Quoted packages, not a government fee table

Direct answer

How much does Dubai Pet Relocation charge?

Coordination is quoted after we know the pet, the route and which tier you want: PawPilot, PawPartner or PawVIP. This page lists what each tier includes and leaves out. Government permit and release fees are confirmed on the official MOCCAE portal. Airline freight and clinic invoices are third-party. Email support@dubai-pet-relocation.ae or WhatsApp +971504782999 when you are ready to book.

Package scopes are listed here. The types of cost, without a coordination price, are explained on pet relocation cost Dubai. Government fees are confirmed on the official portal. Confirm the current MOCCAE import-permit and arrival-release fees on the official portal. Fees may change. Confirm them on the official MOCCAE pet import permit page. The how-to lives on the MOCCAE import permit guide.

MOCCAE import permits are valid for 90 days from the date of issuance. The pet must enter the UAE within that window. It is not allowed to import pets with an expired import permit. When a rabies antibody titre test (RNATT) is required, the blood sample must be taken within 90 days before travel and the result must be at least 0.5 IU/ml. This is a sample-timing window, not a 90-day waiting period after the test. Those two clocks change when you apply and when you draw blood. They do not become a price list.

What drives the price

A quote is a bundle, not a ticket. Direction matters first: inbound files run on a 90-day MOCCAE import permit; outbound files run destination-first and a UAE export health certificate. Pet size and crate volume move freight. Heat months and snub-nosed airline rules shrink the product list. How much of the sequence you hand over decides whether you buy a document plan or a held move.

Route and direction

A UK file is a different job from an India titer file or a Dubai-to-Australia export. Each route keeps its own document list.

Crate and airline product

Manifest cargo into Dubai is the usual inbound product. Cabin is a separate airline rule, not a default. Freight follows volumetric weight, not our coordination fee.

Season and breed

Summer embargoes and restricted-breed housing rules can force a later month or a different aircraft. Eligibility comes before we quote cargo.

How much we hold

PawPilot leaves bookings with you. PawPartner coordinates booking and travel day. PawVIP adds a dedicated manager. Same laws. Different labour.

Service packages

The names match the services hub: PawPilot, PawPartner and PawVIP. Each card shows what the tier includes, what it leaves out, and that the proposal is prepared on WhatsApp after eligibility. Government fee notes further down are labelled confirm-on-portal. They are not package prices.

What is never included

Third-party and government lines stay on their own invoices. We will not bury them inside a pretty package total. Confirm MOCCAE import-permit and arrival-release fees on the official portal. Confirm airline animal charges on the carrier. Confirm clinic work with the vet who signs the certificate.

  • Destination quarantine or foreign-entry charges on an outbound file
  • Dubai Municipality / Aleef registration after the pet is already home

Government fees only (MOCCAE / official portal)

These are government fees on the official MOCCAE portal, not Dubai Pet Relocation package prices. Confirm the live amounts when you apply. Fees may change.

  • Import permit framing: AED 200. Confirm on the official portal.
  • Arrival release framing: AED 500 (dog) / AED 250 (cat). Confirm on the official portal.

Confirm the current MOCCAE import-permit and arrival-release fees on the official portal. Fees may change.

Airline animal charges stay on the carrier. Jet and shared-charter seats stay quote-only on their own service pages. Local pet taxi is a separate ground product, also quote-only for our coordination.

DIY versus paid coordination

If you already have UAE Pass, a consistent document pack and time to absorb a portal resubmission, stay in the guides. The import checklist and UAE import requirements pages are written for that path. We will not recap those lists on WhatsApp for free.

Pay when a missed sequence would blow a cargo date, when you cannot complete UAE Pass yourself, or when you want one coordinator to hold permit timing, airline booking, crate rules and the airport handoff. That is when a coordinator is worth hiring.
