International pet relocation

International Pet Relocation, Wherever Your Pet Is Going

Moving a pet to another country is a big move for the whole family. There are flights to plan, veterinary requirements to understand, documents to prepare and a lot of small details that need to come together at the right time.

Global Pet Cab helps you plan and coordinate your pet's international journey, from the first route discussion and travel preparation to airport arrangements and arrival support.

Tell Us Where Your Pet Is Going

Every pet relocation is different. Your starting point, destination, pet, travel date and travel requirements all affect the journey. Share the basics with us and our team can understand what you need before preparing your relocation quote.

Full-journey care

More Than Getting Your Pet on a Flight

A successful pet relocation is about much more than booking a ticket. The right preparation starts well before departure and can continue until your pet reaches their new home.

We help bring the moving parts together around your route, so you have a clearer idea of what needs to happen, when it needs to happen and where our team can support you.

Route & Travel Planning

We look at your origin, destination and travel plans to understand the practical requirements of the journey.

Veterinary Preparation

Support around the veterinary checks, vaccinations, tests and health documents required for your route, where applicable.

Travel Crate Preparation

Guidance on the right travel crate and preparation for your pet's journey, based on airline and route requirements.

Export & Import Support

Help with the relevant export or import documentation and country-specific requirements for the journey.

Airline & Airport Coordination

Support with airline arrangements and the airport logistics involved in getting your pet ready to travel.

Arrival & Handover

Support with the arrival process and agreed handover arrangements so the journey continues smoothly after landing.

Local pickup & appointments

Need Help Before Your Pet Flies?

Sometimes the international journey starts days or weeks before the airport. If you are not available, selected local pet transportation services can help your pet get to grooming or health-related appointments before travel, subject to the service arrangement.

For Dubai-based customers, we can also connect the local part of the journey with airport transportation, helping your pet get from home or another agreed location to the airport.

Export or import? Start with your direction

The Journey Depends on Where Your Pet Is Going

International pet travel looks different depending on the direction of the move. That's why we make this the first choice in the quote journey.

For other origin and destination combinations, the relocation team can review the route and advise on the next steps.

Professional Industry Recognition

As an IPATA member, we coordinate international moves around recognised pet transport and IATA live-animal standards.

Questions pet parents ask

International Pet Relocation Questions, Answered

Every international move has its own requirements. These answers give you a starting point before you request a route-specific quote.

What is international pet relocation?
It is the process of moving a pet between countries while coordinating the travel, veterinary, documentation and other requirements that apply to the route.
Do you handle pet export and pet import?
Global Pet Cab's international service is designed to support both directions. A pet travelling from the UAE to another country is an export journey, while a pet entering the UAE from another country is an import journey.
Can you relocate my pet from Dubai to another country?
Yes. Global Pet Cab's international relocation service supports journeys from Dubai/UAE to destinations worldwide, with the exact requirements depending on the destination and travel plan.
Can you help bring my pet into Dubai?
Yes. Pet import into Dubai can involve country-of-origin requirements, veterinary preparation, documentation, airline arrangements and arrival procedures. The exact requirements depend on the route.
What documents will my pet need?
Requirements vary by destination and route. Depending on the journey, they may include vaccination records, microchip information, veterinary certificates, permits and other travel documents.
Does my pet need a travel crate?
International airline travel may require an airline-approved or IATA-compliant travel crate. The correct crate and preparation depend on your pet, airline and route.
Can you help with airline arrangements?
Airline and travel coordination can form part of the relocation service, subject to the route, airline and selected service.
Can you help with airport transfers in Dubai?
Yes. Local pet transportation can connect your home or another agreed pickup point with the airport as part of the wider travel journey.
What if I cannot take my pet to a grooming or health appointment before travel?
Selected local transportation and appointment support may be available when the pet parent cannot be there, subject to the service arrangement.
How do I get a quote?
