This applies to all animals that are on the move. It is very easy to transfer certain animal diseases if they are not immunized. In the case of dog entering Singapore, you will have to prove that your pet has received the rabies immunization. They are at least two of them. The vet’s reports are going to show this.

Tracking devices and quarantine

There is a small tracking device that is injected under your dog’s skin before you move with it to Singapore.
