St. Petersburg - 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?
No quarantine is necessary and it is pretty easy to get pets into Russia. The vet care is better than some places in the world, but still not the most advanced. I brought a supply of medications from the States for our dog. Vets make house calls here and the cost is reasonable. If you go to a clinic it is even cheaper, 500 rubles for an office visit. Nail clippings are more than reasonable at 100 rubles (approximately $1.75 - I used to pay $25 back home!). Some people use a local kennel for boarding and there are mixed reviews. People also trade pet-sitting duties with consulate friends. - Apr 2017
No. Just have vaccinations and good bill of health record from your US vet when you come in. - Feb 2016
