Doha - animals
My partner and I are planning on moving to Doha at the end of July, but would like to bring our dog and three cats.
Could anyone let me know if they've done this and any probs they had?
Do other people have pets out there? Do the locals like/dislike dogs? Are dogs allowed on beaches etc?
Thanks.

Re: Doha - animals
Our Dubai pet-relocation won't directly apply to you, as there are likely different policies in place in Doha. However, I'm sure the attitude towards animals is similar, ranging from uncaring to callous... with the exception of a few expats.
No matter how much hassle it was to get our pet here, we'd do it again in an instant. If there is a Doha Consulate where you live - this is where you should start your research. Or, if you have a ministry of agriculture, ask there as well. "Facts" will differ, depending on who you ask and which way the wind is blowing.
You should begin this process a couple months before moving, as it tends to be slow and painful.
