    03What support really costs

    Two ways a pet relocation company can help you.

    Full relocation service
    Recommended
    Often called a “Premium” package

    The pet relocation company handles the UK-side requirements, plus home collection, overnight boarding, and airport delivery.

    Best for: owners who want the process managed end-to-end, with less admin and a lower risk of missing a requirement.

    Important: For true door-to-door support, check that UAE-side requirements are also included — usually an extra £500–£700.

    Typical cost: £2,795–£4,000+

    vs.
    Flight service
    Often called a “Traveller” package

    The pet relocation company handles the airline booking, travel crate, and airport fees.

    You manage the remaining UK- and UAE-side requirements yourself.

    Best for: owners comfortable managing deadlines, paperwork, and the wider relocation process themselves.

    Important: Missing a deadline can delay travel, stop your dog from flying, or add extra costs.

    Typical cost: £1,895–£2,795
