Pet Passports by RubyMarie

So a year ago we got a dog from Noah's Ark shelter here in Malta. He's 2 years old, has already been microchipped and had a few shots- off the top of my head i'm not sure which ones. We are thinking of moving to the UK (Scotland) and of course will ...

Have you asked the ferry people about a pet cabin. This allows you to take the pet into the cabin with you so it won't have to travel in the cabin area. They are a little more expensive but well worth the cost. The kennel areas are 'not' nice. ... Read More

Be sure to give yourself 6-7 months prior to date of travel in order to be sure. With the rabies, you have to have the jab, wait 30 days, have a blood test and then you can travel 6 months from date of blood test as long as the results clear. If ... Read More

RubyMarie

sorry can't say that i've had any problems at all. Though like Chad said, every ad on there will likely have a phone number so unless you want to create an ad and post it, having an actual account isn't a big deal maybe Read More

Maltasupermarket.com by SunshineLover2011

Hi Guys, Has anyone used maltasupermarket.com ? Its a fairly new site which always makes me sceptical but its seem to b very legit. Also,im thinking should I tip the driver if I get an order delivered ?

RubyMarie

Hi so this question is for the ladies out there..is it hard to get contraceptives here aka the pill? :) I've finally run out of my birth control pills that I brought with from Canada and I have no idea how it works here in Malta to get them. ...

RubyMarie

Yes you are right mgrima68! It is super easy. I walk past a pharmacy in Pieta on my way home from work so I stopped in, told her what I wanted and she gave it to me. No questions asked. I paid €8.50 per sheet (1 sheet = 1 month obviously). That is a ... Read More

Hey all, Bit of a unique one here! I have been contacted by the producers of the great US TV show House Hunters International which follows English speaking expats in their quest to purchase a house abroad, asking if I'd like to be involved. I ...

RubyMarie

I think I've received about 5 of these emails from House Hunters International before...but since we're renting and have not bought a home here- doesn't apply. From what I understand from previous correspondence with them, they are looking for ... Read More
