Engineering space:The crate must have dimensions that allow the dog or cat to stand upright without its ears touching the ceiling, with complete freedom to turn and lie naturally.

Safe passage through the gates of the Cargo and Veterinary Quarantine Village at Cairo Airport requires a precise timetable for preparing the pet’s medical file through a specialized veterinary clinic that understands the requirements ofpet travel serviceInternational. Veterinary procedures must proceed in the following technical sequence:
Microchip (electronic chip):Implanting an electronic chip that is internationally approved with the ISO 11784/11785 system, consisting of 15 numbers. This is procedure number one, and any vaccination done before implanting the chip is considered invalid in the eyes of international customs.
International passport and immunizations:Issuing an official passport for the pet, including rabies vaccinations and basic viral vaccinations (triple and quadruple), making sure that they are authenticated by a registered and reliable clinic such asAl Fares Veterinary Clinic.
Rabies Titer Test analysis:It is a veterinary laboratory examination that measures the percentage of antibodies to the rabies virus in the animal's blood (the result must not be less than 0.5 IU/ml). This analysis is mandatory and required by name for the Gulf countries and the European Union 30 days after rabies vaccination, and we fully coordinate the collection of samples and approve them internationally.

If your pet's destination is the Arabian Gulf, the rules become digital and more precise, and you need to complete prior transactions before the plane takes off:
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia:The Saudi Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture requires a governance system that requires all pet veterinary documents to be uploaded viaNama platformElectronic application to obtain a “prior import permit”. Shipping a dog or cat without attaching Nama platform permission to the bill of lading means returning the animal immediately on the same flight.
United Arab Emirates (Dubai and Abu Dhabi):Compliance requires a prior electronic import permit from the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment, along with strict screening of lists of breeds restricted under federal laws (such as some ferocious or short-nosed dog breeds).
When you coordinate with a professional company in the field ofTransporting animalsYou will find in front of you two air reservation paths determined by the weight of the animal, its species, and aviation policies:
Accompanied Baggage:Your pet travels with you on the same flight as excess baggage, where it is placed either in the aircraft cabin (if its weight is very small and within the permissible limit) or in the equipped and thermally air-conditioned lower holds of the aircraft under the care of the cabin crew.
Manifest Cargo:The animal is shipped as a completely independent air shipment with a separate bill of lading cleared directly fromCargo Village at Cairo International Airport. This system provides excellent care by specialized committees at airports, and is the mandatory and safe option for large volumes, and in hot summer periods to avoid the seasonal ban imposed by some airlines due to the heat of the weather.
The architecture of international animal travel does not tolerate simple mistakes; There is one administrative error in the date of vaccination, or the dimensions of the box do not conform toIATAstandards , or a paper shortage in the cargo village could cost you canceling the entire trip and exposing your animal to violent stress.
