Kuwait to ban commercial import of dogs and cats — what it means for pet owners and neighbours

Kuwait has banned commercial dog and cat imports to combat a growing stray animal population. This move aims to curb uncontrolled breeding and abandonment, with a strict exemption allowing citizens to import one pet annually for personal use. Authorities are also establishing a large shelter and implementing capture, sterilization, and adoption programs.
