Step by Step Guide for Exporting Pet from Malaysia

1.

Initial Consultation & Destination Check
  • Different countries have different “Entry Tiers.” Moving a cat to the UK is different from moving a dog to USA. We analyze your destination’s specific requirements.

2.

Vaccination & Microchipping
  • We ensure your pet has an ISO 11784/11785 microchip and is up-to-date on Rabies and core vaccinations (DHPP/FVRCP) at least 30 days before departure.

3.

Blood Tests (If Required)
  • For “Rabies-Free” countries (NZ, or Japan), we arrange the RNATT (Rabies Neutralising Antibody Titre Test) and manage the waiting period logistics.

4.

DVS Inspection & Export Permit
  • 7–10 days before flight, we bring your pet to the government vet for the final health check and secure the Malaysia Export Permit.

5.

Departure & Flight Tracking
  • On moving day, we handle the KLIA check-in. You’ll receive updates until your pet is safely in the air and arrives at their new home.

“Kindly take note that the requirements may change from time to time. Please always check with us for the latest requirements and processes.”
