Pit Bulls take the #1 spot on The Department of Agriculture's banned and prohibited list of imported dogs to The Bahamas. I wonder how so many Pit Bulls came to be in The Bahamas?
The Department of Agriculture requires an exhaustive amount of paperwork each time I leave the Island and travel with my pet. This includes Health Certificates, current records of immunizations and microchip information.The latest requirement by our new administration is a pet photo must be provided to be kept on file with the Agriculture Deparatment. All these requirements must be met along with a fee before a Permit is issued.
Additionally, the Dept. of Agriculture requires another Health Certificate indicating that my pet was seen by a Vet 24 hours prior to returning to the Island and another check up within 48 hours upon arrival by a Bahamian vet.
While this is time consuming and costly, it is done in order to ensure that banned and prohibited pets do not gain entry as well as knowing the animal being brought to The Bahamas is healthy, free of disease and not a danger to others.
Pet owners, please do your part and keep your animals healthy and secure them in an enclosed area so they do no harm!

I hope the generosity of Royal Caribbean's food donation reaches the shores of Abaco. Our Island faces food scarcity on a daily basis.
