Documentation Support
Every detail, thoughtfully handled
Our documentation team helps you prepare the required pet travel paperwork for your chosen Mumbai–Dubai or Dubai–Mumbai journey, one step at a time.
We review your pet’s records, provide a clear checklist, help plan official appointments and coordinate the import and export applications for your route. We guide you through any steps the authorities require you to complete personally, including examinations with your pet.
What your fee covers
Document reviews, route guidance, appointment support, import/export application preparation, permitted submissions and government application and certificate fees are included.
What you arrange & pay for
You arrange, fund and attend veterinary appointments, cover required treatments, tests, certificates, shipping and travel, and provide necessary application records.
Who decides on clearance
You provide accurate records and attend pet checks; authorities issue documents and determine departure and entry approvals, which remain unguaranteed.
SELF-MANAGED PAPERWORK
Preparing the paperwork yourself?
Use this guide to understand the kinds of steps involved. It is general information, not a final document list for your pet. Requirements depend on your pet’s history, your destination and the purpose and timing of travel.
Your pet’s details
Gather your pet’s age, weight and complete health history. Check destination requirements and consult your vet for advice on safe, comfortable travel.
Identification
Ensure your pet’s microchip number matches their vaccination records and all travel documents to avoid discrepancies during required identity checks.
Vaccinations
Confirm which vaccinations your destination requires and ensure they remain valid through your pet’s travel date, including any onward journeys.
Tests and permits
Check required tests, permits, waiting periods and accepted laboratories before arranging rabies antibody testing or submitting applications for your journey.
Official certificates
Plan official certificate applications around their validity periods and destination requirements, as ordinary veterinary records may not meet entry rules.
Your full journey
Review your complete itinerary, including return flights and onward destinations, as each stage may require separate permits, certificates and timelines.
