Travel with Pets - import from USA to UAE


Expert: jerry mishler - 7/22/2008

Question
Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm moving to the UAE in October with my husband and we want to bring our 2 miniature Yorkies with us. The dogs are 3.5 pounds each, and one has health issues. I read online that the UAE only accepts pets into their country as cargo. We cannot do that with our fragile little dogs, they'd never survive plus they have separation anxiety. I called KLM and they said that I could keep my dogs in cabin with me (under the seat) all the way from the USA to Amsterdam then to Abu Dhabi. My question: obviously the airline and the country rules are conflicting. Will I be able to get away with carrying them in cabin or will I be denied access into the UAE? Second question: is there any way around this...perhaps flying to Europe with the dogs in cabin then we could take a shorter flight where they dogs could go as cargo? Any advice would help!
Thanks, HKA

Answer
Sorry, the person at KLM does NOT know what they are talking about.
Pets MUST  ONLY  enter UAE as cargo, no exceptions.
Contact: Mohd. Musthafa at  www.avcclinic.com   pro@avcclinic.com
for assistance in Abu Dhabi.
Where are you in the USA?
I might be able to help you more if I knew where you are....
Regards, Jerry Mishler
