Bringing a dog or cat to Barbados in 2026 falls into the moderate category for international pet travel. Barbados is in Caribbean. Barbados does not routinely quarantine pets that arrive with complete paperwork. A rabies titer (FAVN/RNATT) test is mandatory, with a 90-day waiting period between the blood draw and arrival.

Plan to present the following at check-in and on arrival:
Barbados requires an import permit (BDS$25). ISO microchip must be implanted before rabies vaccination. Rabies vaccination requires a 35-day waiting period. For Category 2 (non-rabies-free) countries, a FAVN titer test is required with a 90-day waiting period. Health certificate must be issued within 7 days of travel. No breed-specific legislation published.
