FROM next month, pet owners from Japan, Hong Kong and Norway will be able to bring their animals into Singapore without having to quarantine them.
They join Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Ireland as the handful of territories that do not need to have pets confined for 30 days in case of rabies.
After a comprehensive review of the quarantine policy, the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) added the three to the list, having found that their animals posed a relatively low risk of rabies.
