Tbilisi - 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?
Vets are okay… YMMV. Kennels and boarding are not great but 1-2 are acceptable. - Aug 2023
Services are available, but lots of friendly street dogs. - Sep 2022
We have a dog at post. Vets are good and you can get a groomer. Import and export can be a pain. - Jun 2020
We used the veterinary clinic at the Agricultural College in Dighomi. There is also a new vet in Vake. Vets are not properly trained in Georgia. The ones at the Agricultural College have had training from the outside, and their techs are very nice. Although their clinic is cleaner than most of the other vets I've been to in Georgia, sterile surgical conditions are not standard there, unfortunately. Still, they took good care of my dog. - Jan 2019
No quarantine for pets, but there is a lot of official Georgian stamps on paperwork, spread between 3 different govt offices that took me all night long to navigate when my dog arrived as cargo. Large dogs have issues getting back out of Georgia. We have found several quality vets here. If you do not have a dog, but would like one, this is a great place to adopt a dog. - May 2016
