Dogs and cats must be vaccinated for RABIES within the last year or 12 months (if recently administered 21 days should elapse after the rabies vaccination date as a condition for allowing the pet to enter the UAE).

There cannot be a gap in the rabies vaccinations from year to year. (If there is a gap a Rabies Serum Test will be required)

All vaccinations must be current and therefore valid.

There are age restrictions for entries of pets in some countries – generally they should not be younger than four months of age.

A valid health certificate (fit to travel Certificate) from your private veterinarian will be required from the country of origin, confirming vaccinations, that the microchip was in place prior to the last vaccination for rabies and that the pet is in good health generally.
