About
PawPals is a Dubai-based pet relocation and care company that combines international shipping expertise with a genuine passion for animal welfare. The company was founded by experienced pet owners who understand the anxiety that comes with moving a beloved animal across borders.
Key Services
PawPals provides full-service pet relocation including pre-move consultations, veterinary health checks, vaccination and microchip verification, MOCCAE documentation, IATA crate supply and fitting, airline coordination, and door-to-door delivery. They handle moves to and from the UK, Europe, North America, Australia, South Africa, and the Indian subcontinent. Additional services include pet sitting, dog walking, and temporary fostering for pets whose owners are between accommodations during a move.
Why Choose PawPals
PawPals differentiates itself through its holistic approach to pet care during relocations. Beyond the logistics, they offer behavioural advice to help pets adjust to new environments, recommend pet-friendly housing in destination cities, and provide post-arrival check-ins. Their team includes certified animal handlers and their transparent pricing model — with detailed cost breakdowns provided upfront — has earned them strong word-of-mouth referrals within Dubai's expat community.
