What do I need to bring my pet to UAE as a newcomer?

To bring your pet to the UAE, you need to prepare several documents including a health certificate issued within 7 days of travel and a rabies vaccination certificate (valid for at least 21 days). As someone who moved to Dubai in 2022, I recommend contacting the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) for the latest regulations and guidelines. Pro tip: Ensure your pet's microchip is ISO 11784/11785 compliant to avoid any issues upon arrival!
