Responsible Primate Ownership

Primate ownership requires substantial preparation. Primates are intelligent, social, long-lived exotic animals that need specialized housing, nutrition, enrichment, supervision, and veterinary care. They should never be purchased impulsively or treated like conventional household pets.

Before contacting us on our primates for sale, prospective owners should consider whether they have sufficient time, space, financial resources, veterinary access, and long-term plans to care for a primate responsibly.

Ownership rules vary by state, county, city, and species. Some locations prohibit private primate ownership, while others require permits, inspections, insurance, registration, or specific housing standards. It is the prospective owner's responsibility to verify all applicable requirements before reserving or transporting an animal.

For federal animal-welfare and licensing information, visit the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service . You may also review the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for public-health information concerning monkeys and other nonhuman primates.

General veterinary guidance can be found through the American Veterinary Medical Association .

Permit Assistance and Legal Requirements

Understanding local ownership requirements is an essential part of the process. Premier Primates can provide general guidance and help prospective owners identify questions they should ask their state or local authorities. However, approval and legal compliance remain the owner's responsibility.

Visit our Permit Assistance page to learn more about researching ownership rules and preparing the documents that may be required in your area.

Do not place a deposit or make transportation arrangements until you have confirmed that ownership is legal at your exact destination.

Safe Primate Transportation

Pickup may be available by appointment. When an approved owner cannot collect in person, transportation options may be discussed based on the destination, weather, animal's age and health, carrier availability, and applicable regulations.

Transportation must be planned around the safety and comfort of the animal. Depending on the circumstances, an appropriate travel crate, required documentation, and coordinated pickup or delivery arrangements may be necessary.
