Hi! I'm moving to the Puerto Plata around March 2011. I am having problems finding information about what the requirements are to take my dog into the country. He is originally from Mexico, where I lived for 5 years (I adopted him in 2005). My husband and I then came to Italy (I am an Italian citizen) last year with our dog, a black labrador type with rottweiler colors. Of course he has all the needed documentation for the journey from Mexico to Italy: a European micro-chip and a European passport (necessary to export him from Italy), health certificate, rabies vaccination, etc.
I have found various governmental documents on the internet (for example:agricultura.gob.do/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=Mq5TpGxnuVU%3D&tabid=282&mid=798), but they all seem to be describing import of animals for commercial use.
Can anybody who has had this experience enlighten me a little? I don't want to put him in qurantine or anything like as he has abandonment issues...
Thank you very much,
Vanessa
