Batumi has several veterinary practices in the city centre and surrounding districts. Emergency care is available but for complex cases the better-equipped Tbilisi veterinary hospitals (4-5 hours away) may be necessary. Ask your hotel or guesthouse for the nearest recommended vet.

💡 Quick Tips

1.The Georgian national emergency number is 112; for veterinary emergencies at night, ask at your accommodation or call 112 for guidance to the nearest on-call vet.
2.Ticks are common in Adjara's subtropical forest zone; use tick prevention before visiting Mtirala National Park and check your dog thoroughly after any forest walk.
3.The Adjara coast has sandfly activity in summer evenings; check with your vet at home about leishmaniasis prevention if travelling from endemic or at-risk European regions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is leishmaniasis a risk for my dog in Batumi?

The Adjara coast is in the distribution zone for Phlebotomus sandflies that can transmit leishmaniasis. The risk is lower than in Mediterranean Europe but non-zero during the summer months. If you are coming from Spain, Italy, Portugal, or other endemic EU areas and your dog is not on preventive treatment, consult your vet before travelling.

Can I get the return EU health certificate issued in Batumi?

A Georgian-authorised vet can complete the re-export certificate for your dog's return to the EU. Ask the State Veterinary Inspection Office (LEPL) in Batumi for a list of authorised practices; this is required for EU re-entry within 10 days of departure.
