Hello to everyone on forum!
we are planning to move to Maleysia-Kota Kinabalu in august.We would like to bring聽 small dog(6kg) with us and I will appreciate any suggestion and advice about all formalities for the permission to import the dog to Maleysia.
If we come by flight directly to Kota Kinabalu (from Hong Kong) is there a quarantine at the airport of Kota Kinabalu, or we have to do all formalities at KL airport?
Thank u in advance for any answer.

Thanks for the answer. My big concern is does the dog have to spend in quarantine in KL first and then in Kota Kinabalu ,as it is our final destination.

Maldivi,
I hope you were able to successfully transport your dog to KL and then on to KK. Please tell me what you had to do and what to avoid.

I haven't gone through the website myself though, let me know if I can be of help.
