Animals in the UAE: pets, livestock and supplies

Updated 4 November 2026

This section covers pets, farm animals, poultry, bees and the supplies and services that go with them. Confirmed price ranges for live animals in the UAE are not yet available from our local price data, and the price depends on the kind of animal, its age, breed and papers. The quickest way to current offers is a free request on BlaBlaPrice.

Import rules and border ports

A federal law on veterinary quarantine prohibits animal consignments from entering the country except through approved border ports, and the ministry sets those ports. Decree No. 64 of 2005 sets the requirements and conditions for importing pets and domestic animals. Ask the seller where an animal was imported through and which papers come with it.

Shop standards and dangerous animals

A standards document for pet, ornamental fish and bird shops applies to every animal displayed for sale, so a shop should follow it. Dangerous animals are a separate case: the UAE regulates their ownership, trade and breeding strictly, and keeping one without a licence can lead to penalties. Check any wild or exotic animal offer against that licence rule before you agree.

Season and moving animals

The summer from May to September is very hot, so animals need shade, water and cooler transport, and a delivery in the afternoon heat carries a risk. The mild months from November to March are easier for moving animals and for setting up outdoor pens or runs. For air travel, one carrier's published policy says household pets are not carried in the passenger cabin or as checked baggage, so ask how the animal would travel before you buy.

What to put in your request

Say which animal or supply you need, its age and breed if it matters, whether you need health or import papers, your city among Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain, whether you want delivery or collection, and your budget in AED. For farm animals, say how many you need and for what purpose.

Requests on BlaBlaPrice are free for buyers and written in your own words. Sellers reply in the chat with their offer, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them. If you already know the kind you want, start from Dogs or Cats.
