Cotonou - 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?
Beninese tend not to like dogs, although there are certainly people here who have them. No quarantines. - Feb 2020
Not too many vets but the few there are cater to expat community and make house calls on fairly short notice. About U.S. vet prices or less. The vet is pretty decent but have to double-check work. - Aug 2018
No and there are reasonably good vets available who make house calls. Kennels were unnecessary as our guard cared for our dogs when we were away. - Jun 2015
Not that I am aware of. There are some decent local vets, but their capabilities will be limited. - Aug 2014

No, all that’s needed is a health certificate and rabies vaccination certificate. If your pet is small enough to be carried aboard I would recommend doing so. Airline baggage gets very rough handling here, and the Beninese don’t share or understand the whole attachment to our pets thing. - Dec 2011
