Taking your pet from India to Dubai involves strict documentation, airline rules, and UAE import regulations. Missing even one step can lead to quarantine or denied entry.
This guide covers updated 2024 rules for dogs and cats, including:
✔ Dubai’s pet import policy
✔ Best pet-friendly airlines
✔ Step-by-step paperwork process
Dubai bans these dogs (even as cargo):
❌ American Pit Bull
❌ Japanese Tosa
❌ Dogo Argentino
💡 Note: Emotional support animals (ESAs) do not get exemptions—they follow standard pet rules.
| Requirement | Timeline |
| Rabies vaccine | At least 21 days before travel |
| DHPPiL (dogs) / FVRCP (cats) | Up-to-date |
| RNATT test (rabies antibody) | 30+ days after rabies shot |
📌 Important: Blood samples must go to EU-approved labs (e.g., LABOKLIN Germany).
| Airline | In-Cabin? | Cargo Cost (₹) |
| Emirates | No | 25,000–50,000 |
| Lufthansa | Yes (<8kg) | 35,000–60,000 |
| Air India | No | 20,000–45,000 |
💡 Tip: Book early—only 2 pets per flight are allowed in cargo.
| Expense | Cost (₹) |
| Microchip | 2,500 |
| RNATT Test | 8,000 |
| Health Certificate | 1,500 |
| Airline Cargo | 30,000 |
| Total | ~42,000+ |
❌ Using non-EU labs for RNATT (Dubai rejects Indian lab reports).
❌ Missing the 10-day validity on health certificates.
❌ Not crate-training pets before travel (causes stress).
For hassle-free moves:
Begin preparations 3–4 months before travel. Key priorities:
✅ Microchip first
✅ RNATT test timing
✅ Airline crate training
