*IMPORATING YOUR PET TO ANTIGUA*

Let me start by saying that this process must be started at least 4 months in advance. This importation process has been the most drawn out, stressful process ever! When I say that it is too much to type LOLOL! I mean it is too much to type. LOLOL! From obtaining varies preventative shots, rabies titers, Lyme and Ehrlichia titers, health certificates (plus USDA certification), medication, the cost of flights, flight carrying cases for the pups, this has been very expensive and stressful!! This process has put a $3K dent in my pocket.

After 3 months, I finally received my Import License for my dogs a week ago (thank God)! Again start this process early if you can. If you need more info please send me a message or ask below. I also have posted a link for Antigua import requirements for live animals. These requirements could change so make sure that you contact them directly before starting this process (That is not a current email on the form and I believe that the fax machine is out of service so call 268-460-1759 and ask for Dr. Tubal Edwards, DVM). I had communication issues while trying to work with another person there. This individual was always kind and helpful but Dr. Edwards is the man! :)

    Hi did Antigua charged any other fee than the $50 inspection fee at the airport?

      Hello Coco! Antigua only charged me $50.00 per dog but there are a lot of other costs on the front end that you have to pay. I can’t remeber if I posted about the titer test cost, shots, health certificate cost and the fee to have the health certificate certified... If you need more info I can email it to you. :)

LIFE ON THE ISLAND

Image
Outside the Sandals Resort in Dickerson Bay Well lololol! I must say that life on the Island of Antigua is a lot different than I thought it would be. Not only is it ridiculously expensive... it is not as hot as I thought it would be. From what I hear form the locals and other students is that this is Antigua's winter season so even though its 80 degrees outside it is less humid than the summer months.  Anywho...well I am all moved in and I have 95% of my life back in the states situated. I wish that I could have completed certain things prior to leaving such as my tax stuff and car insurance but oh well...So I thought that the best way to provide you guys with an brief overview of my life on the island is to touch on each topic separately instead of typing a long ass page of info so here goes: Apartment: My view from my living room balcony My view from my bedroom balcony I requested to live off campus because I brought my little doggies with me. My a...

STRESSED!!

As the months go by, my excitement is slowly diminishing and my feelings of nervousness has increased tremendously. There are so may loose ends to tie up before I leave. It is truly starting to become overwhelming. Between moving, obtaining funds to pay for the move, working and making sure that the dogs have everything that they need in order to fly; my life is a wreck! :( As I stated before, this process is very expensive and it is not easy. Guys if you haven't listened to nothing else I've said in the past pppppppppppppplease listen to me now when I say...be sure to explore ALL options before taking the leap of going to medial school out of the country. The only thing that's keeping me excited/sane is my future classmates. Corresponding with them daily through telegram has been not only beneficial information wise (a couple of upper classman are in the group) but also a lot of fun. :) Well let me logoff with my ...
