Bolivia is a country in central South America, with a varied terrain spanning Andes Mountains, the Atacama Desert and Amazon Basin rainforest. Bolivia has the highest salt flats, lake, administrative capital city, golf course, Irish pub, road, and cable car in the world.

Bolivia 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 Bolivia.
• A licensed veterinarian must also complete the health certificate for Bolivia prior to travel. The health certificate must also be endorsed by the Bolivian Consulate.
• The health certificate must also be translated into Spanish.
• A ticks and Tapeworm treatment is required prior to entering Bolivia.
• All pets must be free of evidence of disease communicable to humans when examined at the port of entry.
• Bolivia does not publish a list of banned breeds.
