Pet Import Support

Pet Import Permit Application Support

Pets are precious family members. To bring them in and out of Japan, you must undergo inspection at the animal quarantine office of each country and obtain the necessary permits. We provide “Pet Import Permit Application Support” to help you bring your beloved pets to Malaysia.

Since Malaysia is an Islamic country, taxis often refuse to transport dogs. Our service includes airport transfer support to ensure you and your pet arrive safely at your home.
