Solomon Islands sets its own requirements for bringing in dogs and cats. From any departure country your pet needs microchip, additional vaccination, parasite treatment, veterinary health certificate, import permit and import declaration. The rules are the same for dogs and cats.
From some countries direct import is not allowed at all — check yours before buying a ticket. Order matters more than the list: the microchip goes in before the rabies vaccination, or the vaccination does not count.
