Marrakech has several veterinary practices, primarily in Guéliz and the new city.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is leishmaniasis a significant risk for my dog in Marrakech?

Yes, Morocco is a known endemic zone for canine leishmaniasis. The Phlebotomus sandfly is active mainly from April to October in warm evenings. If your dog is coming from northern Europe (UK, Scandinavia, Netherlands, Belgium) where leishmania is not endemic, they have no natural immunity. Consult your vet about preventive collar or spot-on treatment before travelling.

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

Yes, an ONSSA-authorised vet in Marrakech can issue the re-export health certificate for EU return. Ask your accommodation host or the 'Marrakech Expats' Facebook group for the current recommended ONSSA-authorised vet; the certificate must be issued within 10 days of departure.
