Importing pets into Singapore is the order of the day nowadays, or so it seems. Well, this is probably because everyone is moving to Singapore. This Asian country is full of opportunities and it has everyone looking in its direction. Moving to Singapore by yourself is easy, but if you want to bring your pet along, then you have to understand the laws that govern animal importation. For instance, there is the mandatory quarantine for dogs entering Singapore.

Every single animal being imported into Singapore has to be kept in seclusion for at least thirty days to monitor its health. This is inconvenient for most people because they have to stay away from their beloved pets for a whole month. However, it is also good because if the pet died as a result of some disease, you would have to be away from them forever. Who wants that? This is why quarantine is very important.

When importing dogs into Singapore,you will have to ensure that they are vaccinated against rabies. This is a very dangerous disease and if you are bitten by a rabid dog, you do not need to be told what is going to happen. This is one of the worst medical conditions, second only to the likes of cancers and viral infections.

During the thirty days of quarantine, your pet is going to adjust to the new environment. If you have fetched it from a nearby country, then there will be little to adjust to. However, if you have brought him/her from Africa, Europe and other faraway lands, there is going to be a great change. Environmental changes tend to affect animals greatly.

Aside from adjusting to the new conditions in a controlled situation, the pet is also going to get medical attention from trained professionals. This is going to be great for the health of your pet as well as reducing your visits to the vet. Even without all these services, it is still compulsory for all dogs entering Singapore to be quarantined, but then the services are available for your taking.
