Relocating a dog or cat to or from Business Bay?
Business Bay is one of Dubai’s densest high-rise districts — a cluster of residential and office towers wrapped around the Dubai Water Canal, home to young professionals and couples who often keep a dog or cat in their apartment. With so many international tenants moving in and out on rotating contracts, it is also one of the areas we relocate pets to and from most often. Whether you are arriving into a Business Bay tower from abroad or leaving the UAE for a new posting, we handle the permits, paperwork and transport so you can focus on the rest of your move.

Moving To or From Business Bay With a Pet
Most Business Bay relocations are international — professionals and couples arriving from the UK, India, the USA, Europe and beyond, or leaving Dubai when a contract ends. The exact requirements depend on your origin or destination country, but the core steps are the same: a valid microchip, current vaccinations, a government health certificate, and a MOCCAE permit valid for 90 days.
The MOCCAE side is straightforward when you know the numbers: an import permit costs around AED 200 per pet, and the airport release fee is roughly AED 500 per dog or AED 250 per cat — so plan for about AED 700 per dog and AED 450 per cat in government fees. A titer (blood antibody) test is only required when travelling from a high-risk rabies country. We confirm whether yours applies before you commit to a date.
From low-risk countries the timeline is typically 2–6 weeks. From high-risk rabies countries that require a titer test, plan for around four months because of the mandatory waiting period. We map your exact timeline before any money changes hands.
Pet-Friendly Living in Business Bay
Business Bay is high-rise, apartment-style living, so most pets here are dogs and cats kept indoors. The Marasi Promenade and the landscaped paths along the Dubai Water Canal give residents a pleasant route for daily dog walks, and many towers are pet-friendly — though policies vary by building, so check your tenancy terms before you move in. For apartment pets that are not used to a travel crate, we can advise on crate acclimation in the weeks before travel day so the journey is as calm as possible.
Cost of Pet Relocation in Business Bay
Total cost depends on your route, pet size and service level — typically AED 2,000 to AED 25,000. Government fees are roughly AED 700 per dog and AED 450 per cat (a MOCCAE permit of around AED 200 plus the airport release fee); the rest covers veterinary work, the IATA crate, cargo and our coordination. We give you a clear, itemised range on WhatsApp before you commit to anything.
Local Veterinary Support in Business Bay
Business Bay and the neighbouring Downtown area are well served by veterinary clinics for the microchip, vaccination and health-certificate steps your pet needs before travel. We coordinate timing with your vet so every document is valid on travel day — and if you prefer, we can recommend a vetted clinic nearby.
