I'm a vet in Dubai who deals with pet imports regularly. AMA about moving here with your pet

Disclaimer: Happy to answer general questions about the import process, paperwork, and what to expect. I can't assess your specific pet's health/fitness to travel without an actual exam; that always needs to go through a vet who can see them directly.

I'm a vet based in Dubai, and between my own clients and the clinic I work at, pet relocation questions come up all the time. People move here for work, bring a dog or cat along, and have no idea where to start.

Ask me anything: paperwork timelines, what surprises people most, flight/cargo logistics, quarantine questions- whatever you're curious about before making the move. Full disclosure: the clinic I work at has an in-house relocation team, so I've seen this process up close a lot, but this thread isn't about that; it's just here to help people figure out the moving part.
