Just on the subject of bringing your dogs in, I brought my dog from the UK last year without much hassle. The only thing that I would recommend from my own experience is that, after your dogs have landed at the airport, you are at the mercy of the customs men here. If you are not an arabic speaker I would advise you to use the Doha Vets "meet and greet" service. They will either meet you at the airport and clear your dogs through customs (can be complicated, when mine came they had lost the paperwork en route), or they will collect, clear and deliver your pet. The guy who does this is an arabic speaker and well known to the airport staff. I'm not sure how we would have managed without him. I can't remember how much it costs but it was worth every penny or should I say riyal! The customs men were very nice, but didn't speak English. Welcome to QL, I hope that you are finding it helpful. If you need any help when you arrive there are lots of us who will help you, keep in touch.
