PET TRAVEL & RELOCATION

Expert Pet Travel Services to and from Kenya – Safe, Hassle-Free & IATA Approved

Full-Service Pet Import & Export in Kenya – Trusted by Global Pet Owners

Looking to travel internationally with your dog or cat? Whether you're a Kenyan pet owner relocating abroad, or a traveler or expat bringing pets into Kenya, Mobivet Veterinary Clinic provides complete in-house pet relocation services—safely, professionally, and in full compliance with international standards.

We handle the entire process from A to Z, ensuring your pet's journey is stress-free, legally compliant, and humane.

For exporting pets from Kenya to any destination, the following general requirements apply:

  • The pet's original and up-to-date vaccination card, demonstrating a rabies inoculation received within the past 12 months, but no less than 30 days prior to travel, unless a 3-year validity is clearly indicated.
  • An ID/Microchip certificate for the pet, as most countries and airlines now require it for identification purposes.
  • The recipient's address and phone number in the destination country.
  • The owner's passport details.
  • An IATA compliant travel box.
  • A copy of the destination country's import permit, license or permission slip, if necessary, specifying their specific import requirements.
  • A veterinary health certificate, valid for 3–4 days before the departure date, ensuring that all the destination's specific requirements are indicated on this certificate.
  • An export permit from the Kenyan authorities, valid for 14 days before the departure date.
  • An Airway Bill (AWB) from the airline, including the correct Consignee and Notify Party details at the destination.

All original documents must travel with the dog.
