Can anyone share with me about moving my dog and cat from Thailand. I saw some people posted their responses that some quarantine is not always necessary. Where can I find out all info about it.
1) I am moving in from Bangkok, Thailand. Believe that they will put my dog in quarantine. Is it one month?
2) How a/b daily routine like dog walking? Do most parks allow dog walking?
3) Is there such thing like " Dog Park" and " Dog Beach" where dogs can get to play off leach?
4) Any thing I should know a/b being a dog owner in Singapore, pls advise.
Thank you in advance.
not sure about quarantine for pets from thailand, but you can try ava.com.sg if that doesn't work, try googling agro veterinary authority singapore. if that still fails, i've got the name wrong.
most parks allow a dog in public provided they are leashed, and if necessary, muzzled (again, for breeds, you gotta look at the AVA website).
there's at least one dog "park" in Bishan, but it's not really a park. it's more like 2 big'ish play pens. however, i've seen many people unleash their dogs in public (legality's not my call).
i don't think there're doggy beaches in singapore, but again, you'll see dogs on the beach as, like the parks, dogs are not prohibited as long as they're leashed and/or muzzled.
bear in mind that most islamic malays in singapore and they tend to recoil from dogs - it's a weird cultural/religious thing that happens in the region because i know many islamic arabs who don't react the same way around dogs.
main point: if they're not chinese-looking asians, keep your dogs away from them. also, not all taxicabs will take dogs, even if they're lapdogs.
some, because they are malay drivers, others, because they worry the dogs will do #1 and/or #2. if you don't want to book a cab and have it made known, then make sure you get a good pet transporter.
a small dog should use a soft-type transporter coz it looks more like a regular bag. if all else fails, pleading and promising the dog won't doo doo will help...
lastly, like doctors, not all vets in singapore are as sensitive and nice as pet-owners would like them to be. so scout around... (this may have been discussed before in this forum - that search engine's at the top)
