- 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.
