Hi everyone! New here - my husband and I are considering moving to Cambodia in 2 years (likely Siem Reap but possibly Phnom Penh) I was wondering about the feasibility of bringing out Great Dane along. She is the sweetest most affectionate dog. I understand legally the requirements are easy but I am more worried about her actually living in Cambodia and the flights.
How hard is it to find housing with a large dog with a fenced yard? What is the treatment by society towards dogs in general? I have heard horror stories of pets being kidnapped and sold for the meat trade, dogs getting sick from parasites in the water, dogs being bitten by snakes or aggressive feral dogs. I heard there are no parks to walk your dog in. I am just wondering what her quality of life would be like if we brought her over? Is a Western attitude towards dogs developing? Would it be safe for her to live there? I read there are now Western veterinarians which is great! How hard is it to get dog food? Does anyone know of transport companies that will feed and walk your dog on layovers?
Thank you for any insight! I realize that this is all the worst case scenario and I probably sound insane and paranoid but I truly just want what is best for my pup and if that means leaving her here than that may be a decision we have to make and I would rather know that early on in our planning process.
Thanks again!!
