Pet Export Permit—Smooth, Stress‑Free Pet Travel from Kampala with Superior Animal Clinic

Thinking of flying your dog or cat abroad? Before you can board, most airlines and destination countries ask for an official pet export permit (sometimes called a veterinary export certificate or pet travel health certificate). At Superior Animal Clinic on Salaama Road, Makindye, we prepare the complete paperwork—so your furry friend travels legally, safely, and on time.

Why a Pet Export Permit Matters

• Legal compliance: Uganda’s Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry & Fisheries (MAAIF) requires a permit for every pet leaving the country.
• Hassle‑free customs: Accurate documents prevent airport delays, quarantine, or denied entry.
• Health & safety: The permit verifies vaccinations (especially rabies), microchip ID, parasite control, and overall fitness to fly—protecting your pet and other animals in transit.

What’s Inside Your Permit Package

1. Government‑endorsed Veterinary Health Certificate (dog or cat).
2. Verified vaccination & deworming record.
3. ISO‑standard microchip details (we can implant the chip if needed).
4. Rabies neutralising antibody titre (RNAT) report when required.
5. Airline‑specific fit‑to‑fly letter.
6. Official MAAIF export endorsement stamp & signature.

We also guide you on crate sizing, airline booking, and destination‑country import rules—everything in one visit!
