Kuala Lumpur - 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?

We don't have a pet but it's my understanding that there are decent vets available. Malaysia being a majority Muslim country, many apartments don't allow dogs so if you bring a dog, your housing options may be more limited. - Apr 2025


Yes, but pain to get pets in. - May 2022


We don't have pets, but have several friends that brought pets here. I believe quarantine was required. One friend's cat was in need of significant vet care after coming out of quarantine but is doing okay now. - Apr 2017


I don't know. Most apartments do not permit pets, so that's a consideration. - May 2016


Yes, sometimes. - Aug 2013


Not sure. - May 2009


7 day mandatory quarantine for our cat. The facility was acceptable and you can visit but it is like 45-60 minutes away. - Mar 2009
