Hi Green Tech,

Thank you for your reply, I do appreciate it.

Since I left my post I came across the following on Expat Focus that might be useful to some people:

"In order to take a pet into Qatar you must ask your sponsor to obtain an import permit from the Ministry of Agriculture on your behalf. Documentation required will include a copy of the animal's health certification and vaccination record.
Most cats are allowed into the country, but some breeds of dog are prohibited."

Regards,

Mick
