What to Know About Bringing Dogs and Cats to Qatar
Qatar Pet Import Rules and Requirements
Are you planning pet transport to Qatar? As you start to prepare, take the time to learn about the pet import requirements and consider hiring professional assistance as your move date approaches.
Bringing pets to Qatar means visiting your vet to obtain the proper vaccines and paperwork, and it's also highly recommended that pet owners take the time to crate train their pets in the weeks before the relocation. Pets who have acclimated to their kennel are much calmer travelers and tend to settle in more easily upon arrival to a new home.
Though possible to carry out safely, shipping pets to Qatar requires careful attention to detail and several weeks of planning. Read on to learn more and contact a PetRelocation Specialist for help if you need it.
