Dubai’s Premier Pet Relocation Concierge
Foufoufly manages every permit, every airline requirement, and every detail — so your pet arrives safely and stress-free.
UAE pet relocation is governed by five distinct authority chains. Most owners encounter them for the first time under deadline pressure. We manage every one.
Required for all pets entering the UAE. We manage the application, follow-up, and permit collection from the Ministry on your behalf. You make no government calls — we handle every interaction from submission through to approval.
Government-endorsed veterinary certificate, valid within 10 days of travel. We book the appointment, complete the full endorsement chain, and verify acceptance at your destination — triple-checked before your pet boards.
UAE mandates a valid titre test with a mandatory waiting period of up to 180 days. We calculate your exact testing window, book the accredited laboratory, and track the result timeline — so you never miss the compliance deadline.
ISO 11784/11785 compliance is mandatory. Before any document is submitted, we verify chip placement, readability, and registration against your pet's passport — a detail many owners only discover is wrong at the gate.
Airline acceptance requires IATA LAR-compliant crate sizing, ventilation standards, and precise labelling. We supply the approved crate, prepare the full consignment package, and confirm cargo acceptance before travel day.
We assess breed classification, route requirements, and full documentation status in a single 15-minute consultation — at no cost to you.
We work exclusively with carriers that meet our strict standards for pet safety and comfort.
