Relocating a dog or cat to or from Motor City?
Motor City is one of Dubai’s most pet-friendly residential communities — a leafy, family-oriented neighbourhood of low-rise apartments and townhouse villas wrapped around tree-lined streets and open green space. With so many residents keeping dogs and cats, it is a community we relocate pets to and from regularly. Whether you are settling into Uptown Motorcity from abroad or leaving the UAE for a new posting, we handle the permits, paperwork and transport so you can focus on your family.

Moving To or From Motor City With a Pet
Most Motor City relocations are international — families arriving from the UK, USA, India, Australia and across Europe, or leaving Dubai for a new chapter. 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. The MOCCAE permit costs AED 200 per pet and is valid for 90 days, so we time the application carefully against your travel date.
From low-risk countries the timeline is typically 2–6 weeks. A rabies titer (blood) test is only required for pets coming from high-risk rabies countries — and where it applies, the mandatory waiting period pushes the timeline to around four months. We map your exact timeline before you commit so there are no surprises.
Pet-Friendly Living in Motor City
Motor City was designed with families and pets in mind. The tree-lined streets, shaded pavements and green communal areas make it one of the easier neighbourhoods in Dubai for dog walking, and the mix of villas and ground-floor apartments suits larger breeds as well as cats. Building and community pet policies still vary, so check your tenancy terms — and we can advise on crate acclimation ahead of travel day so your pet is comfortable on the move.
Cost of Pet Relocation in Motor City
Total cost depends on your route, pet size and service level — typically AED 2,000 to AED 25,000. Government charges include the MOCCAE permit at AED 200 per pet plus airport release fees of roughly AED 700 per dog and AED 450 per cat; the rest covers veterinary work, the crate, cargo and our coordination. We give you a clear range on WhatsApp before you commit.
Local Veterinary Support in Motor City
Motor City and the surrounding Dubai Sports City corridor 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.
