Vientiane - Post Report Question and Answers

Are qualified veterinarians and/or good kennel services available? Do animals need to be quarantined upon entry to the country? Are there other considerations regarding pets that are particular to this country?

People have brought dogs and cats here but it appears to be a process to bring their pets to Vientiane from Bangkok. Since we didn't bring any pets, we can't really comment on the details. - Mar 2024


Not sure about this one; I think there are kennel services available. - Jun 2020


Yes. No quarantine required. The fact that there are many dogs and cats roaming the streets makes it difficult to walk your dog. - Oct 2018


We did not bring a pet into the country, but I do not believe there was any quarantine. Remember to contact GSO with size of pet containers and information on your pet. There were two recommended vets that I recall. Stray dogs are abundant here. - Jan 2014
