Karachi - Post Report Question and Answers

Are qualified veterinarians and/or good kennel services available? Do animals need to be quarantined upon entry to the country? Are there other considerations regarding pets that are particular to this country?

USG employees are not permitted to bring dogs to Karachi. Cats are permitted, but very few people actually bring their pet to post. Again, due to the current security situation, an evacuation is always imminent. Pets cannot travel with the USG employee when he/she is evacuated. - Aug 2015


Dogs are not allowed at the U.S. Consulate, and cats only under certain strict and limited conditions can reside on the compound. I don't see many people here in Karachi with pets. - Jun 2014
