Geneva - 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?

Tons of great vets, no quarantine, just paid the 200 usd crate fee to travel as cargo/baggage from the US. You have to have the chip placed on your pet followed by the rabies shot in that order. Once you arrive you have 10 days to see a vet, where they give you a pet passport, get insurance on your pet, and register your pet with the Marie. - Jun 2022

No quarantine. Pet care is good though pricey and decent pet food is very expensive. - Mar 2014

No. - Feb 2012


Just make sure to have the USDA Health Certificate of good health, rabies vac., and tattoo or European micro-chip for ID (which a US vet can special order and activate). - Jul 2009
