Pet and Travel

If you want to bring a pet to the island (and not anything exotic or potentially dangerous), you should go to your vet within a week of traveling and get a health certificate, essentially claiming that the rabies vaccination is current and that the animal is in good health. Shortly before you return, you may have to get the same from a vet on the island. We're saying "may", because the rules are not completely clear here. And that is probably because most people don't bring a large animal for a week's vacation.

However, should you need a health certificate to take your pet home, there are several vets on the island, one in Concordia near Marigot, One on the waterfront in Marigot, one on Union Road in Cole Bay (Chris and Terry), one off Welfare Road in Cole Bay and the St.Maarten Animal Hospital on Cay Bay Hill.
The airline may charge you for transporting the animals and if they are allowed in the cabin, you may need reservations. Make sure to check in advance.
