Pet Relocation

Relocating your pet internationally involves several steps — health checks, vaccinations, microchipping, export/import permits, crate selection, and flight coordination. Each destination has specific regulations, which must be followed precisely. At ISS Relocations, we manage this entire process for you. Our pet relocation experts ensure full compliance with UAE and international laws, saving you time, stress, and the risk of costly delays or rejections.

Ideally, you should begin planning your pet’s relocation at least 2 to 4 months in advance, especially for destinations with stricter entry rules like Australia or the UK. Certain vaccinations and health tests must be done within a specific timeframe. When you partner with ISS Relocations, we’ll create a customized relocation timeline, help you stay on track with vet appointments and documentation, and ensure everything is ready well before departure day.

Yes, some countries have restrictions on certain dog breeds (like Pit Bulls or Rottweilers), while others have rules around exotic pets, birds, or reptiles. Airlines may also limit pet travel during extreme temperatures or for short-nosed breeds. ISS Relocations helps you navigate all restrictions relevant to your destination. We advise on what’s allowed, manage alternate routing if needed, and ensure your pet’s travel meets all safety and legal requirements.
