What About Pets?

There are agents and companies who can help you get your pets here. Please ensure you check all the quarantine restrictions both in your current home and here.

“If anyone is shipping a dog I used ‘Passports for Pets’ who were great but expensive.”

“The Korean agent we used for the dog was gina@thefirstclasspet.com. I highly recommend these people - they were very helpful and the communication was very good.”

It may be a two stage and two company process….

Often the pets need to be flown to Seoul first - then on to Jeju. Depending on time of year there are restrictions as to when you can have an animal in the cabin or hold.

Remember, animals have to be grounded for a certain number of hours before the second flight.

There are vets both nearby and in the city and there are specialist pet shops, but these can be expensive.

You can buy most of the basics from shops in the GEC, including convenience stores, and you can buy everything from the big supermarkets, but the cheapest food, litter and accessories are available from Coupang.

Facebook will help you find sitters and lots of people who have pets here.

If you do want to become a pet owner then there are animal shelters who will be delighted to meet you.
