Yes if you are already living in Dubai then I should think it would be relatively easy to sort it out yourself so long as you are 100% with your paperwork. I think it takes 2-3 days for the import to be granted.

Call Riza www.pet-relocator.com I used her to bring my cat to Dubai and have recommended her to many friends. Way cheaper than DKC!

I did it myself and it cost me 200 dirham per dog. This was six years ago but it is still a lot lot cheaper to do it yourself. And easy. Got the permits from the Dept of Agriculture. I went to their offices to collect and I think there was a 24 hour turn around. Emirates gave us a call when the dogs had arrived and we went to cargo village to collect them. A few hundred fee there and it was done. I had only been here 3 weeks when I did it and had no trouble.

We used DKC Dubai Kennels and Cattery. They sorted out the permit, collected it and did the licencing too, collected the boys from the airport and delivered to the Villa. I think it cost us 3500aed ish for 2. But I will go and check This may help too http://www.dkc.ae/docs/Relocating_Pets_into_the_UAE.pdf <em>edited by emlsnre on 15/01/2011</em>

If you applied online you it should come through online very quickly, keep checking and remember today is an off day for a lot of Gov departs.

Could you please tell me which company and how much it cost? I've said!!!!! It's the Dubai Doghouse! Can't remember what we paid but she did all the paperwork met the animal at the airport, cleared her through and brought her to our villa door. Lovely lady and easy to deal with. Would highly recommend them. They know how to get the animal through the process quickly. Some I kow have done it themselves to save money but it took them a long time and going from pillar to post at the airport. We chose to use this agent from recommendations from here and we were delighted.

We used the Dubai doghouse might be worth calling to see if they can chase it through for you or delay the dogs flight as I'm sure he won't be accepted without the documents.

If I remember correctly it does only take a couple of days but I used a company to organise this for me.
