Bringing my dog from the USA to Singapore
Bringing my dog to the US
Hi everyone,
I am relocating to Houston, Texas from Singapore in 2 months' time and would like to bring my dog along with me. Wonder if anyone can offer some advice with regards to the following:
- requirements for bringing a dog into the US
- best relocation company to work with
Please feel free to share your own experiences too.
Thank you and cheers,
Rachel

Hi Rachel,
I was reading up on bringing dogs back to Singapore (Am considering if I should get a dog), and chanced upon your post.
I've just relocated to Houston from Singapore too with my husband a few days ago! He works for Shell. Are you working in Houston?
Based on your post date I assume youve been here slightly longer than us. Any tips on where to stay?
Couldnt send you a PM but hope to hear from you!

Hi K. I, too, will be bring my dog from the US to Singapore (end of Jan) but I thought you might want to know that dogs coming from the US can qualify for a 10 day quarantine. It requires extra shots etc but definitely something you should look into.
Thanks to Poodlek (poster on this board), here is a link to the AVA which details out what you need

I am using World Care Pet (recommended through my ocmpany) and they've been excellent in guiding me through the process. It's definitely a bit overwhelming at first but you just have to work backwards from the time you want your dog to arrive in Singapore.
I agree with the other poster that although this is going to be tough, it's much better than the alternative of not bringing him at all!
Now, I just have to figure out the dog walking/day care situation when i get there. My guy is a bit bigger (~55lbs) so I'm sure this will get interesting. One thing at a time I guess. If anyone has any suggestions on dog walkers/day care ( I think we'll be living in either Newton or River Valley areas), then please PM or reply to this thread.
If I can help anyone with the current process, happy to do that as well.

Re: Bringing my dog from the USA to Singapore
Hello! We are planning to bring our cat from London to Singapore in-cabin. I like to know how was your experience bringing your dog in-cabin with you? Especially so, we are wondering if Singapore AVA allow a soft bag in-cabin? As we have read and got email reply from AVA that they required a IATA approved crate; we have not had a chance to clarify with the AVA if a soft bag is allowed. Hence, I'm just wondering if you have encountered similar issue and what did you do?Yutenji wrote:Hi, agree with the earlier comments. We also brought our dog into Singapore, (twice actually, but that's a different story). It's best to check early since most airlines will restrict to only having one dog in the passenger cabin.
