What should I expect during a MOCCAE visit?

A physical MOCCAE visit would apply for all pets traveling out of the U.A.E. to other countries. Now, during your visit to the MOCCAE branches, you would need to factor for either of us picking up your pet from your residence in a pet taxi, taking him/her to the branch and proceeding with the procedures or if you are uncomfortable leaving your pet, you could bring them directly to either of the branches yourself.

During a MOCCAE visit, your pet’s microchip will be scanned, he/she will be physically examined and assessed by an official vet to verify if they are fit to fly and if their vaccinations are in order. It is imperative to ensure that you visit the MOCCAE with a valid and latest vaccination book of your pet, else he/she will not be entertained.

If you have booked a pet taxi for your pet’s visit, our handlers will pick up your pet, place them in their travel crate, handle all of the procedures and paperwork after which they will drop them back to your residences. If you are bringing your pet directly, please expect for the microchip scan and assessment to take anywhere between 20 – 60 minutes following which, once this is complete, you may leave with your pet and his/her travel crate which will be provided by our handler directly during the visit, after the assessment and our expert handlers will complete the documentation for you.

These are a few surface requirements for your pet’s MOCCAE visit to ensure that you have everything prepared beforehand. It’s best to cross-check the exact requirements in the case of special or exotic animals to keep the chances of it getting rejected are as minimum as possible.
