REGULATIONS FOR TAKING A PET DOG OR CAT TO QATAR

Qatar does not quarantine healthy pets who meet the following requirements: Qatar requires that you obtain an Import Permit.

Your pet must be vaccinated for rabies and other diseases at least 30 days but not more than one year prior to travel to Qatar. Have your veterinarian complete the Veterinary Certificate for Qatar stating that your pet is healthy and free of parasites and free of diseases communicable to humans. Although it is not required, we recommend that a USDA or CFIA licensed veterinarian complete the form and you have it endorsed by the USDA or CFIA if traveling from the United States or Canada. A copy of the Rabies Certificate should also be included.

Then submit the veterinary certificate and the vaccination certificate with an application to import a pet to the Ministry of Agriculture in Qatar.

Failure to comply with these regulations will mean that your pet may be refused entry and the relevant authority in consultation with an authorized veterinarian can decide to return the pet home, or place the pet in quarantine at the expense of the owner or natural person responsible for pet, or as a last resort, without financial compensation, put the pet down where the return trip home or quarantine cannot be arranged.

All other pets (birds, invertebrates, tropical fish, reptiles, amphibia, mammals such as rodents and rabbits) are not subject to the regulations in respect of the anti-rabies vaccination but may have to meet other requirements as to a limit on the number of animals and a certificate to accompany them in respect of other diseases. Pet owners are strongly advised to seek further information from the relevant authority of their country and/or that of the country of destination.
