Moving out of Qatar with your beloved pet can be a challenging process, however, with careful planning and the right information, you can ensure a smooth transition for your furry friend. Abandoning your pet should NEVER be an option. Here is a complete guide to help you take your pet with you when you wave bye for Qatar.

 

Requirements when leaving Qatar with your pet

  • Health certificate: Obtain a health certificate from the government veterinary clinic. Arrive with your pet and its vaccination records at the clinic and make sure your pet is vaccinated against rabies. This health certificate is valid for a period of 7 days.
  • Book the flights: Book your pet’s flight at least 5 days in advance and pay the necessary handling fees. Provide the correct travel carriage/kennel adhering to IATA standards.
  • Pet relocation companies: Pet relocation companies can assist with the export process. They handle paperwork, apply for permits, and manage logistics, making the process less stressful to you.

No law for pet abandonment

Regardless of the legal landscape, it is important that everyone understands and accepts the responsibility that comes with owning a pet!

 

Don’t own a pet just because….

  • You think they are ‘cute’ – The appearance of a pet changes as they age and getting a pet solely for their current cuteness can lead to regret.
  • You feel sorry for them at the pet shop – Do not adopt on impulse emotions. Make sure you are prepared for long-term commitment.
  • You want to surprise someone with a gift – Pets should be considered as family member, and not as a surprise gift or object.
  • You see them as an accessory. – Pets are living breathing beings and no accessories to be discarded when they no longer serve the purpose.

 

Make the effort

Abandoning your pet should never be an option. With proper planning and the right assistance, you can make sure your pet travels with you. Your pet is part of your family and hence one should be proud of their commitment to keeping your family together throughout the relocation process.
