Hi everyone

Me and my husband would like to bring our cat across from the UK at the end of the year and would like to know the basics of what happens and what the rough costing for it all shall be. I've seen that the prices from the UAE end are pretty cheap and only have to get authorization from the Agriculture and fisheries authority, and checked by the municipality. Does anyone know the costing of the flights for example or the cost of the box that the airlines will require you to have? Anyone recommend any companies that specialize in this area, and/or would take care of the whole procedures for this.

Last thing, my cat is very nervous of travelling any where, does anyone know of any tranquilizers or relaxers the vet could give him for the flight over.

Many Thanks

Hi I just arrived 5 days ago from the UK I used Air paws excellent my dog is very nervous Robin arranged her flight with Etihad we were on the same flight I put her in her crate at cargo and when she arrived I was there to meet her.The total cost was £945 for a 34×22×19 crate we were advised not to use any seditives from my vet who checked her 3 days before we left.It took about an hour for her to arrive at the reception from the aircraft and about an hour and half for the paperwork.Air paws did all the paperwork .If you need anymore info please get in touch. <em>edited by mesha on 18/06/2013</em>

We used the Dubai Kennel and Cattery as import agents for our toy poodle and were very very happy with the service and wonderful, caring, and thoughtful treatment of our elderly treasured pet. I cant recommend them more highly.

We moved to AD in September and used Alison Gorton, The Doghouse. Check out the website, lots of useful information. She was fantastic, did everything for us and it was easy. Cost a bit mind you! However, it was totally worth it, and she has the benefit of knowing how the system works, plus the people to deal with. www.dubaidoghouse.com Good luck!
