Pet Relocation From Dubai — Safe, Compliant, and Stress-Free for Your Animal

Moving abroad with a pet from Dubai involves government veterinary certificates, country-specific import permits, airline-approved travel crates, and destination quarantine requirements that vary by species, breed, and country. Getting any of these wrong can mean your pet is refused boarding, detained at the destination, or forced into quarantine that could have been avoided. Fusion Relocations manages the entire process — from Dubai veterinary paperwork to destination clearance — so nothing is left to chance.

Pet Relocation Done Properly — Every Document, Every Requirement

Pet relocation from Dubai is one of the most document-intensive aspects of any international move. The UAE has specific export requirements for pets. Every destination country has its own import rules — covering vaccinations, microchipping, blood titre tests, health certificates, import permits, and in many cases mandatory quarantine periods. These requirements change regularly and vary by species and breed.

Fusion Relocations has been managing pet relocations from Dubai since 2010. We work with accredited veterinary partners in Dubai and licensed destination agents in 60+ countries to ensure every requirement is met before your pet travels. We handle the entire documentary chain — from Dubai MOCCAE export certificates to destination customs clearance — under one managed service.

We are members of the International Pet and Animal Transportation Association (IPATA) — the global standard for professional pet relocation — and use only IATA-compliant travel crates for all animal transport.

How Pet Relocation Works

A Managed Process — Start to Finish

Pet relocation from Dubai requires careful planning — many destinations require documentation prepared months in advance. We manage the entire timeline so nothing is missed.

01 Initial Consultation

We confirm the import requirements for your destination country, species, and breed — including any breed restrictions, quarantine obligations, and the timeline required to complete all health documentation before your travel date.

02 Veterinary Preparation

Working with our accredited veterinary partners in Dubai, we coordinate all required health procedures — microchip verification, vaccinations, blood titre tests, and the UAE MOCCAE export health certificate — to the exact specifications of your destination country.

03 Import Permits & Airline Booking

Where required, we submit destination import permit applications on your behalf. We book your pet on the same flight as you — or on a direct approved route — using only IATA-compliant travel crates sized correctly for your animal.

04 Pre-Travel Health Check

Within the required window before travel (typically 5–10 days depending on the destination), your pet undergoes a final health examination and the official export health certificate is endorsed by a MOCCAE-approved veterinarian.

05 Travel Day & Airport Handling

We manage collection from your address, delivery to the airport cargo or passenger terminal, and all check-in documentation. For pets travelling as manifest cargo, our team handles the entire airport process on your behalf.

06 Destination Clearance & Delivery

Our destination partner agent meets your pet on arrival, manages customs and import clearance, and delivers your pet to your new address — or to a licensed boarding facility if your accommodation is not yet ready.

Why Choose Fusion for Pet Relocation

The Measurable Difference

A mistake in pet documentation does not just cause inconvenience — it can mean your pet is refused travel, quarantined on arrival, or denied entry entirely. Here is why families trust Fusion to get it right.

Documentation Specialists

Pet import rules change regularly. We confirm the exact, current requirements for your destination at the time of booking — not from a generic checklist. Every document is prepared, checked, and tracked by our team.

Timeline Managed for You

Some destinations require blood titre tests 6 months before travel. Others need permits applied for weeks in advance. We build and manage your timeline from the start so no deadline is missed.

IPATA-Member Agent Network

Our destination partner agents are IPATA members — meaning your pet is met by a qualified professional on arrival, not an ad-hoc local contact. Consistent standards at both ends of the journey.

IATA-Compliant Crates Supplied

We supply correctly sized IATA-compliant travel crates for your pet — not left to you to source. The right crate is a legal requirement on most airlines and affects your pet’s safety and comfort.

All Species Handled

Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, exotic animals, and horses — we manage the specific requirements for each species, including CITES permits for restricted animals and equine health protocols.

“Fusion managed every single document for our two dogs’ move to the UK. They told us exactly what to do and when — blood tests, vet appointments, the lot. Both dogs arrived without any issues at Heathrow. We couldn’t have done it without them.”

Pet Relocation — Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know

Common questions about moving pets from Dubai. For a free consultation about your specific pet and destination, contact our team directly.

This depends entirely on the destination. Australia and New Zealand require a rabies blood titre test at least 180 days before travel — so planning must begin at least 6 months before your move date. The UK requires 21 days after a rabies vaccine if your pet has never been vaccinated. Other countries have shorter lead times. Contact us as early as possible — the sooner we confirm your destination requirements, the more options you have.
Yes, but this requires careful management. Many airlines have restrictions or outright bans on brachycephalic breeds due to respiratory risks during air travel. We identify compliant airlines for your route, confirm acceptance of your specific breed, and advise on any additional veterinary requirements. Some destinations may also have breed-specific restrictions independent of airline rules.
The core requirements for most destinations include: microchip, up-to-date vaccinations (rabies is almost always required), a UAE MOCCAE export health certificate, and an IATA-compliant travel crate. Many destinations additionally require: a rabies blood titre test, a destination import permit, and a final health check within a specified window before travel. We confirm the exact requirements for your destination at the time of booking.
Quarantine requirements vary significantly by destination. Australia and New Zealand have mandatory quarantine periods for all incoming pets. The UK does not require quarantine if documentation requirements are fully met in advance. Many EU countries, Canada, and the USA do not require quarantine for dogs and cats if requirements are met. We confirm quarantine obligations for your specific destination and help you meet the conditions to avoid it where possible.
Yes. We manage the relocation of birds, reptiles, and other exotic species — including those subject to CITES regulations. CITES-listed species require export and import permits that must be obtained in advance. Contact us with your species details and destination and we will confirm whether relocation is possible and what is required.
Yes. Pet relocation is available as a standalone service — you do not need to be moving your household with Fusion. Many clients use our pet relocation service independently when moving with another company, or when their household goods have already been shipped and they need to arrange their pet separately.
This is extremely rare when the process is managed properly — which is why professional management matters. In the unlikely event of a documentation issue, our destination partner agent is on-site to manage the situation. We carry professional indemnity insurance and our team is available 24 hours during travel days to respond to any issues.

Moving your household at the same time as your pet? Our International Moving service and pet relocation can be managed together under one coordinator — simplifying the entire process.
