START WITH THE ROUTE

Where is your pet going?

One pet or several, start with the route. An approximate date — or “Not sure yet” — is enough.

Are you leaving Dubai or moving here?

03 / TIMING

Short on time?

Moving sooner than expected? Start with your travel date. Some routes can still be organised quickly. Others have requirements that cannot legitimately be compressed.

COST

What determines the cost of pet relocation?

There isn’t one useful price for every relocation. The route, pet and travel requirements change what needs to be arranged.

01

Pet + size

Larger pets generally require larger travel crates and more transport space.

02

Destination

Entry requirements and arrival procedures vary between countries.

03

Route + airline

Available routing and travel arrangements affect the plan.

04

Travel crate

Size and specification can affect preparation and transport cost.

05

How your pet travels

Possible arrangements depend on the airline, route, pet and individual circumstances.

DO I REALLY NEED A PET RELOCATION COMPANY?

You can do it yourself. The risk is finding out too late what you missed.

A missing or mismatched detail can mean check-in stops, clearance is delayed, or your pet cannot be released until the issue is corrected.

01 / PAPERWORK

One detail can stop the process.

Microchip records, vaccinations, permits and travel documents need to match the requirements for the exact move.

02 / AIRLINE + TIMING

Country approval doesn't automatically mean airline approval.

Carrier requirements, routing and document validity can differ — and some steps have to happen in the correct sequence.

03 / ARRIVAL + CLEARANCE

Getting on the flight is only half the job.

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.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Before you begin.

01How much does pet relocation from Dubai cost?

It depends on your pet, destination, route, travel crate and travel arrangement. We assess the route before quoting.

02How early should I start?

Start once you know the likely destination and travel window. Timing depends on the destination, your pet and current documentation.

03Can my pet travel in the cabin or do they need to travel as cargo?

That depends on the route, airline, pet type, breed, size and current requirements. A travel method should not be promised before review.

04Should my pet be sedated for the flight?

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 ↗

05What happens to my pet at the airport?

Pet Express coordinates the airport stages of the agreed relocation. Handling, handover and updates depend on your airport, airline and route.
