Have a great day ahead!
At the German Veterinary Clinic we fully understand how potentially intimidating the prospect of pet relocation can be and, as pet owners and lovers ourselves, how important the decision is to find and engage with a team you can trust. The reality is that relocation can be a stressful experience for most, if not all of our pets. Rest assured, a positive travel experience is always our primary focus and we work closely with the UAE’s only Veterinary Behaviour & Training team to reduce discomfort, stress and the potential for a negative experience. Working towards ensuring your pet is sufficiently prepared for their big trip, we always ask the question ‘What impact will airline travel and relocation have on your pet?’ You can learn more about how we answer this and why GVC continues to be Abu Dhabi’s preferred relocation partner in our blog post here.
GVC’s Pet Relocation team can provide you and your pet with the bespoke service that you both deserve. Learn more about our international pet export and import services below and get in touch with us at transport@germanvet.ae or 0
Plan Ahead
Please make sure to get in touch with us for your pet relocation needs well in advance. The minimum timeframe to engage GVC Pet Relocation Services is fourteen days from departure date. However, please be aware that some destination countries require upwards of 180 days for all pre-travel preparations.
Questionnaire
The next step will be to complete a brief GVC’s questionnaire, designed to allow our team to learn a few important details relevant to your pet’s physical, mental and emotional needs in the lead up and preparation for travel.
Relocation consultation
This Relocation Consultation will provide the opportunity to ask any questions you may have and provide you with the information and reassurance needed to consider entrusting your pet’s relocation to the GVC team. The Relocation Consultation lasts 30 minutes and is priced at AED 150.00
Following these steps, the GVC Pet Relocation team will provide you with a detailed estimate and initial travel itinerary outlining your pet’s bespoke relocation service. On acceptance to proceed, the GVC Clinical, Behaviour and Relocation Teams will meet to discuss your VIP flyer’s needs considering the veterinary, behavioural and logistical requirements.
