I live in Hanam-si and have had an awful time trying to find a place that sells airline approved animal kennels. We need a medium-sized crate for our cat and have been to Dr. Choi's, but he is sold out and we leave on the 21st of this month.

Any help would be great -- I'd love to stay closer to Hanam than further away...so Jamsil/Gangdong/Cheonho, maybe even Gangnam or thereabouts.

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried Dr. Pet in Gangnam (www.dr-pet.co.kr)? They seem to have a lot of (airline approved) crates... Maybe you can give them a call first.

Or otherwise try finding something online.

Also Chungwa Animal Clinic in Itaewon.

I got mine there and they have a good range of sizes. I paid 75,000 for a small (pass medium) one.

mimis- Dr. Pet is where Dr. Choi works! I'm hoping they get another order in soon! Smile

SSA - If Dr. Pet falls through I'll probably try here. Where exactly is the hospital in relation to the subway station?

Bramble - How did you have it ordered? Did it take long for shipping? Cost?

Oh, haha, sorry - I'm always confusing Dr. Choi with the one in Itaewon (Dr. Kwon?)... So, ehh, have you tried that one? Wink

The kennel was 60,000, shipping was 5,000, and I think it only took a day or so once the order was placed ... but they may have had to wait until a certain day before ordering it, and it may be more expensive to send it out to Hanam-si. (I doubt it would be much more, though.)

Okay! This sounds great!

Sorry to ask so many questions, but did you order it online or over the phone? And did you just transfer money from your bank account to theirs? Should I speak to anyone in particular?

You all are a great help. I'm super nervous about bringing a pet with me on an airplane. I worry they'll deny me so I want everything to be perfect!

And Mimi's, no, I haven't tried that one! Smile Where is it located?

I couldn't find a website, but here's a thread from the ARK website: http://www.animalrescuekorea.org/forums/showthread.php?t=334&highlight=kwon

Good luck and I'm sure everything will go well, just be prepared :)

Go to gmarket and subsearch the pet house/carriers sections with ATC
and there you will find airline approved carriers. I believe the brand is IRIS/IBIS???

Anyways I have one. Mine is for a jindo so its a bigger atc-870 model but its perfect for flying. I can't read Korean so when I was first looking into it I checked on AMAZON and searched atc-870 and got all the info there in English and then ordered it off gmarket. It came within 2 days and was exactly like the model I saw on AMAZON. Its specifically for flying with pets.

Hope this helps.
