Importing a dog into Dubai?

Salman

I am interested in importing a dog into Dubai.
Most preferably a golden retriever. Can someone please provide some information on how to go about it and the approximate cost of the whole procedure including airline tickets as well
P.s I am planning to import a dog from India

Answer
I can't vouch for the accuracy of this, but it comes from a book called Globe trotting pets, which I got to help me plan travel with my dog. This is information about importing to the UAE (Abu Dhabi, Dubai etc.)

It's likely to be very expensive. His flight costs were about the same as a cheap human ticket price for the same flight.
You have to make sure that the crate is IATA standard. (See the link in sources) or it's likely the dog wont be able to travel.

You will need import permits from the ministry of agriculture and fisheries (Link below - it's annoyingly not working, you'll have to look this up your self) if you aren't traveling with them, and you'll still need prior permission from them even if you are traveling with the pet checked as 'baggage' on the same flight, not shipped as cargo.

You will need a current International Health Certificate to import the dog regardless.

Please, Dog teeth extraction, putting him down or any other immidiate options?

Hi there! I have a dog, and I love him, he lives in my parents' house wher my sister and her kids stays too. My dog is an aggressive one, he snaps at everybody except me, recently, he has bitten one of my nephews who was just visiting. It left 2 deep wounds. I thought neutering him would improve his behavior, but apparently, it did not, or just not yet. I've already bought a book about dog training, but still, I haven't used the whole thing on him yet, I barely have time to do it because I work in the city, and I stay there for the weekdays while spending only the weekends in my parents'. I need and immidiate action for my family's safety, should i consider pulling off his canines rather than putting him down?
Hi sunshine, Ok, just to correct my question, It is my family's dog, I just say it is mine becoz it obviously loves noone but me. I am only talking about the canine teeth not all, just the four sharp ones.. tnx for the answer
Hi everyone, tnx a lot for ur answers, but in the Philippines, putting a dog in a shelter is like killing him. Shelters here are the most dangerous things for them, they let them get sick, w/out proper food and medications, besides the fact he is a mongrel..
Hi liz m, of course i wouldn't do it myself, nobody in his right mind would, i suppose. Tnx fishmom, ur the best!!

Answer
No, don't pull all his teeth. Your family needs to manage the dog to keep the teeth off other people. That means put the dog away when people are visiting. There is no excuse to have children get bitten when adults KNOW that this dog bites. Get a basket muzzle for him, crate him in another room, etc. etc. He should NOT be loose ever around anybody again. Period. He doesn't bite with his testicles, so just neutering him would do no good.

You don't live there, so the responsibility falls to your parents here. They need to manage him to keep his teeth off people, or talk to the vet about euthanasia. It's not responsible to rehome dogs that bite, especially if it has bitten someone badly like this. If your parents want to hire a trainer, here's an option for them (if they don't work with aggressive dogs, they'll be able to refer you):
