I've gone over the paperwork requirements (shots, scheduling with the airlines, etc, etc, etc) but had a question for people who have brought dogs into the country.
What was your airport experience like when you brought them in?
The reason I ask is, I was talking to a friend and apparently he had a real bad time getting his dog in the country. Here's what he had to say in an e-mail:
" It's gonna cost a fortune to bring them. We brought ours and once we grabbed her at the airport, the Kuwaitis took her from us and said she had to be routed through cargo because she's "big". 5 hours and 500 later we finally got her."
I'd really like to know if that is normal, or if my friend was just having a real bad day. If this is not normal, I'd love it if someone could point me in a direction (regulations, etc) that would help me avoid such a scenario should I run in to the same thing when I arrive.
Thanks in advance guys!
