How Guadeloupe handles your pet
Key points
Guadeloupe applies DIFFERENT arrival conditions by where the animal comes from, and the requirements stored on this row are the STRICTEST case (arrival from a third country outside the EU)
(1) From mainland France, an animal needs only a microchip and to be "âgé de plus de 8 semaines s’il ne voyage pas avec sa mère" — no rabies vaccination is demanded on that route
(2) From French Guiana or an EU country, the animal must additionally "être âgés de plus de 12 semaines", hold a valid rabies vaccination and a passport
(3) From a third country it must also "avoir subi un titrage sérique des anticorps antirabiques" in an EU-approved laboratory and carry the original health certificate
Travellers from a country on the DAAF's serological-exemption list (Argentina, Australia, Canada, USA, Japan, Mexico, Switzerland and others) are exempt from that titration
Dangerous dogs: first-category "type" American Staffordshire terrier, Mastiff and Tosa are barred outright — "Leur introduction en Guadeloupe est interdite conformément à l’arrêté préfectoral PREF/CAB/DSV/N°02-259 du 11 mars 2002"
Second-category dogs (LOF-registered American Staffordshire terrier, Tosa Inu, Mastiff, Rottweiler, and "type" Rottweiler) may enter but "De plus, le propriétaire doit avoir obtenu, dans la commune où il réside, un permis de détention."
Tag -90 Mikrochip setzen · Tag -21 Frist für die Tollwutimpfung · Tag -10 Gesundheitszeugnis ausgestellt · Tag 0 Ankunft beim Zoll
Bedingte Anforderungen
Diese Regeln gelten nur für einen Teil der Reisenden — je nachdem, woher das Tier abfliegt, wo es gewesen ist oder wer mitreist. Die meisten können sie übergehen; trifft eine aber auf Sie zu, kann sie ändern, was Sie brauchen, oder zur Einreiseverweigerung führen, wenn Sie sie überspringen.
Pet arriving from mainland France, French Guiana or an EU country
Tollwut-Titertest (Blutuntersuchung): Nicht erforderlich
Health certificate: DAAF Guadeloupe: "Pour voyager avec son animal de compagnie au sein de l’Union Européenne, il n’est pas nécessaire d’obtenir un certificat vétérinaire officiel." — an EU-origin arrival travels on the EU pet passport, not a third-country health certificate. The BASE leaf keeps the strict third-country requirement.
