Pet Relocation in Dubai Marina

Relocating a dog or cat to or from Dubai Marina?

Dubai Marina is one of the most pet-populated communities in Dubai — a dense, high-rise waterfront neighbourhood full of expat families and their dogs and cats. That also makes it one of the most common places we relocate pets to and from. Whether you are moving into a Marina tower from abroad or leaving the UAE, we handle the permits, paperwork and transport so you can focus on settling your family in.

Moving To or From Dubai Marina With a Pet

Most Marina relocations are international — families arriving from the UK, USA, India, Australia and across Europe, or leaving Dubai for a new posting. The 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.

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 you commit.

Pet-Friendly Living in Dubai Marina

Dubai Marina is high-rise living, so most pets are dogs and cats kept in apartments. The Marina Walk and nearby beaches are popular for dog walking, and many towers are pet-friendly — though policies vary by building, so check your tenancy terms. We can advise on crate acclimation for apartment pets ahead of travel day.

Cost of Pet Relocation in Dubai Marina

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; the rest covers veterinary work, crate, cargo and coordination.

Local Veterinary Support in Dubai Marina

Dubai Marina and the neighbouring JBR 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.
