Expert Guidance on Pet Relocation and Evacuation from the UAE During Travel Disruptions

As a professional pet relocation company based in Dubai for decades, we specialise in the safe international transport and evacuation of pets from the UAE. During periods of uncertainty or travel disruption, it is important for pet owners to plan ahead and ensure that their pets’ documentation and vaccinations are up to date.

 

Key advice for pet owners includes:

  • Ensure microchipping and vaccinations are current, particularly rabies vaccinations, as these are required for most international travel. If not, ask your vet to vaccinate immediately. Dog – Rabies, DHPPi, Lepto  / Cat – Rabies, PCH.
  • Check with a MOCCAE license professional company what are the destination country import requirements, as some countries require blood tests or waiting periods before pets can enter. UK and Europe do not require titer test, hence, if this is your final destination, please do not approach your vet for it, as this has created a backlog and pet owners required to reach other destinations are now forced to send the blood sample abroad or face a long wait before the results are received.
  • DO not rely on other people experience, each case is different and rules are changing by the hour. MOCCAE licenced companies are kept informed thru the official channels. Do not rely on ChatGPT or similar tool, they have proven incredibly inaccurate with this. Do not use a company that is not MOCCAE licenced, not only the service is offered without the legal compliance but they won’t be up to date with current special concessions received on a government level to facilitate the evacuation of pets from affected countries.
  • Prepare travel crates in advance so pets are familiar with them and comfortable before the journey.
  • Have digital copies of all documents including vaccination records, export permits, and pet passports where applicable.

For families who may need to leave the region quickly, professional pet relocation services can assist with export permits, veterinary compliance, flight bookings for animals, and safe door-to-door transport, ensuring pets travel safely and in accordance with international regulations. At no time, a professional company will compromise on the safety of the animals.

We are also able to provide guidance for pet owners who may be considering relocation, temporary boarding, or assistance with moving their pets abroad during this period.
