Our Services
Relocating a cat from the UK to Dubai requires coordinated execution across compliance, logistics, and animal welfare. Each service is built to eliminate failure points and maintain full control.
Pre-Travel Veterinary Preparation and Compliance
Incorrect vaccination timing is a leading cause of relocation failure. We coordinate microchipping, rabies vaccination, and core feline immunisations to meet UAE entry requirements.
- ISO-compliant microchip verification before vaccinations
- Rabies vaccination scheduled within the approved travel window
- Internal and external parasite treatments aligned with travel dates
- Full veterinary record audit before sbmission
- Coordination with approved UK veterinarians in London, Surrey, and Manchester
This reduces last-minute rework, avoids rejected documentation, and ensures your cat is cleared for export without delays.
UAE Import Permit Processing and Approval
Import permits must match the exact travel and pet details. Even minor discrepancies can lead to entry refusal.
- Full application submission to the UAE authorities
- Verification of owner details, passport data, and pet records
- Alignment of permit validity with flight schedules
- Pre-departure compliance checks to avoid expiry issues
This keeps your relocation timeline intact and avoids unexpected holding or rebooking costs.
Export Health Certificate Coordination in the UK
The Export Health Certificate must be issued within a strict timeframe before departure.
- Appointment scheduling with Official Veterinarians
- Document preparation for Animal Health Authority endorsement
- Timing control to meet the 7 to 10-day export window
- Cross-checking against UAE import requirements
This ensures clearance at both UK departure points, such as Heathrow and Manchester Airport, and Dubai arrival checkpoints.
Airline Cargo Booking and Flight Management
Airlines impose strict rules on pet transport, particularly for routes into Dubai.
- Booking with approved carriers operating from London Heathrow, Gatwick, and Manchester
- Route planning to avoid temperature embargo risks
- Coordination with airline live animal handling teams
- Real-time monitoring of flight schedules and contingencies
This reduces denied boarding risks and keeps your relocation on schedule.
IATA-Compliant Travel Crate Setup
Airline approval depends heavily on crate compliance and sizing accuracy.
- Crate sizing based on breed, weight, and airline requirements
- Ventilation and safety configuration to meet IATA standards
- Labelling and documentation attachment for cargo handling
- Pre-travel crate familiarisation guidance
This prevents airport rejection and ensures your cat travels safely under approved conditions.
Door-to-Door Cat Relocation UK to Dubai
Fragmented handling increases risk. We manage the full journey from your residence to final delivery.
- Collection from high-value UK locations, including Kensington, Chelsea, and Canary Wharf
- Secure transport to the departure airport
- Coordination with Dubai handlers for final delivery
- Continuous oversight across all transfer points
This removes handover risks and maintains full accountability throughout the relocation.
Dubai Airport Clearance and Entry Handling
Arrival delays often occur due to document mismatches or missing approvals.
- Pre-arrival document validation
- Coordination with Dubai airport veterinary inspection teams
- Customs clearance handling
- Immediate release and onward transport arrangement
This reduces clearance time and prevents extended airport holding.
Post-Arrival Registration and Compliance in Dubai
Pet ownership in Dubai requires formal registration within a defined period.
- Guidance on Dubai Municipality registration requirements
- Documentation support for compliance submission
- Timeline tracking to avoid penalties
- Advisory on ongoing pet ownership regulations
This ensures your cat remains fully compliant after arrival.
