About Kiram Air

A vet practice that learned to fly.

Kiram Vet Services Ltd has looked after pets in Kampala since 2016. Pet relocation grew out of the clinic—because the families we treated started moving abroad, and nobody wanted to hand their dog to a stranger.

  • Veterinarian-led, family-run, IPATA member
  • Clinic, pet hotel and travel team on one premises off Ggaba Road
  • Digital X-ray, ultrasound, haematology and laboratory on site

From our travel days

Real check-ins. Real reunions.

Every photo here is one of ours—taken at Entebbe on the day, by the team who walked them to the aircraft.

Kiram Pet Hotel

While they wait, they get a home, not a kennel.

Boarding sits inside our Kampala clinic—so the same veterinary team that plans the flight is the one feeding, walking and checking on them every day.

    Cats board away from the dogs, in individual suites named after the cities we fly to.

  • Daily photo updates

    Meals, walks and how they’re settling, sent straight to your WhatsApp.

Day care

Out all day?

Drop them off in the morning and collect them before reception closes at 6:30pm.

Boarding

While you’re away

Nights, weekends or a few weeks—for holidays, house moves and work trips.

Pre-flight

The last nights before takeoff

Final vet checks, crate practice and a calm room while you pack and close up home.

Arrival

Landing before you do

A settled place to rest after a long flight while onward travel or housing is sorted.

Getting them here

We can collect them—and deliver them to the airport.

Our pet transport van runs between homes, the clinic and Entebbe, so you never have to choose between the school run and a check-in slot.

Arrange a pick-up

Travel day

You stay with them until acceptance.

The handover happens at the counter, in front of you—not behind a door. We complete export clearance, present the crate for the airline's own IATA check, top up the water and stay until it is loaded. Then we message you.

Good to know

Questions before take-off?

Every pet and route is different, but these are the questions we hear most often.

Prefer to talk?
+256 771 605 442

How early should I start planning?

Start as early as you can. Many routes need 8–16 weeks for vaccinations, laboratory tests and permit windows. Australia and other complex destinations can take longer.

Will my pet be safe during the flight?

We select pet-friendly routes, fit an IATA-compliant crate and prepare your pet before departure. Airline procedures vary, so we review every connection and seasonal restriction.

Can you help with the travel crate?

Yes. We measure your pet, recommend the correct crate and guide you through positive crate familiarisation before travel day.

What does my pet need before a hotel stay?

Up-to-date vaccinations and recent parasite treatment, plus their usual food and a familiar blanket. Send us their vet records when you book and we’ll tell you if anything is due.

Do you relocate pets into Uganda too?

Yes. We can guide import requirements, arrival handling and onward transport. Share your departure country and preferred date so we can check the route.
