A few days ago three German Shepherd Puppies (Endrefalva Nabob, Dori van Dar Lars-Aue and Udina v.d. Holek Worth - yes those are their names 😃) arrived at JKIA. Small five VET CLINIC picked them up in the middle of the night, cleared and handled all paperwork at the airport and finally dropped them at their new home in Rongai in the morning. Karibuni!

  

First pet on direct flight to/from New York to Nairobi

Our team is excitedly privileged to have been picked assigned the duty of ensuring he gets the highest-level veterinary care upon touchdown. We will proceed with all the clearances to ensure he reunites with his family in one piece as fast as possible.

“Louie Brulee Green Dot” a pedigree “Golden Doodle” will be the first pet to travel aboard the New Kenya Airways flight from New York’s JFK Airport to Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on 29th October 2018. The route will be launched on 28th October by the President. His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta will board the inaugural flight to New York.

"Meet Louie, a 3.5 month old Golden Doodle who flew non-stop from Nairobi to New York, thanks to KQ Cargo."

  
  

Pet-relocation to South Africa

One of our clients moved back to South Africa and with her her furry family members. She adopted both dogs from KSPCA years ago.

Our vet ambulance transported them to JKIA and we ensured they were walked until the last minute (except for the cat Cody ;))

They reached safely and are now in statutory quarantine in Johannesburg.

Enjoy life in your new home Cody, Jambo and Nelly!
Thanks for your trust in us!

Rhodesian Ridgeback Puppy

Happy to have received this cute Rhodesian Ridgeback pup on behalf of client from South Africa yesterday evening. The owner will pick it tomorrow. It's playful, cheeky and very excited to leave its transport box. We gave it a lot of playtime in the garden after the long flight.

  

Get your import/export permit first hand from "small five VET CLINIC"

We are happy and proud to announce that we are now authorized agents for import and export permits for your pets and want to give you a rough idea what to expect if you decide to take your animal abroad or bring it to Kenya.

The most obvious advantage is you get everything first hand from us.
No waiting, running around doing payments here and there, struggling with authorities and officials. We do the whole process for you, even deliver the pet to your doorstep (within NAIROBI). The price depends on the country the animal is going / coming from. Different countries, different laws. Ensure you inquire on time (most European countries, Australia and New Zealand) have very strict regulations.

PET IMPORT (into Kenya)
The Kenyan pet import process demands that only healthy, rabies free pets are allowed entry, we will guide you and process all your relevant documents as the pet must enter Kenyan airspace as manifest cargo. We will help you with the clearing and handling process, vet check and any health adjustment if necessary on arrival.
Pups below three months should not be vaccinated against rabies. Micro-chipping is important but not a must.

EXPORT
The pet export process will majorly be determined by the destination country. If you are relocating your pets we advise you to inform our office at least 4 months in advance for preparation purposes. Micro-chipping and then vaccination is a mandatory requirement. Most countries will require a battery of blood work and other tests before approval. Feel free to ask for a quote.

• Micro-chipping (we do micro-chipping, it must be done before vaccination)
• Up to date vaccination certificate (with stamp and signature of a KVB registered vet surgeon)
• Drawing blood for tests (which depends on the country)
• Processing the blood samples 
• Dispatching them to a recognized lab
• Contacting the vet authorities in the export country to organize import permit
• Organizing a sky kennel with watering container and funnel
• Pet handling and logistics at the port of exit

We wish you and your four legged friends a happy and hustle free relocation.
