What you need to bring your dog or cat from Singapore to Malaysia via JB

Every document must be in order before your pet crosses the border. We coordinate all of it.

01

ISO microchip

A 15-digit ISO-compliant microchip must be implanted before any vaccinations are given. This is the starting point. All other documents are linked to the chip number.

02

Rabies vaccination

Required for all pets entering Malaysia. The vaccination must be current at the time of crossing. We confirm the timing requirements for your specific crossing date.

03

AVS export health certificate

An AVS-accredited vet in Singapore issues this certificate within the approved window before travel. It confirms your pet is fit to travel and meets export requirements. Included in the package.

04

Singapore export licence

Required by Singapore authorities before your pet leaves the country. We apply for and obtain the export licence on your behalf as part of your package.

05

Malaysia DVS import permit

Malaysia's Department of Veterinary Services requires an import permit before your pet enters the country. We apply to DVS on your behalf and handle all Malaysia-side paperwork. This is included in the package.

06

DVS inspection at JB customs

A DVS officer inspects your pet and verifies all documents at the Johor Bahru border crossing. We coordinate the land transport and ensure all paperwork is presented correctly on the day.

Common questions about exporting pets from Singapore to Malaysia

What is the Malaysia DVS import permit and do I need one?

Yes. Malaysia's Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) requires an import permit for all dogs and cats entering the country. The permit must be obtained before your pet crosses the border. As part of our package, we apply to DVS on your behalf and handle all Malaysia-side administrative paperwork.

How long does the Singapore to Malaysia pet export process take?

Allow 2–4 weeks from confirmation to crossing date. The AVS export health certificate must be issued within a specific window before travel, so we work backwards from your planned crossing date to schedule the vet visit and document preparation. The earlier you start, the more flexibility you have.

Is the travel carrier included in the package?

No. Travel carrier purchase is not included in the package. We can advise on the correct carrier dimensions required for Malaysia DVS and the JB border crossing, but the carrier itself must be purchased separately. Contact us for recommendations.

How do I bring my dog or cat from Singapore to Malaysia?

Fill in our 60-second form with your pet details and planned crossing date. We coordinate the AVS export health certificate, Singapore export licence, Malaysia DVS import permit, and pet land transport via JB. You bring your dog or cat from Singapore to Malaysia without handling any paperwork yourself.
