Hi all!

When you read many posts on the forum you soon realize that Dogs are normally treated bad by most Cypriots. At least as we see it. And it is probably in the culture as in many other countries.

My question is. How is it to have a dog in Cyprus as an expat. I assume that most of expats are very mobile and often go and visit their home countries. What then with the dog? Is there any place like a dog pension that can be trusted?.

my neighbours love my dog (a 5 yo pinscher - medium size), but walking him everyday is very hard, since there is no place where you are actually allowed to take him. parks do not allow dogs, so if you want to take him for a walk, keeping him in leash by your side is the only solution. even on empty plots in town you cannot let him run free for couple of minutes, people passing by tens of meters will sometime let you know they will call the police, because he is free and dangerous (my dog is 30 cm tall, 10 kg, and very very friendly). and the worst part is that i live in an apartment. luckily, i have one neighbour that allows me to take the dog in his yard, and let him run free at least once a day

Hi paul,
Can I ask did you move your dog from the uk? I'm moving over there in jan hopefully if all goes to plan, and I have 3 pugs that i want to take with me, do you have any info of transporting them over with us and cost's? and is there a cypriot kennel club?
thanks

actually, i am romanian, and i got the dog from cyprus. but i travel 2 times every year to romania, without problems, using blue air, at the cost of 150 euros(roundtrip). the only condition is that the dog to have all the vaccins up to date, and a valid passport. kennel club must be, but i am just not familiar with them. i have no car, so i cannot take him to much outside the 1 km area around my building, especially in summer.
