just brought my cat from the UK. Lots of paperwork.
I first spoke to my vet, then DEFRA (UK government body to do with welfare of animals) who advised me what do to on the UK side - I would have thought there would be a similar equivalent in the US.
Used a Uk Export company for the UK side - again would have thought there will be a US equivalent.
Then used qatarpetrelocators (google it, it should come up). They are pricey, but do everything at the qatar end.
All my cat needed was a rabies jab - but must be 30 DAYS!! before travel, will assume the same for the US but I would check if they need other things (Uk usually needs less for animals bound for export, due to being an island nation and the absence of a lot of diseases, so definitely would check what US needs). Qatarpets will tell you what you need, just give them a call, if you need number let me know and I will dig it out.
sorry for mis spelling, quite tired and could not be bothered to spellcheck. Hope all goes well. If you have any other questions let me know.
