Astana - Post Report Question and Answers

Are qualified veterinarians and/or good kennel services available? Do animals need to be quarantined upon entry to the country? Are there other considerations regarding pets that are particular to this country?

Many people brought pets. There were a few vets for dogs and cats and a few places for kenneling (although this seemed to work better for small animals). There are a few pet stores but most people shipped food and supplies in via DPO. No quarantine. There are occasional stray dogs. - Mar 2025


Not a dog-friendly place unless you live out in the country side or have a large home and yard with a high fence. I wouldn’t want to have a dog here. Cats are probably fine. Dogs are just not part of the culture in the city. - Jun 2021


Yes and yes, so we've heard. - Jun 2014


No. - Sep 2010
