Yaounde - 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?

I have seen a vet's office here, but we don't have pets so I don't know what's good. - Feb 2022


No quarantine required prior to entry. The vets here are not like we were used to back home; expect basic conditions and you won't be disappointed. I once had to compete with President Macron as I spoke to the vet assistant; he was speaking on TV which was on super loud right at the reception desk. When I asked her to turn it off, she seemed surprised! Some vets apparently do house calls, which might avoid the need to compete with President Macron... - Jun 2018


There are local veterinarians that people use for standard care without any problems. There are actually a few dog breeders in Yaounde, so pets are not entirely uncommon. There is no quarantine and no other restrictions, to my knowledge. - Apr 2017

No. Vets are available and seem good. We took in a street cat and the vet was knowledgable and did a good job. - Jan 2014
