No answers yet on this one so i thought i'd bump it to the top.

I think the only countries that have a reciprocal agreement for pets (pet passport scheme) is those within the EU.
As Morrocco is not an EU country then i would think full quarantine rules apply although i'm not 100% sure. Hopefully someone more learned can confirm this?

This might be relevant with the forthcoming 2006 Morrocco rally if anyone going has a pet?

pete.

Hi Kribbs,
We are going to Morocco mid November for about three months.
I have recently phoned both ferry companies operating Algeciras to Morocco on this subject and they both said there is no problem!

Hi

Just back today from Morocco......

For the first time ALL in my group where asked, as we left Morocco, if they had cats/dogs in vehicles. Again I saw dogs tied up at border...I assume taken from "Brit" passport holders.

BIG notices up for Spanish residence (that will allow free passage of pets) reminding that chip/paperwork needed.

In short I think it is clear that no UK resident can take a pet in/out of Morocco......

Hi,
Thanks to Detourer for the latest info, and to ScotJimland for the link.
Something puzzles me. If dogs are left tied up at the border, why would Morocco want to retain dodgey dogs? Or is it the Spanish authorities not letting them through. In which case, why would they let Spanish dogs through which presumably have had similar treatments to UK ones and have been exposed to the same conditions in Morocco?
My next step is to try and contact someone in Morocco about it.
I have set my heart on Morocco this winter, and don't want to have to change my plans!

Hi Cellerman

Would stress not an expert or at all clear on the pet situation re Morocco.......but observations and your points¨

Dogs held at border may be there for all sorts of reasons.......got in OK but did not have paperwork, chip etc etc.......At times you can cross into Morocco with min fuss...........no questions, no looking in vehicles etc etc. The same applies going out........but if you do get stopped and all is not in order they are quite infexable........also pedigree dogs are worth a few $ in Morocco. Faced with not being able to leave the country with your pet a heart breaking choice will have to be made........stay with it or leave it!

I think that the Spanish regs re transport of pets is quite different from UK. UK-Morocco..........no. Spain-Morocco........OK.

Like I said I have been in and out many times, shown "Spanish" paperwork (Sometimes) and never had a problem.

All I can say is that for the first time all the UK reg Motorhomes in my last tour group were stopped and specifically asked if they had cats or dogs. unfortunately I had already cleared and was on the Spanish side, so could not ask questions.

I am over again next month and will try and get info.
