Bringing Thai Dog To Aussie?

[350torana]

Just a quick question. Our dog(black lab ) is part of our family . From what I understand she would have to spend a long, long time in quarantine in Australia. Anyone give insight into costs and a time frame ? Like I say she is a member of the family...but if qaurantine is too extreme...maybe finding her a new home in Thailand would be better .

There are a couple of companies offering import services. Look for K9centre and pettransporter.

There is no direct importation of dogs from Thailand, as Bambi says, the best way to do it is through Singapore and there would be 30 days quarantine here aftyer Singapore.

Cant help with the Singapore side or the costs

You will have to prove that you've been in a relatioship with this dog. You will need evidence that you supported the dog. Did you feed the dog regularly?

You will also have to prove that your dog isn't a bar dog. Did it sleep around? Or is it faithful. The government takes a dim view of dogs that just sleep around.

Do you have photos? Take them with you. They will probably want to interview the dog too ... in a separate room of course.

Only joking. Expensive exercise ... but well worth it for mans best friend. If the dog is part of your family then you owe it to your dog to spend the money on getting it here. I also believe that you can visit the animal in quarantine.

Cheers

30 days in Singapore is not long but the costs for quarantine in Sg & Aus could be prohibitive. (and air transport)

Good luck and keep us posted.
