We've had to postpone our move but I have done the leg work. Apologies that its so belated but better late then never.

1. You would need to get a health certificate from a vet at suvarnabumi airport 3-7 days prior to your flight. They are located in the Cargo section of the airport. I had heard that the process to get the health certificate can drag on from a few hours to the whole day, so I will be using Dr. Maitee Tangnapit from Ari Pet Hospital to assist me in obtaining the health certificates from the airport as he came recommended partly due to his excellent english. His quote included a pick up from my house and delivery once the certificates were obtained. I had heard that Thonglor pet Hospital have the same service but I don't have any experience with them.

2. As you are all probably already aware, ensure that they all your pet's vaccinations are up to date. Below are the vaccination requirements that I'm aware of and reputable pet agencies in countries that I've been in contact with.

Singapore: Annual F4/F5 vaccination and Rabies vaccination to be at least 6 months prior to import. I got in contact with www.petmovers.com.sg, they're able to assist with all importation requirements for a reasonable fee.

Shanghai: Annual F4/F5 vaccination and Rabies vaccination to be at least 1 month prior to import. SHG also has a mandatory 7 day quarantine for all cats/dogs and they have a one-pet-per-passport policy. I got in contact with www.worldcarepet.com, they were very helpful with loads of information. They are able to assist with export (from Bangkok) and importation requirements.

Australia: Annual F4/F5 and pets need to be a resident of a country such as Singapore or Malaysia for 6 months prior to import to Australia. (There are other countries pets could do their 6 months residency but I'm only aware of these two as they are closest to Thailand) I used www.Jetpets.com.au when we moved out of Melbourne without a glitch, and they are able to assist importation requirements as well.

A pet is a friend for life. Hope this helps. Good luck

Thanks for the heads up :jap:

Thanks! will give them a call :jap:

Hi all,

I'm in search of a cat boarding place that is clean and separates their cat guests. I have heard that Ari pet hospital and Thonglor animal hospital both do boarding. Has anyone had experience with their cat boarding services?

If anyone could recommend a cat boarding place and share their experience I'd really appreciate it

Thanks in advance :jap:

Hi Bina,

Thanks I'll have a search. We're moving to Shanghai. I have the required information for the move from a pet travel agent but I'm at a loss at finding a vet that is government approved for their relevant health checks and certificates.

Thanks

Hello all,

I'm in search for a government approved Vet in Bangkok. I need health certificates and rabies shots for my cats as we are moving out of Thailand.

If anyone knows of a vet and can provide experiences/details, would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

Hi all

We just moved to Bangkok with our two cats and are now scoping out good Vets as I have heard to be weary of any ol' vet clinic around the corner.

Having skimmed through this topic, there are a few recommendations for two main vet hospitals in Bangkok. Thonglor Animal Hospital and Ari Pet Hospital.

Out of the two, could anyone recommend a good vet that speaks excellent English? if you could share your experience I would much appreciate it.

I have heard Ari Pet Hospital do house calls? Is this true? if so, does anyone know the name of the vet? and how is their English?

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

Does anyone know if I'm able to get pet supplies around Siam Square area? If so, could you point me in the right direction. I haven't got a car so it needs to be within walking distance.

Thanks a bunch

I don't know about these two specific brands, but the best choice of cat food and goods I've found so far in Bkk is at the pet shop on Sukhumvit soi 33/1, in front of the Fuji supermarket.

Normally I'd have told you to try the malls at Paragon and Centralworld too, but that's not really an option right now.

Thanks for that

Hi,

Does anyone know where (central Bangkok area) I would be able to purchase 'Wellness' pet food made by a company called 'Old Mother Hubbard'? Or 'Evo' pet food made by a company called Natura Pet Product?

Thanks

Hi ad61,

thanks for the help, I'll shoot them an email.

Hi all,

We're moving to Bangkok mid this year and we need a temporary accommodation solution for the first month or so. We are looking for a serviced apartment that is about 50,000THB and around Sukhumvit/Silom/Sathorn area that is pet (2 cats) friendly, preferably with a balcony. Can anyone recommend?

Cheers

Hi all,

We're moving to Bangkok in a few months and we're bringing our cats with us. Our male cat, Clyde, is on 'Hill's Prescription Science Diet Z/D' because of his allergies. Does anyone know where they might stock this close to Siam Paragon area? thanks heaps.

cheers

Hi Sally,

Thanks for the recommendation- we will most definitely give him a ring once we settle in. I suppose you get what you pay for... I don't mind Cadillac prices so long as its Cadillac knowledge and service I"m getting.

cheers,

Hello

Our cat has allergies that causes him to scratch areas of his face and back- basically anywhere where his claws can reach! At the moment it is controlled through steroids as he only really needs it during the warmer months. We're moving from Australia to Bangkok mid this year and as you can imagine its causing us to worry a bit as we don't want to feed him steroids all year round because it causes long term hormone damage. We have heard of Immunotherapy but unsure if this treatment is available in BKK. Does anyone know?

I have heard that Chulalongkorn, kasetsart and mahidol animal hospitals are quite good but I'm unsure as to whether they have a specialist animal dermatology department or if they speak english... Can anyone shed some light on this?

Has anyone had experience and/or know of and/or recommend an Veterinary dermatologist?

Cheers
