Animals and pets in Malaysia

Animal prices in Malaysia depend on the species, age, purpose and health record, and the search results give no reliable price range for live animals, so this article quotes no figures. Send a request on BlaBlaPrice with the animal you want, your city and your budget, and local sellers can reply with their own offers.

The price of an animal depends on:

  • the species, breed or type of livestock
  • the age, and whether the animal is vaccinated
  • the purpose: pet, breeding, farm use or working animal
  • the health record and whether a vet has checked the animal
  • the delivery city and the cost of transport
  • your budget in ringgit

Prices are quoted per animal, or per lot for poultry and livestock groups.

Animal welfare and licences

The Animal Welfare Act 2015 sets the standard for animal welfare across Malaysia and has been enforced since 18 July 2017. Under it, individuals and businesses that handle animals for a living need to apply for a licence from the Animal Welfare Board. Before you buy from a seller, ask whether they hold that licence and how the animals are housed and fed.

Pet imports and health papers

A pet that comes from abroad needs a microchip, an import permit and a rabies titre test, and some animals must spend time in quarantine. Ask the seller for the vaccination record and whether a vet has examined the animal. Allow time for the papers before a planned move, because the paperwork decides the travel date.

Season and climate

Malaysia has no winter or summer. It is hot all year, with wet and dry seasons, so housing for animals must cope with heat and rain throughout the year. Kennels and runs need shade and drainage, and feed and bedding should be kept dry in the wet season. Check where the animal will live before you buy it.

Delivery, units and what to write

Quote dogs, cats and other pets by age in months or years, and livestock by head count and weight in kilograms. Ask whether the seller can deliver between Kuala Lumpur, Shah Alam, Johor Bahru, Ipoh and George Town, and what papers the animal needs for the journey. In your request, state the animal or livestock type, the age, the purpose, the number of animals, the vaccination needs and your city. A photo helps the seller answer quickly.
