Quarantine is used when an animal enters any new country. They are basically in a kennel and made sure that they are free of any illness and if vaccinations are needed then, they are administered. All animals must go through it when going in and out of a foreign country.

Also, animals in the states that are thought to be sick (rabies, parvo, ect.) are put into quarantine.

One of my best friends just moved from USA to Ireland and she didn't have to quarantine her dog (a tibetan terrier). She certainly had to jump through tons of hoops what with shots, and certificates, etc. - and it cost her three times as much to bring her dog to Ireland as it did for her to move there - but no quarantine at all because she researched the whole thing ahead of time and found out what she had to do to prevent a quarantine.

Poor puppy Did she even try to potty train the dog?

Wow, she is really lucky. When I moved to Japan, My cat had a 6 week In-Home quarantine. Which was really nice! I know that when I go back to the US my pets won't have quarantine time because they were in military vet care the whole time. So, I am REALLY happy about that.

well unfortuantely, dogs coming from certain other countries are required by law to be in quarantine for x amount of time before they may go home with their owners.That's exactly what made me reconsider moving to Hawaii. I couldn't put my dogs through the quarantine period. It'd kill me.

my question is ..how old is Twiggy and if she was doing all this while at their last home, why didn't she get a trainer for the yorkie??? Its not like she can't afford a live in trainer!! That is truly uncalled for!!!! They should have a test for pet owners to see if they are qualified before owning one!!!!

The quarentine is probably necesarry.. as for the doggy boot camp.. I'm not a fan of it but I heard that it does wonders.. it all depends on your view of it.. its just another training technique.
