English-speaking vets on Gran Canaria: pet travel, prevention and out-of-hours care

Bringing a dog or cat to the island means an EU pet passport — or an animal health certificate if you are travelling from outside the EU, Great Britain included — plus a readable microchip and a valid rabies vaccination, in that order, because a vaccination given before the chip does not count. Veterinary clinics on Gran Canaria read chips, record vaccinations and check before the journey home whether the booster is still valid. Airlines and ferry operators add their own rules on carriers, weight and advance booking, so check those when you book rather than at the desk.

Prevention is the island-specific part of the conversation: leishmaniasis and heartworm both occur in the Canaries, spread by sandflies and mosquitoes. A vet will go through which combination of repellent collar, spot-on, vaccination and blood testing fits the animal, its age and how long you are staying — no single measure rules an infection out. Every practice in this directory shows which languages are documented for it.

Frequently asked questions

What paperwork does my dog need on Gran Canaria?
Travelling from an EU country: an EU pet passport, a microchip and a rabies vaccination in date, with the chip implanted before the vaccination. Pets coming from outside the EU — Great Britain included since Brexit — normally travel on an animal health certificate instead. These rules change, so confirm the current version with your own vet and with the carrier well before you book.
Is there an out-of-hours vet service?
There is no single island-wide rota comparable to the human emergency service; individual clinics run their own evening, weekend or around-the-clock cover. Ask your practice who takes over at night and on public holidays, and save that number before you need it.
What should I know about leishmaniasis prevention?
Leishmaniasis is spread by sandflies, which bite mainly in the warmer months and around dusk. Prevention usually combines a repellent collar or spot-on with, in some cases, vaccination and blood tests after a longer stay. Which combination suits your animal, and which early signs to watch for, is a conversation to have with the vet.
