Hi, could anyone tell me about how to bring my dog into Singapore?

What is the procedure? What are the documents needed and where can i get all those documents? How much and how long is the process?

Appreciated your reply/advise.

Thanks!

As I know, Your pet need a passport as You're bringging it out of Malaysia. Furthermore, you need your pet's health condition [About rabies vaccination etc.] (Check from Vet) before export your dogs to Singapore. You going there by Air? If yes, then check with Msia airline, AirAsia or whatsover about the ticket price and onboard facilities for pet care. And call up to enquire whether Singapore does the Quaritined thingy on pets. And this is what I get from the Malaysia gov web, I think. I tried to help. Haha. See you~

On reply to your question, a pet dog relocated from KL to Kuching, Sarawak need to be held for a minimum 2 (Two) months quarantine.

The actual cost only can be determine after the owner provide us the dogs details such as;

1) Dog Breed.

2) Age.

3) Scan Vaccination Records.

4) Rabies Vaccination.

5) Weights and sizes of the dog.

With all the needed details provided we are able to check with the respective Airlines for the actual rates by the dimension of the crate (Volume Metrics) comparing to the actual weight of the dog + crates.
