At over 18 years old, Bella spent six months in Dubai before joining her family in Melbourne. Her stay coincided with conflict in the Middle East. Sujith cared for her in his own home, while Pet Express coordinated her veterinary requirements, permits and onward travel. Regular messages and videos kept her family close throughout.
“The confidence in Sujith and his team was such that despite what was taking place in the region, my family and I were almost never worried about Bella’s well-being.”

There isn’t one useful price for every relocation. The route, pet and travel requirements change what needs to be arranged.
Larger pets generally require larger travel crates and more transport space.
Entry requirements and arrival procedures vary between countries.
Available routing and travel arrangements affect the plan.
Size and specification can affect preparation and transport cost.
Possible arrangements depend on the airline, route, pet and individual circumstances.

CHECK MY PET’S ROUTE ↗A missing or mismatched detail can mean check-in stops, clearance is delayed, or your pet cannot be released until the issue is corrected.
Microchip records, vaccinations, permits and travel documents need to match the requirements for the exact move.
Carrier requirements, routing and document validity can differ — and some steps have to happen in the correct sequence.
Import checks, clearance and destination requirements still need to line up before the pet can be released.
That’s what you’re paying us for. Not forms. Fewer unknowns, less chasing, and one experienced team accountable for the move.

It depends on your pet, destination, route, travel crate and travel arrangement. We assess the route before quoting.
Start once you know the likely destination and travel window. Timing depends on the destination, your pet and current documentation.
That depends on the route, airline, pet type, breed, size and current requirements. A travel method should not be promised before review.
Ask your vet about your pet’s individual needs before considering medication for travel, and check the airline’s requirements. Read IATA’s pet travel guidance ↗
Pet Express coordinates the airport stages of the agreed relocation. Handling, handover and updates depend on your airport, airline and route.
Pet Express handles animals travelling internationally. We bring that same handling experience to everyday grooming in Dubai.
Ask us which treatments suit your pet’s coat and grooming needs.

Country requirements change. Our route guides will show when information was last reviewed and link to the authority behind important requirements.
