Pet Travel Azerbaijan – Pet Transport to Azerbaijan from UK

Planning to fly your dog or cat to Azerbaijan? Here’s what the import process involves.

We’re Fetchapet and we’ve been transporting pets internationally for over 30 years. Baku sits on the Caspian Sea coast and serves as the main entry point for pets arriving by air. Getting the documentation right requires careful planning because Azerbaijan has specific vaccination and health certificate requirements.

Entry Requirements For Pets

Your pet needs an ISO compliant microchip implanted before the rabies vaccination. The microchip number links all documentation together.

A valid, current rabies vaccination is required. Your vet records this on the health certificate.

An Official Veterinarian in the UK must sign a health certificate confirming your pet is healthy, fit to fly and properly vaccinated. The certificate must be in English or include a translated section.

Dogs need vaccines against rabies, hepatitis, enteritis, parvovirus and leptospirosis before import. Cats need vaccines against rabies, panleukopenia and viral rhinotracheitis.

Import permits and customs clearance typically need coordinating through specialized services. We work with contacts in Azerbaijan who handle these procedures as part of our transport service.

Timing matters with vaccinations and health certificates. Contact us early in your planning to make sure everything gets completed in the right order.

Cabin Or Cargo Travel

Azerbaijan Airlines flies pets from the UK to Baku with two travel options depending on size.

Small pets under 8kg total weight (including carrier) can travel in the cabin. Space is limited so you need to book this well in advance.

Larger pets over 8kg must travel in the hold as cargo. This is standard for most international pet transport and the hold is climate controlled and pressurized.

Your pet flies in a crate we build to their specific measurements in our workshops. IATA compliant sizing gives your dog or cat room to stand, turn around and lie down comfortably.

Azerbaijan Airlines needs advance booking and approval for all pets, especially larger ones. We handle these airline arrangements.

What To Expect In Baku

Baku is Azerbaijan’s capital and sits on the Caspian waterfront. The city mixes modern development with historic old town architecture.

Pet culture is developing in Baku. You’ll find outdoor spaces along the Caspian Boulevard and in city parks. Summers are hot and dry, winters mild.

The expat community is relatively small and mostly connected to oil and gas industry or international organizations. Most expats live in Baku rather than elsewhere in Azerbaijan.
