Can you bring a dog to Morocco from Europe?
Yes, you can bring a dog to Morocco from Europe, but you need the right paperwork: an up-to-date rabies vaccination, a recent veterinary health certificate (issued within about ten days of travel), and a microchip. Requirements are specific and enforced, so check the current rules with a vet and the Moroccan authorities before you travel.
Ferries from Spain generally allow pets with correct documents, and this land/sea route is often simpler than flying. Not all accommodation accepts dogs, and many riads and restaurants are not pet-friendly, so plan where you’ll stay carefully.
Consider whether Morocco suits your dog — summer heat, busy medinas and street dogs can be stressful. If you do bring one, keep the vaccination and health certificate to hand for the border and for the return journey home.
