Bringing pets other than dog or cat

[JOHN PARANIUK]

Anyone have experience bringing pets other than dogs or cats to Panama? In my case I am wondering specifically about a cockatiel.I’m thinking that with the large indigenous bird population that it wouldn’t be allowed, but no harm asking. Has anyone else brought more unusual pets? Level of difficulty?

I’d also be interested in birds, as we have an African Grey. And what about horses? Most of what I have read makes me think that for other than cat/dogs, the process gets very complicated.

Hi there John and Doug, yes my understanding is that for birds the paperwork gets more complicated. It is possible, there are people who have brought their birds down but you may find the extra requirements a bit time-consuming. For detailed current info it is best to ask a relocator or attorney that deals with this regularly, if you don’t have one try:

For other animals like horses and cows yes, the process is more complex, Cats and dogs are the most common and thus the processes are the easiest/most streamlined.

Hope this helps.
