Our Services
Our alpaca relocation services from the UK to Dubai cover every stage of the process. Each service is designed to address a specific need in the international animal transport chain.
Pre-Relocation Assessment and Planning
Relocating alpacas internationally begins long before the journey itself. We start with a complete evaluation of your herd, assessing health records, travel readiness, and UAE import criteria. Our team coordinates with licensed veterinarians to verify vaccinations, testing, and official certifications as required under DEFRA and UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment guidelines.
This planning phase prevents delays and avoids costly mistakes during inspection or customs clearance. By ensuring all paperwork is correct from the outset, we set a clear path for approval and smooth shipment. Our specialists handle every administrative detail so you can focus on managing your animals, not complex export protocols.
Veterinary Coordination and Health Certification
Proper documentation is essential for alpaca relocation from the UK to Dubai. We arrange complete veterinary coordination, working directly with approved practitioners familiar with international animal transport. All medical documentation, including health certificates and vaccination proof, is prepared in accordance with both British and UAE veterinary authorities.
We also coordinate testing schedules to fit export timelines, ensuring compliance without last-minute stress. Our focus on accuracy minimises risk at border inspection points, ensuring that your alpacas meet entry requirements without disruption or extended quarantine.
Transport Crate Design and Animal Comfort Management
Every alpaca has unique needs, and our transport solutions reflect that. We manage the design and preparation of travel crates to accommodate the size, temperament, and comfort of each animal. All crates meet International Air Transport Association (IATA) specifications for live animal shipments, ensuring secure containment and proper ventilation during the flight.
Inside the crate, bedding and hydration arrangements are adjusted to the duration of travel. Our handlers prioritise calm and stability, preventing agitation through careful acclimation and gentle loading. By addressing comfort and safety from the outset, we ensure a journey that respects animal welfare from departure to arrival.
Ground Transport Across the UK
Before departure, alpacas must travel safely to the departure airport. Our team manages ground logistics with licensed livestock transporters who understand the specific care requirements of alpacas. Each vehicle is equipped for temperature control, secure enclosure, and non-slip flooring, ensuring steady footing and comfort throughout the journey.
Timing is meticulously planned to align with flight schedules, preventing unnecessary waiting periods. Our coordination ensures that your animals arrive calm, hydrated, and ready for air transit. Every driver involved in the process is experienced in handling large animals and trained in welfare standards under UK transport law.
Flight Booking and Air Cargo Management
We work with trusted cargo airlines experienced in live animal transport. Flight planning includes route optimisation to minimise total travel time, especially critical for alpaca relocation from the UK to Dubai due to climate differences between the two regions.
We manage all airfreight logistics, including airway bills, customs documentation, and coordination with cargo handlers at both ends. Constant monitoring ensures that loading, transit, and unloading occur smoothly under supervision.
UAE Import Clearance and Quarantine Coordination
Once the alpacas arrive in Dubai, our support continues through import processing and inspection. We manage communication with UAE authorities, including customs officers and quarantine officials, ensuring all import conditions are met.
We oversee quarantine facility arrangements if required, ensuring proper handling, feeding, and acclimation during the inspection period. Our local partners understand the regional climate and animal welfare expectations, helping your alpacas adjust comfortably to their new environment.
Post-Arrival Delivery and Settling Assistance
Once cleared, alpacas are transported directly to their new home in Dubai using approved livestock carriers. Our local handlers maintain consistent care standards during this final leg of the journey. We monitor hydration, temperature, and general condition to ensure they arrive calm and stable.
We also provide guidance on acclimating alpacas to Dubai’s climate, helping you manage hydration, shade access, and routine adjustments during the early days after arrival. This post-arrival support ensures continuity of welfare from start to finish, reflecting our dedication to responsible relocation practices.
Ongoing Advisory and Compliance Support
Even after relocation, compliance and welfare oversight remain important. We provide continued guidance on documentation retention, health checks, and export-import record management. Our advisory service keeps you informed of any regulation changes that may affect future movements, breeding programs, or herd management in the UAE.
This support adds long-term value to your relocation, ensuring that both you and your animals remain compliant with all applicable veterinary and agricultural standards. Whether you are managing a single pair or an entire herd, we maintain open communication for any follow-up requirements.
