Pet Relocation Saudi Arabia — Door to Door, Fully Handled
Mover And Packers
Al Tariq Transporters handles pet relocation across Saudi Arabia — MEWA permits, health certificates, air cargo coordination, and door-to-door service from Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam.
What Pet Relocation in Saudi Arabia Actually Involves
Most people underestimate how complex pet import into the Kingdom is. Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture — MEWA — controls all live animal imports through the Anaam electronic platform. Every permit, every document, every endorsement runs through this system.
The requirements are strict. Miss a step and your pet cannot clear customs. That is not a risk worth taking when you are moving your family across borders.
Important for Dog Owners: Saudi Arabia currently restricts general dog imports. Dogs may enter for specific purposes — guarding, hunting, and as guides for people with disabilities. Certain breeds are also prohibited entirely, including Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Boxers, Mastiffs, and Bulldogs. If you are relocating with a dog, contact us before making any plans so we can confirm your pet’s eligibility.
Cats Cats are the most straightforward pets to relocate into Saudi Arabia. They require an MEWA import permit obtained via the Anaam platform, a government-endorsed veterinary health certificate, an ISO 15-digit microchip, up-to-date rabies vaccination with a minimum 30-day waiting period, and a certificate of origin. One person may bring a maximum of two cats every six months.
Dogs Eligible dogs require the same core documentation — MEWA permit, endorsed health certificate, ISO microchip, rabies vaccination — plus confirmed breed eligibility before any application is submitted. Import permits are valid for 30 days from the issue date. The consignment must enter through the port listed on the permit: Riyadh, Jeddah, or Dammam.
Saudi Arabia Pet Import Requirements — What You Need
These are the core requirements for bringing a pet into the Kingdom. We manage every one of these on your behalf.
01 — MEWA Import Permit Applied for through the Anaam platform. Valid for 30 days. Must be obtained before travel.
02 — ISO Microchip A 15-digit ISO-compliant chip must be implanted and registered. Chip number must appear on all documents.
03 — Rabies Vaccination Must be administered at least 30 days before travel and within the validity period. Required for cats and eligible dogs.
04 — Government-Endorsed Health Certificate Issued by a licensed vet and endorsed by the official veterinary authority in the origin country.
05 — Certificate of Origin Confirms your pet’s country of origin. Imports are only permitted from countries listed on the Anaam platform.
06 — IATA-Compliant Travel Crate Large enough for your pet to stand, turn, and lie down. Required for air cargo and cabin travel.
Note: Saudi customs and veterinary officials must be notified before your pet’s arrival — especially for flights landing outside normal business hours. We coordinate this as part of the service. Pets arriving without prior notice can be held or refused entry.
How Our Pet Relocation Service Works — Step by Step
We have handled enough pet moves to know where things go wrong. Our process is designed to remove every point of uncertainty — for you and for your pet.
Step 1 — Initial Consultation Tell us your pet’s species, breed, origin country, travel dates, and destination city in Saudi Arabia. We confirm eligibility, flag any breed restrictions, and give you a clear timeline and cost estimate.
Step 2 — Document Checklist and Preparation We give you a precise checklist of what your vet needs to prepare. We confirm the microchip is registered correctly, the vaccination timing is within range, and every document matches the Anaam platform requirements.
Step 3 — MEWA Import Permit Application We submit the import permit application through the official Anaam e-services portal. This is time-sensitive — the permit is valid for only 30 days, so timing with your travel date matters.
Step 4 — Flight and Air Cargo Booking Flights to Saudi Arabia must be direct or transit through a rabies-controlled country. We coordinate the air cargo booking with airlines familiar with MEWA requirements and the handling facilities at Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam airports.
Step 5 — Customs Coordination and Arrival We notify customs and veterinary officials ahead of your pet’s arrival. We coordinate collection from the cargo facility and delivery to your address — so your pet comes straight to you without you navigating the airport cargo zone alone.
Relocating Pets in Saudi Arabia's Climate — What to Know
Saudi Arabia’s desert climate adds a layer of complexity to pet transport that many people do not consider until it is too late. Summer temperatures in Riyadh and Jeddah regularly exceed 45°C. Airlines enforce strict heat embargoes during peak summer months, which can limit which flights are available for live animal cargo.
We plan travel schedules around these restrictions. Early morning departures, climate-controlled holding areas, and direct routes reduce heat exposure significantly. We also advise on crate preparation, hydration, and acclimation in the weeks before travel.
Once your pet arrives in Saudi Arabia, the adjustment period matters. We can connect you with vetted local veterinary clinics in Riyadh and Jeddah for a post-arrival health check — particularly important if your pet is travelling long-distance for the first time.

Your belongings are never left unattended and every entry and exit is logged. Whether you are storing household furniture or high-value commercial equipment — the level of security does not change.
Clean and Properly Maintained Environment A storage facility is only as good as the condition it keeps your items in. Our warehouse in Riyadh is maintained to a consistently high standard — clean, dry, and properly organised. We do not accept the idea that stored items should come back dusty, damp, or deteriorated.
Flexible Duration — No Pressure Commitments We understand that timelines change. Your new property might be delayed again. Your renovation might take longer than planned. We offer genuinely flexible short-term and long-term storage options with no pressure to commit to more time than you actually need.
Integrated Moving and Storage Service One of the most practical advantages of choosing Al Tariq Transporters for storage is that we handle the full journey.
