Pet and Animal Food Product Registration in Dubai is a mandatory requirement regulated by the Dubai Municipality (DM) through its Veterinary Services Department. All pet foods, animal feeds, and related products must be registered before they can be imported, sold, distributed, or re-exported in the UAE.
The main purpose of registration is to ensure consumer and animal safety, compliance with international quality standards, and transparency in labeling. Products that do not comply with Dubai Municipality guidelines will be rejected during shipment clearance and considered non-compliant.
