If you're bringing your pets with you on your overseas move, you'll have to make sure that they have all of the required vaccinations before being cleared at customs. You'll also need the required documentation and certification from a licensed animal health official prior to arriving.
All Dogs and Cats must first be micro-chipped then vaccinated against rabies at least 30 days, but not more than 12 months, prior to pet relocation to Bolivia and must be accompanied with a certificate of proof. Pets must also be accompanied by a veterinary export health certificate signed, stamped and dated within 10 days in country of origin.
A Pet Passport is a document that officially records information related to a specific animal, as part of that procedure.
It is a document certifying an animal's identity, health, and vaccination status, enabling it to be taken to and from certain countries without the need for a period of quarantine.
In all cases this will include a certification of rabies vaccination, but there are other items (blood tests, tick and worm treatments) that may only be required in specific circumstances.
All other pets (birds, invertebrates, tropical fish, reptiles, amphibia, mammals such as rodents and rabbits) are not subject to the pet relocation regulations in respect of the anti-rabies vaccination but will need to meet other requirements as to a limit on the number of pets and a veterinary export health certificate to accompany them in respect of other diseases. Bolivia is considering pets being accompanied by a Pet Passport from certain countries.
A pet passport is an official registration document that is unique for the pet that contains data about the pet itself (including details of permanenet identification), the registered owner, and a number of health related aspects.
