Complete Guide to Pet Airport Travel in the UAE

Published: January 20, 2025 | 6 min read

Whether you're relocating, traveling, or receiving a new furry family member, navigating pet travel at Dubai (DXB) and Abu Dhabi (AUH) airports requires preparation.

Essential Documentation

All pets traveling through UAE airports need: Valid pet passport or health certificate, up-to-date vaccination records (especially rabies), microchip documentation, import/export permits (if applicable), and airline-specific forms and booking confirmations.

Timing Your Airport Transport

Airlines require pets to check in 3-4 hours before international flights. Factor in Dubai traffic - during peak hours, allow extra time. Fetch Pet Taxi offers fixed-rate airport transfers with timing flexibility.

Cargo vs. Cabin Travel

Small pets under 8kg (including carrier) can often travel in-cabin. Larger pets travel as cargo. Cabin requires soft-sided carrier that fits under the seat. Cargo requires IATA-approved hard-sided crate.
