Hi everyone!
I will be more than thankful if anyone can share with me experience of bringing dog to kk. We are travelling in the end of february 2015 .
Our route is Seychelles- dubai( or abu dhabi)-kl-kk.
1)is it possible for my pet to fly with us direct to kk??
2) what airlines can bring pets to kk
3)does malaysia requires blood test or just rabies vacine?
I made my research, but all info is confusing , I really need to hear from people, who experience bringing a pet to malaysia .
thank you !

Hi there !
This forum is not very active😁 , and just want to answer myself to my my previous questions , hope it will help someone in the future.
I broght my dog from Africa Seychelles  to KK .
1) any city   in malaysia , your dog might go through  transit in KL
2)no direct flights so far ( from asian countries) will bring your beloved  pets direct to kk . It is a muslim country and low cost airlines do not allow pets , so you have to use manifest cargo , which normally only big airlines  have.
3)blood test was not required in my case , as my departure country was rabbies free .
I did rabies shot though. 
P.S . try to prepare your documents yourself . Agent is easier way , but it is possible to do it yourself . Just compare the cost Rm 400 or Rm 3000, this is the difference between mine  expenses  and agents asking price for transfering pets within Malaysia   and paying for vaccination only.
