I am going Lufthansa from Dallas to Mumbai with a stop at Frankfurt. Got all the documents done except for the NOC. Sending the documents to India today. Hoping it won't take longer as I'm leaving on 29th. A little worried about obtaining the NOC, but I guess it should be fine. Your blog has been a great help! Thanks again! Regards Shamitha Thank you so much Chris!

Its a form the vet filled out 14 days prior to show the dog is healthy and inoculated that's all, you have to submit this to get your NOC here in India. If they give you the NOC you will have all the required docs to import your Pet. the NOC is basically stating they have pre reviewed all the information and they say you have all that's needed to legally import the dog. I would still recommend the Lufthansa flight ex DFW (if they still do that route). Don't do the new Emirates flight, as sometimes the connections from that flight to India are long and its still quite warm there.. plus they don't appear to have any sympathy for handling dogs at Dubai airport I see dogs sitting on the warm tarmac all the time there.

I am travelling to India from Dallas with my 2 year old labrador Aura on Dec 29th. I got all the info required from here but I had a doubt as to what the India sanitary certificate was. It says somewhere in one of your attachments that the certified copy of the APHIS form, the India Sanitary Certificate, the pet’s inoculation record and the no objection certificate create your pet passport for India. I really appreciate all your help. Thank You Shamitha Hi Chris,

I understand and have been told its best to get it from your arrival place, but you dont have to. After all it should be nationwide (I know not always true in India with a central government department!!). Sorry cant offer any other help apart from shopping around and see if someone else can be paid to go and get it for you, try sending some emails to some of the Logistics companies, I am sure you can go get one to be your agent and get the form cheap for you in Delhi. Thats how I originally started my search to get the NOC, just sending emails. You should take your cat in the cabin with you, he/she will be more comfy, just get one of the collapsible containers like we used, as you just push them under the seat for take off and landing and the rest of the time they can be out from under the seat. Plus you can make sure your cat gets some liquids this way during the flight and you can take it into a disabled restroom and let it out for a stretch and pee during your stopover.

If you just want to look and see and wander around that amazing old market you cant as they are always trailing you and pestering you to go into a shop... very annoying . But you cant do much about it except ignore them and keep walking.

Scary isnt it... the other AC's I got installed were done properly. I just couldnt be bothered to go and complain to the manager, just easier to fix it myself.

Now I dont know what their definition of organic is, but its the way the vegetables are packaged and kept that I am amazed at, and they do taste better. The have all kinds of good things now like Zuccini, and Bok Choi and about 5 different types of lettuces. I was told by the guy here in Food Bazaar at New Town that holds veg for me that the big problem is in the suppliers, they dont harvest the night before and dont deliver until a day later, in the meantime the vegetables have sat in the sun or a hot truck. So mainly its seems to be the distribution system here that lets down the poor old farmers.

Will you find banana flowers in supermarkets in USA ? therefore, you have to search a bit in India-Lettuce is not very common or popular in India. Yet, I also agree that markets should not sell stale stuffs. Get Fresh lettuce at Spencer’s South City, and in supermarkets in Gariaht or try the Vegetable section in New Market !
