Relocating a pet from the UAE to another country is a significant and often emotional decision. At Royal Hermes, we understand that your pet is not just an animal — they are a cherished member of your family. That’s why we offer specialized international pet relocation services designed to ensure your pet’s journey is safe, smooth, and comfortable. Our mission is to support you every step of the way, providing expert guidance, personal care, and complete peace of mind.

The process begins with a detailed consultation where we listen to your requirements, understand your destination’s pet import regulations, and create a custom relocation plan based on your pet’s breed, age, health, and temperament. Whether you are moving to Europe, North America, Asia, or the GCC, our experienced team will ensure that all procedures are carried out according to the latest international standards. We provide clear explanations of each stage of the process, helping you feel confident and informed from day one.

Health and safety are at the heart of every relocation we manage. To meet international travel requirements, your pet will undergo a full veterinary checkup by a licensed and government-approved vet. We coordinate the entire process, from scheduling vaccination appointments and microchipping to arranging any required blood tests like the rabies antibody titer test, which is mandatory for countries such as the UK, EU nations, and Australia. We also manage treatments for parasites and ensure your pet receives a final fitness-to-fly certificate, which is essential for export approval. Our veterinary partners work closely with us to issue all necessary medical records and certificates within the permitted timeframes to avoid any complications at your destination.

Alongside the medical requirements, there is a significant amount of paperwork involved in exporting a pet internationally. Royal Hermes takes complete responsibility for managing all legal documentation. We apply for the export permit from the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment in the UAE, ensure that all vaccination and microchip records are properly recorded, and submit the final health certificates for government endorsement. If the destination country requires an import permit, we assist with that as well, making sure every document is in place well before your pet’s travel date. We also keep track of transit regulations in case your pet’s journey includes stopovers in other countries.

Comfort during travel is one of the most important factors in pet relocation. We provide high-quality, IATA-approved travel crates specifically matched to your pet’s size and needs. These crates are designed to allow natural movement, ventilation, and comfort throughout the flight. If your pet is not familiar with traveling in a crate, we provide training tips and support to help them adjust and reduce stress before the journey begins. Familiarization plays a key role in ensuring that pets remain calm and feel secure on the day of travel.

As the travel date approaches, our team handles all the necessary pre-flight preparations. We arrange for your pet to be picked up from your home in a temperature-controlled vehicle to ensure they remain comfortable during transit to the airport. Once at the airport, we assist with the airline check-in, complete all final documentation, and personally supervise the boarding process to make sure your pet is loaded with care and according to airline safety standards. We are in constant communication with the airline and stay updated on the progress of the flight from takeoff to landing.

Once your pet arrives at the destination, our service continues with trusted global partners who help manage the arrival procedures. These professionals assist with customs clearance, veterinary inspections (if needed), and coordinate the final handover of your pet. Whether you’re meeting your pet at the airport or arranging for home delivery, we ensure that everything is handled smoothly and without unnecessary delays. For countries with post-arrival quarantine requirements, such as Australia or New Zealand, we also guide you on the procedures and timelines involved.

Royal Hermes has successfully relocated pets from the UAE to a wide range of countries including the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, and several countries in Asia such as Singapore and Malaysia. Each destination has its own set of rules, and we take pride in our ability to stay updated with the latest guidelines and adapt the relocation process accordingly. Even if your chosen country has complex entry requirements, we will find the most reliable and pet-friendly way to complete the move.

What truly sets Royal Hermes apart is the level of personal care we offer. Every pet is treated with individual attention, and every family is kept informed throughout the process. We know that sending your pet on an international journey is not easy. That’s why we remain by your side from the very beginning — planning, preparing, monitoring, and following up — until your pet is safely in your arms at your new home.

If you are considering exporting your pet from the UAE and want the journey to be handled with professionalism, care, and heart, Royal Hermes is here to help. Our dedicated team is ready to assist with any questions, offer expert advice, and provide a clear path forward for your pet’s relocation.
