Bridgetown - 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?
No quarantine required. However, due to how Barbados facilitates pet importations, no pets can come into the country in cabin. Americans Airlines out of Miami is your only option (JetBlue doesn’t fly an aircraft model to Barbados that has a pressurized cargo for pet transport). It’s a cumbersome process, including temp restrictions being a major headache, but doable. Departing Barbados with a pet is much easier, especially if your pet is eligible to fly in cabin based on size. Your pet can depart Barbados in cabin; you just need to coordinate with American. - Aug 2019

Incoming pets must come through London. If they qualify for the PETS scheme to get into the UK quarantine-exempt, then they can come to Barbados w/o quarantine. Otherwise you're looking at 6 months quarantine in London.$$$$ - Feb 2010
