Bringing a Pet to Yokosuka

Parting with Wylee is not an option. He's our dog-kid. Unfortunately, they don't make bringing a pet to Japan easy. It costs about $1,000 and your pet is subject to a one month quarantine. Japan has never had rabies and is careful to keep this trend.

Growing up with a Japanese grandmother, I know the Japanese view towards dogs is that they are "icky." However, Japan seems to be adopting a more western view of dogs and it seems to be easier to find off base housing that accepts dogs than it has been in the past.
