Pet Travel from the UAE
to the UK
Planning to travel from the UAE to the UK with your dog or cat? The Pet Passport Co is developing a dedicated UAE to UK pet travel paperwork service, helping owners in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and across the Emirates understand the documents, veterinary checks and timings needed before entering Great Britain.

UAE to UK pet travel paperwork support
The Pet Passport Co is preparing to support pet owners travelling from the UAE to the UK with the veterinary paperwork, document checks and pre-travel planning needed for dogs and cats entering Great Britain.
Our UK-based team already specialises in pet travel documentation, Animal Health Certificates and export health paperwork. We are now developing a UAE service for clients travelling from Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the wider Emirates to England, Scotland and Wales.
Whether you are relocating back to the UK, moving for work, travelling with your family or arranging your pet’s journey with a relocation company, we can help you understand the paperwork needed before travel.
What we will help with
Our UAE to UK service is being designed to support pet owners with:
-
UK entry paperwork checks
-
Microchip and rabies vaccination review
-
Great Britain pet health certificate guidance
-
UAE export paperwork guidance
-
Local veterinary appointment coordination
-
Tapeworm treatment timing for dogs
-
Airline and cargo document checks
-
Final pre-travel document review
The aim is to give owners clear, practical guidance so that the paperwork side of travelling with a pet from the UAE to the UK feels less stressful.
Travelling from Dubai to the UK with a pet
Dubai is one of the most common departure points for UAE to UK pet travel. Our service will help owners check their pet’s vaccination records, microchip details, travel route and expected veterinary paperwork before departure.
We are building a UAE partner network to support pet owners who need local veterinary input alongside UK-entry paperwork guidance.
Travelling from Abu Dhabi to the UK with a pet
For owners travelling from Abu Dhabi to the UK, we will help review the expected paperwork, identify missing information and guide you through the steps needed before your dog or cat travels.
This may include checking rabies documents, microchip information, veterinary certificate requirements and airline or cargo documentation.
Who this service is for
This service is suitable for:
-
UK expats returning from the UAE
