PET TRANSPORTATION TO UAE

With a diverse migrant population and explosive growth, Dubai is an international hub. With so many people migrating into the country, it is only natural they would want to carry their pet with them. Before doing so though, it is important to know the rules and regulations pertaining to such a move. Here’s what you’ll need to take your pet with you to Dubai/the U.A.E.



  • DOGS
  • CATS

Basic vaccinations


Your pet will also require these basic vaccinations to be administered before entering Dubai:

  • Canine Distemper

  • Parvovirus

  • Hepatitis

  • Leptospirosis

Rabies Titer Testing for Overseas Travel

A rabies titer test is performed to check if your pet’s rabies vaccination has been successful. A titer test measures the level of antibodies in the submitted blood sample. The level of antibodies present in the sample must be at least 0.5 IU/ml for your pet to travel to Dubai. The sample for the test should only be taken a minimum 3 weeks/21 days after their vaccination. This sample should be tested at least 3-12 months before the date of departure.

Import Paperwork

To enter Dubai from a foreign country, you will need an import permit. This permit is valid for 30 days. You will also need an international health certificate and a U.A.E veterinary health certificate. These must be attested by the relevant authorities in the country of origin. Your pet can only travel to Dubai as a part of the manifest cargo.

Banned Breeds in Dubai

Dubai has legislation in place for the import of breeds considered to be strong or dangerous. The following dog breeds are banned in Dubai and cannot be imported to the country: American Bully, American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Argentinian Mastiff (Dogo Argentino), Brazilian Mastiff (Fila Brasileiro), Doberman Pinscher, Japanese Tosa, Presa Canario, Rottweiler, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Wolf hybrids, hybrids of one or more of any of these breeds.
