Pets to Bring into Moldova

There are no regulations restricting importation of #cats and #dogs. Before arrival, #pet owners should ensure that their pets are properly immunised and that they have immunisation records (primarily rabies vaccine within one year prior to arrival in Moldova) and health certificate records, certified by a public health authority in the sending country. 

The health certificate should have been issued within one week prior to the #animal’s departure (though this is not strictly enforced.) Bring or ship any special needs such as worm medicine or particular #food. Properly documented #animals are cleared quickly through customs. Be sure all pet records are completely up-to-date before arrival. Do not send the pet as unaccompanied baggage, as local airlines may refuse to accept it. There is a small fee at the airport ($2-3 per pet) for veterinary services.

Since local veterinarians do not always have vaccines, make sure your #pet has all needed shots before you come. If you anticipate a need for particular medicines, ship a supply or make arrangements with a veterinarian to send additional supplies. Many local veterinarians are generally very inexpensive and pleasant , but few speak English.

Large geese farms proposed in Moldova/Russia

Moldovan company Senipal-V is planning the construction of a #goose #breeding #farm with 6,000 heads of #geese breeding stock and 22, 000 heads of commercial stock. The new enterprise will produce #meat with a total production capacity of 704 tonnes per year.

According to the preliminary report two complexes will be built. One will be built in the Bryansk region of Russia. “The project will involve the creation of a new modern #poultry #farm for the production of #goose #meat and other foods. The enterprise will use a new waste-free and ecologically friendly technology for growing #geese and accompanying vegetable production with the use of alternative energy resources” the report noted.

The project also includes the creation of a feed mill with the total production capacity of 30 tonnes of feed per day, as well as a facility for the production of canned #meat, pate and foie gras. Also the implementation of the project will provide the construction of a new biological station and greenhouses.

According to the preliminary information the geese farms in Moldova and Russia will be identical both in structure and production characteristics.

The pup that won't grow up! Tiny Chihuahua Milly is the world’s smallest dog !

Meet Milly the #Chihuahua who has just been crowned the world's smallest #dog at just 3.8 inches high.

The micro mutt who lives with her Argentine owners in the north east Puerto Rican town of Vega Alta, was so small when she was born back in December 2011 she had to be fed with an eye dropper and could fit in a teaspoon.

And despite being fed almost entirely on gourmet food, she failed to grow much larger than the size of an ordinary Chihuahua #puppy, now weighing around a pound.

Milly is constantly accompanied by Ms Eizzil or by her owner, Argentinian Vanessa Semler, who is dedicated to rearing chihuahuas in Puerto Rico.

Ms Semler says caring for Milly takes effort, but explains that she and her husband, Edwin Davila, have no children so they have the time to focus their energies on their pet project.

Delighted owner Vanessa Semler said: 'We have to be really careful with Milly because she is too small so she can be easily lost.

'When people see Milly they are really surprised because she is so small but they really love her because she ís so adorable.'
