We are interested in moving temporarily (year - two years) to Riyadh but we have a cat and a golden retriever so would want them to come with us.聽 From doing some quick googling it doesn't seem likely but wanted to check if anyone had any work arounds.

Thanks

I have no experience of it myself but a work colleague in Jeddah borough over 2 dogs from North America just last year. I think it鈥檚 a fairly expensive undertaking but certainly possible to do.
