I recently was told I am being reassigned to Saudi. I want to bring my pet along, but from what I read the only types of dogs that can come are for hunting, gaurding or a seeing eye dog. I will be on a 5 year multi entry business visa, but will reside in Riyadh at one of the expat compounds. Can anyone provide me some info regarding bringing my pet? I already know about the vaccines, chip, passport, etc.. I need to know if I will be allowed to bring her. Thanks, Gary
