Algeria is a North African country with a Mediterranean coastline and a Saharan desert interior. Many empires have left legacies here, such as the ancient Roman ruins in seaside Tipaza. Algeria is known for its traditional hospitality, its Mediterranean climate in the north, and the Sahara, which covers nearly 90% of the country.

Algeria is also a pet friendly country to travel to. While relocating with pets, it is important to keep the following things in mind-

• The first step is to microchip your pet with a 15 digit ISO compliant pet microchip.
• While a rabies titer test is not mandatory, all pets must have proof of the current rabies vaccination administered between 30 days and 12 months prior to entering the country. 
• Other vaccinations include, for dogs: Rabies, Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, and Parovirus.
• For cats: Feline Vioral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus and Panleukopenia.
• An import permit is not mandatory for entering Algeria with a personal pet.
• A licensed veterinarian must also complete the health certificate for Algeria prior to travel.
• Pets entering Algeria via air must do so via Houari Boumediene Airport in Algiers. Pets that are aggressive, must be muzzled.
• All pets must be free of evidence of disease communicable to humans when examined at the port of entry.
• Algeria does not publish a list of banned breeds.
