Bringing your pet from the UK to Qatar
Moving to Doha with a pet? Dragon handles the Qatar side — the import permit, arrival clearance and airport collection — and gives your pet a soft landing with boarding, a vet check and everything under one roof. We coordinate with your UK vet on documents.
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.
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.

Common questions
United Kingdom → Qatar
Do I need a Qatar import permit?
Yes — Qatar requires an import permit and specific documents from origin. We apply for the permit and tell your UK vet exactly what to prepare.
Can Dragon care for my pet right after arrival?
Yes — that’s the advantage of an all-in-one center: airport collection, a vet check, boarding and grooming are all in one place while you settle in.
