We have a Small Silky Terrier and definately want to take him, However we really do not want to leave him with anyone for any length of time. We hear they sometimes will allow dogs to be Quarantined at the owners home. What do you know about The Laws in Dongguan?

I am looking to move to Nanjing China around May '09 and I have a small pet. Under 20 lbs.
What kind of facility is where the pet stays for quarantine? Am I allowed to visit my pet during the 30 days? What happens to my pet if at some point during the stay he has some stomach issues due to being away from me? Will I be notified prior to anything being done to him?

Is it correct that I CAN NOT keep my dog with me during the quarantine period at home?
