Hi

Planning to relocate with the family in the next coupke of month. We have a little jack russell which we would like tontake with us. Am I right to think that this type of breed is ok to come in qatar? What other documentation or vaccinations are required?
Passport?
Chip?
Rabbies vac?

Anything else?

Doha is not a dog friendly place generally. However, there are lots of people who have dogs who walk them in their neighbourhoods without problems. I am sure you are one of the pet owners who keep their dog on leash and pick up after them.

Some landlords do not allow pets (of any kind) just get it in writing you are allowed your pet before you sign the lease or pay any $$.

You will need an import permit to bring the dog with you - a pet relocator can be very helpful, a google search will help you find one. Chips, all vaccinations and usually a health cert from your country's Dept of Agriculture vet are also required. Also check with your airline for transport info.

Hi Wasaloadie,

could you please also share that info with me, I wanted to bring also my dog and I would like to have an idea about the process that is required.

Also Do you know if there's any special area (villa apartments, compound villa or apartment, labor camp etc) that is pet friendly? cause i'm about to rent a villa or apartment, but If I want to bring my dgo then the place that i rent should be pet friendly.

i hope you can help me.

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards.

I had this problem. The answer really is to let go of your dog. If you want your dog to have a happier life then you must leave it behind. It really is too much for a dog here but not impossible. Personally, I am glad I didn't bring mine now as he would have suffered and it would have been cruelty. Not the answer you would want but I am sure you will appreciate honesty.
