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?
Vet services are lacking and very costly. A few are in Bastos and can make home calls, but you should always get a second opinion. Pets are considered food here. You will not see any stray dogs, cats, guinea pigs or even birds. - Jan 2025
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
