Rio De Janeiro - 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?
Rio is a pet owner's dream! Our dog had a vet who we could message and would respond quickly, a dentist, a cardiologist, and a dermatologist and it cost a fraction of what you would pay in the US. There's day care and overnight boarding and lots of dog walkers. People bring their dogs to the mall and the beach. There are several dog parks throughout the city. - Jun 2024

Brazilians LOVE dogs. You will see dogs groomed better than their owners. - Sep 2019
I didn't have a pet, but many friends did and found that they're treated well because Brazil is the second largest pet-owning country in the world. - Apr 2019
