The export permit from Qatar and the import permit for the destination. We handle the applications and timing so the permits are valid on your travel dates.
Qatar → UAE · GCC
Relocating your pet from Qatar to the UAE
The GCC route is much faster than Europe — typically an import permit, current vaccinations and a health certificate, without the long rabies-antibody waiting period. Dragon arranges the permit, paperwork, crate and airport handling to Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
What this route needs
Everything except the flight — managed for you.
You book the seat. Dragon handles the permits, tests, documents, crate and airport so your pet is cleared to travel. Requirements change — we confirm the exact, current rules for your travel date.
ISO microchip & identity
An ISO 11784/11785 (15-digit) microchip must identify your pet before its rabies vaccination counts. We check the chip reads correctly first.
Rabies & core vaccinations
A valid rabies vaccination (given after the microchip) plus up-to-date core vaccinations. We schedule and record everything to the destination’s standard.
Health certificate & clearance
A veterinary health certificate issued close to travel, plus any endorsement the destination requires. We prepare it to match the exact template in force at your travel date.
IATA travel crate
An airline-compliant (IATA) crate correctly sized to your pet. We advise the right crate and acclimatise your pet to it before the flight.
Airport handling & transfer
Booking your pet as manifest cargo or excess baggage as the route allows, plus pick-up and drop-off on both ends. You book the flight; we handle the animal side.
Boarding around your dates
Climate-controlled boarding at Dragon before or after travel — so there’s no scramble for care while paperwork, tests or flights line up.
