Pet Relocation Services (Safe Dog & Cat Transport – GCC & International)
Your pet is family, so relocation should never feel risky. Accurate WLL offers professional pet relocation services for dogs and cats, including planning, crate support, documentation guidance, flight booking assistance, and safe transfers—so your pet travels comfortably and arrives safely.
In the GCC, pet relocation has its own rules and timing pressures. You may need quick flight dates, specific import permits, and vet documents that must match strict formats. Also, travel often happens around summer heat, and that changes the best travel windows. Therefore, we plan your pet’s move based on GCC requirements and local realities—whether you’re relocating from Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Jeddah, Kuwait, Bahrain, or Muscat.

Pet Travel Options: Cabin vs Cargo vs Manifest Cargo
Different routes and airlines have different rules. So we help you choose the safest and most realistic option.
1) Cabin Travel (When Allowed)
Some airlines allow small pets in-cabin if they meet weight and carrier size rules.
Best for: small cats and small dogs on pet-friendly routes.
2) Checked Baggage (Limited and Airline-Dependent)
Some airlines may allow pets as checked baggage on certain routes. Availability is limited.
3) Manifest Cargo (Most Common for International Moves)
For many international routes, pets travel via airline cargo under strict safety standards.
Best for: medium to large pets, or countries with strict import rules.
IATA Pet Crates (Sizing, Safety, and Comfort)
Crate quality matters a lot. Therefore, we support IATA-compliant crate planning, which is often required for airline cargo.
Basic crate rules (simple version)
- Pet must stand without touching the top
- Pet must turn around comfortably
- Strong ventilation on multiple sides
- Secure door and lock mechanism
- Absorbent bedding (no loose items)
IATA Crate Size Guide (Quick Reference)
This is a general guide. Final selection depends on airline rules and your pet measurements.
Pet Type | Typical Crate Size Range | Notes |
Small cats / small dogs | 19–24 inch | Often used for cabin-size carriers too |
Medium dogs | 28–32 inch | Most common for cargo travel |
Large dogs | 36–40 inch | Requires correct headroom planning |
Giant breeds | 42–48 inch | Often special order and airline approval |
Documents Needed for Pet Relocation (Typical Checklist)
Pet relocation documents vary by country. However, most relocations include the same core items.
Document / Requirement | Why It Matters |
Microchip | Required for many countries to match identity |
Rabies vaccination | Core requirement for international import |
Health certificate | Confirms your pet is fit to travel |
Import permit (if required) | Some countries require pre-approval |
Parasite treatment records (if required) | Needed for certain destinations |
Airline booking confirmation | Required for airport check-in |
Important: Some destinations require a waiting period after rabies vaccination and/or blood tests. Therefore, early planning is very important.

Rabies wait period / tests (if required) | 3–12+ weeks | Depends on destination rules |

Health certificate close to travel | 2–10 days before flight | Must be issued within a set window |
Flight booking + crate readiness | 3–14 days | Earlier is better for peak seasons |
Summer Heat & GCC Travel Considerations
In hot months, airlines may limit pet travel during extreme temperatures. Therefore, timing and flight selection matters a lot.
We help you with:
- Choosing safer travel windows (often evening/early morning flights)
- Selecting suitable routes and transit plans
- Crate ventilation and comfort planning
- Avoiding risky long layovers where possible
Customs & Arrival Support (At Destination)
Arriving with a pet can feel stressful, especially after a long journey. So we guide you on:
- Airport arrival process (cargo terminal vs passenger terminal)
