I don't know the ins and outs since I worked with Qatar Pet Relocators to take care of all the paperwork here in Qatar. I'm sure this topic comes up again and again.

I recommend that you contact Qatar Pet Relocators (http://www.qatarpetrelocators.com), The Doha Vets (www.dohavets.com), and/or Qatar's Veterinary Hospital (www.qatarvets.name.qa).

Another thing I want you to think about is the quality of life they'll have here in Qatar. We're lucky that we live in a villa that has a relatively large backyard with grass. Many new housing areas have a very small backyard, if at all. There are places where you can go (ex. Wakrah beach) but you'd have to drive there.

Getting out to move here is a huge step. Good luck with everything.
