Has anyone done this on their own, or does anyone know what the procedure and the cost is. There are companies who do it, like Jetpets, but they are asking as much as AUD $3000 to do it! There is a notice in the UAE Embassy's website in Canberra that reads as follows:

Taking Pets to UAE
If you want to take a pet during your residence period in the United Arab Emirates, you need to take a letter from a Veterinary Authority in Australia or New Zealand about the past and present health history of the pet.
Once you arrive at the airport, the UAE Quarantine Authority may keep the pet for one or more days to examine its health situation before they hand it to you.

Can anyone help with this pls and the money I'll save we can have them for drinks!

Thanks
