What do I need to know about bringing my pet to the UAE?

To bring your pet to the UAE, you'll need to ensure they have a microchip, a rabies vaccination, and a veterinary health certificate. The process can take a few weeks, so start early! In my experience moving to Dubai in 2022 with my dog, it was essential to have all documents ready for the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) approval. Pro tip: Check with your airline for specific pet travel regulations as they can vary!
