Hello, I made a big mistake I think.. My wife who lives in Poland and I bought our Pepper (now 8 mths) and she is in the moment with my wife in Poland, however we obviously planed to bring her over here to Singapore once we finalized our complete move. But now , I got in contact with the Singaporean Health , Animal organisations, and the requirements she will need are horrendous, but what worries me the most is: qte ---- Category D country, your pet will be subjected to 30 days quarantine upon arrival in Singapore. Please be informed that all import conditions and requirements are mandatory and we regret to advise you that there is no exemption/ waiver for this. Briefly, you need to ensure: 2. Vaccinate your pet against rabies more than 6 months before your scheduled date of arrival; 3. Get a blood sample taken for a rabies antibody titre test more than 1 month after the rabies vaccination and within 6 months of export. The antibody titre must be equal to or greater than 0.5IU/ml for the pet to enter Singapore; 5. Take your pet to a vet for internal and external parasite treatment and obtain a health certificate, which must then be endorsed by the Veterinary Authority in the country of export no more than 7 days prior to export. A template of the health certificate is in the attached Veterinary Conditions. ------- unqte I mean apart of the 14 hour flight, the maybe 30 days in Quarantine, clearly should damage a dog, will she be even reconfigure us again? I wonder if it's not better to give her to friends, where i know she will be good- which would break our hearts but, i dont want her to suffer. anyone had to deal with this kind of experience? many thanks philipp
I don't think you should worry too much. When I was a kid, my family travelled and in the days before pet passports, our dogs spent time in quarantine. I'd worry about it a lot more now than my family did then, but the dogs got through it ok. My current boy spent 6 weeks in a specialist kennel after an operation. I was working and couldn't care for him at home. I was desperate to get him back, and he was clearly fed up with kennels, but there were no long term ill effects. He was bored, and at the time showed signs of being bored, under stimulated and distressed at being left, but at the end of it he settled back down in family life with us and returned to normal. Best of luck with your decision making.
