What are the steps to bring my pet to the UAE?

To bring your pet to the UAE, you'll need to follow several steps, including obtaining an import permit from the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE). Additionally, you'll need a health certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian, and vaccinations are mandatory, including rabies, which should be administered at least 21 days before travel. As someone who relocated to Dubai in 2022 with my dog, I recommend starting this process at least two months in advance to ensure a smooth transition.
