Bringing Pet Into Kuwait

• Hi,
  
  I have been offered a position in Kuwait and would like to take my Persian cat with me from Oman.
  
  I would be grateful if anyone could shed some light on this and let me know how long the process could take. I have done some reseach on this and found some things out but would like to hear from anyone who has actually done this.
  
  Thanks.

  Hi Sarah,
  we might be looking at moving to Kuwait and we are also from Canada. Are all dogs from Canada banned or just certain breads? I have two boxers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• Moving cats from New Zealand to Kuwait

  Moving cats from NZ to Kuwait and our experience in July 2009. To export animals from NZ requires an export certificate to be issued by NZ MAF. This certificate can only be issued when the country the animals are going to has an agreement with NZ MAF (called an OMAR) on the technical details the animals must meet. Kuwait has no (or we have not found it) details sufficient for NZ MAF to write the OMAR. So what this means is that you cannot export animals directly to Kuwait from NZ. We then had to select another place in the Middle East as an importer and we selected Bahrain as our destination. This was after researching Dubai (very very expensive import and export fees) and Abu Dhabi, less expensive than Dubai but Bahrain (Dr Nonie) has reasonable fees. This lack of an OMAR between NZ and Kuwait has added about NZD$2000 to the cost of shipping our two cats. Hope this of help to anyone contemplating moving animals to Kuwait from NZ.

• Dr. Nonnie and pets and Kuwait

  I am coming to Kuwait from Istanbul with (if I can sort itall out) one lovely cat named Koi. I will be joining GUST University and am doing my research to find the ins and outs. Just wanted to pop in and say that I have know Dr. Nonnie since 1977 when she neutered my first cat, Habibiti, on our dining room table in Awali, Bahrain. She also provided my family with the most adorable pet poodle that we carried around the world for over 14 years. She is great and if you get a chance tell her Mary says "HI."
  P.S. heve you found a good vet in Kuwait and do you have any advice to share?
