Frequently Asked Questions: Pug (UAE → Cambodia)
Can a Pug fly in the cabin on Air France from UAE to Cambodia?
In-Cabin Approved on Air France (<= 8 kg Limit). At 7.5 kg (including soft carrier), your Pug qualifies for Air France passenger cabin travel in a ventilated carrier up to 46 x 28 x 24 cm. Reserve cabin pet quota at least 7 days ahead.
How many days in advance do I need to prepare my Pug to enter Cambodia from UAE?
Entering Kingdom of Cambodia from United Arab Emirates (Step-Free/Rabies-Free) requires a strict biological minimum of 22 days and a recommended 36-day pre-clearance lead window via GDAHP (General Directorate of Animal Health and Production, MAFF).
Does Cambodia require a Rabies Titer Test (FAVN) or 24–120h Tapeworm treatment from UAE?
No — because UAE is classified as Step-Free/Rabies-Free, direct travel to Cambodia is exempt from the 90/180-day blood titer wait, requiring a 21-day post-microchip rabies immunity wait. Additionally, dogs must receive Praziquantel tapeworm treatment strictly 24 to 240 hours before landing.
When must MOCCAE Veterinary Quarantine endorse the health certificate for Cambodia?
Your accredited veterinarian must issue "Cambodia International Veterinary Certificate" and obtain official government endorsement from MOCCAE Veterinary Quarantine within 10 days prior to departure.
