Conakry - 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?
Nope. There are a couple veterinarians that are used, but they are terrible. In truth, they are shockingly bad. I have seen the after effects of a surgery (a spaying done in-apartment, where the vet left the sedated cat in a bloody room with the uterus thrown in the trash bin. I’ve seen one try to draw blood, blindly stabbing a pet (without regard for where the vein might be), but basic things can get done. I even know of a vet who gave a cat vaccines only intended for dogs. Don't expect ANY vet care here. - Sep 2022
There are no well-qualified vets here, and even if you find one, it's doubtful that s/he would have access to legitimate vaccines or medicine. There's no quarantine. I wouldn't bring a pet here or adopt one here due to the lack of veterinary care. - Nov 2019
No quarentine. There are a lot of dog owners in Conakry and the current expat community is very dog friendly. That said, there are not a lot vet options, so serious health issues can be difficult to treat. - Dec 2014
No. Also there is no problem traveling through Paris, as long as you are only transiting and you have current rabies vaccinations for your pets. - Sep 2009
