Pet Transport from Oman to Malaysia
Which Malaysia rules depend on a pet coming from Oman?
Malaysia sorts countries into 5 groups, and Oman falls in “Non-scheduled countries”.
Rabies vaccination before export; at least 7 days' quarantine on arrival. Official source
These rules apply to that group, on top of the rules every pet follows:
- Other vaccines and tests: Core vaccinations (other than rabies), as recommended by a licensed veterinarian, within 12 months before export (scheduled-country regulation clause 3.4; the same clause is 3.5 in the non-scheduled regulation; the Australia protocol requires other core vaccines as a complete course). Applies to dogs and cats from scheduled and non-scheduled countries.

The page does not name pets, but the ministry's matching import service treats dogs and cats as one type of animal shipment, so this is the route for a pet leaving Oman.
