There are no quarantine requirements. There are vets who can assist with import/export paperwork, but I would be wary of the quality of medical care they can provide. - Jul 2019
There are no quarantine requirements. There are local vets available, but the quality of care is probably not on par with that in the US. - Jul 2019
There are veterinary services for dogs and cats (though other animals, like tortoises, it's hard to find a vet to help them.) Most people ship pet food to post, but some can be found locally (though it's expensive). There is one nice, big park in Zone du Bois that's good for walking a dog (keep it on a leash due to crocodiles!), and some people walk their dogs around the dusty streets here. Watch out for stray dogs on the roads. - Dec 2017
No. Pet importation is quite easy, and on Brussels Airlines, relatively inexpensive. Most people ship in pet food/litter via pouch. I'm unaware of vet options, but will need to use them for paperwork when we leave. - May 2016
