Greetings, DR1. I'm moving to the Dominica Republic with my wife, kid, and 2 dogs in August... had a few quick questions:
1) We're importing pets... I'm familiar with all the health restrictions, certifications, vaccinations, etc. (spoke with the Dominican Embassy here) What I'm not too certain of is the ease of shipping said pets. Seems a lot of the US carriers have temperature restrictions (i.e. 45-85 deg. F). Question: isn't it almost always at or above 85 in SD in August? Anyone with exp. importing pets from the East Coast or South of the US in the summer months? Suggestions?
2) We have a Toyota FJ Cruiser we're importing... already been in touch with the taller (Delta Comercial) in SD about the possibility of getting service there. Any suggestions as to what we should bring from the States w/r/t spare parts? I'm going to go ahead and assume that parts aren't cheap in the DR. I was thinking brake pads, tires, oil filters, wipers, etc. Anything else?
Thanks in advance... looking forward to spending the next few years in the Dominican Republic.
