Pet care and travel in Dubai

Most towns and cities do have adequate veterinary surgeons. Before travel it may be wise to track down the nearest to you. If your pet is insured, check with your insurance provider as to whether or not your pet is covered outside the UK, and what procedure you should  take when needing to make a claim abroad. There is no quarantine for UAE cats and dogs but they have to have an up-to-date rabies injection and wear a municipality ID tag.
