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.

Pre-Travel Veterinary Preparation and Compliance

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.

  • Customs clearance handling
  • Immediate release and onward transport arrangement

This reduces clearance time and prevents extended airport holding.
