Key requirements for moving your pet to Pakistan
This is one of the more demanding international pet transport corridors. Pakistan runs a strict biosecurity programme and there are no shortcuts through it.
All pets must complete quarantine on arrival in Pakistan (at a government-designated facility) for 7-14 days days. This is non-negotiable and is entirely separate from the pre-travel preparation.
Pakistan regulated by Ministry of National Food Security and Research. Importing pets to Pakistan is more complex; exporting pets from Pakistan (expats leaving) is a common use case. Authority: Animal Quarantine Department.
From experience: Croatia to Pakistan pet transport
Microchip first, then vaccinate. The microchip must be implanted before any rabies vaccination for the vaccination to count. It’s the most common and costly mistake people make.
Book the titre test laboratory well in advance. Approved labs have limited appointment slots and the blood sample processing takes time. Don’t leave this to the last few weeks.
Get the health certificate from an official (government-approved) veterinarian, not just your regular vet. Some countries have strict requirements about who can sign the certificate. Check the destination authority’s approved list.
If this is your first international pet move, consider using a registered pet transport agent. They handle the documentation, airline booking, crate sizing, and can troubleshoot issues. IPATA-registered agents are the recognised standard.
