entry decision or airline acceptance. Other origins, young animals, breeding, transit, permit conditions and current border services need separate confirmation with the certifying veterinarian and destination authority.

APHIS Form 7001 may be used, issued within twenty-one days of travel. If a USDA-accredited veterinarian signs and enters the national accreditation number (NAN), no APHIS federal endorsement is required. Carry it with the import permit and valid rabies certificate; the form’s generic thirty-day wording does not replace Senegal’s twenty-one-day requirement.
