Pet Relocation to Bahrain – Smooth, Secure & Tailored for Your Furry Companion
Relocating your pet to Bahrain from India? Whether you’re moving for work, family, or a fresh start, ensuring your furry companion arrives safely and comfortably is a top priority. Pet relocation to Bahrain involves a series of well-timed steps and strict documentation—but with the right guidance, it can be a smooth and stress-free journey.
At Anvis Pet Relocation, we specialize in handling the complexities of international pet travel to Bahrain, so you and your pet can focus on settling into your new life with peace of mind.
Step-by-Step Process for Moving Pets from India to Bahrain
Bringing your pet from India to Bahrain is a detailed process that demands accuracy—missing even a single requirement could delay travel or lead to denied entry. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you understand the entire process:
1. Pet Microchipping (ISO 11784/11785 Compliant)
Before any vaccinations are administered, your pet must be implanted with a 15-digit ISO-compliant microchip. This microchip is essential for identifying your pet and linking it to their medical and travel documents.
2. Rabies Vaccination & Other Core Vaccines
Your pet must be vaccinated against rabies at least 30 days before travel but not older than 12 months.
For dogs: Additional vaccines like DHPPiL (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza, Leptospirosis) may be recommended.
For cats: FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia) is commonly required.
3. Import Permit from Bahrain’s Ministry of Agriculture
Before your pet can travel, you must obtain an Import Permit issued by Bahrain’s Animal Wealth Directorate. This permit is usually valid for 30 days. Documents required for the permit include:
-
Pet’s microchip and vaccination records
-
Owner’s passport copy
-
Travel itinerary (tentative)
4. Crate Training & Selection of IATA-Specified Carrier
Your pet must travel in an IATA-specified crate that allows them to stand, sit, turn, and lie down comfortably. Proper crate training should begin at least 2–3 weeks before departure to reduce stress during travel.
Tip: Place familiar bedding or toys inside the crate to ease anxiety.
5. Veterinary Health Certificate (Form 4A)
Issued by an authorized Indian government vet, this certificate confirms that your pet is fit for travel and free from contagious diseases. This form must be:
-
Issued within 7 days of travel
-
Endorsed by the Animal Quarantine and Certification Services (AQCS) in India
6. Book a Pet-Friendly Airline to Bahrain
Choose an airline that accommodates pets safely in cabin, checked baggage, or cargo—based on your pet’s size, breed, and temperament. Some of the most pet-friendly airlines to Bahrain include:
-
Qatar Airways
-
Emirates
-
Lufthansa
-
Gulf Air (Bahrain’s national carrier)
7. Pet Travel Day – Flight & In-Transit Care
On travel day, ensure your pet has access to water, and avoid feeding a full meal right before the flight. Anvis Pet Relocation provides:
-
Pre-flight care
-
Check-in coordination
-
Monitoring during transit (if applicable)
8. Arrival in Bahrain – Customs Clearance & Entry Inspection
Upon landing, pets are inspected by Bahrain’s Animal Quarantine Authorities to verify documents and ensure health compliance. If all is in order, your pet is released immediately without quarantine.
9. Post-Arrival Pet Registration in Bahrain
While not mandatory in all cases, it’s advisable to register your pet with local veterinary clinics for continued healthcare. Ensure vaccinations are kept up-to-date per Bahraini guidelines.
