Pet & Live Animal
Relocation Services
Moving is thrilling for humans, but for pets it can be distressing. At Mid City Movers, pets are not cargo — they are part of the family. Climate-controlled vehicles, certified handlers trained in canine/feline CPR, scheduled hydration stops, and direct point-to-point transit across Kenya.
The Animals We Carry Across Kenya
Dogs & Canines
Secure crates with absorbent bedding, planned comfort walks on leash, spill-proof water bowls, and calm handling.
Cats & Felines
Quiet, covered carriers placed in low-vibration cabin areas, away from barking dogs and engine heat.
Caged Birds & Parrots
Draft-shielded cages with secured perches and food trays, protected from vehicle air currents and direct sun.
Rabbits & Small Pets
Temperature-monitored enclosures with chew-safe padding and quiet surroundings for sensitive small animals.
Fish & Aquatic Tanks
Aerated transport containers, temperature conservation packs, and careful aquarium draining and re-leveling.
Goats, Sheep & Small Livestock
Ventilated transport with non-slip straw footing, proper veterinary movement permits, and humane ramp loading.
A Moving Truck is No Place for a Frightened Animal
Normal moving vehicles are noisy, drafty, and filled with jostling furniture. Mid City Movers deploys dedicated pet transport cabins with independent climate controls and certified animal handlers.
Temperature & Climate Control Fleet
Auxiliary heating and cooling systems operate independently of the truck engine, maintaining steady, regulated climate through midday heat and cold highland passes. Multi-phase HEPA air purifiers filter out exhaust, allergens, and dust continuously.
Trained Handlers & Health Supervision
Every handler is trained in canine/feline CPR and pet first aid. While en route, handlers perform quiet wellness checks monitoring breathing, gum color, and hydration levels, with direct 24-hour on-call vet support on every highway route.
Your Checklist as the Pet Owner
Veterinary Health Check
Ensure rabies and core vaccines are up to date with a valid vaccination card signed by a licensed vet.
Carrier Acclimatization
Leave the travel crate open in your living room days ahead with familiar blankets and treats inside.
Meal & Water Timing
Feed a light meal 3 to 4 hours before pickup to avoid nausea; small sips of water are fine until departure.
Medications & Prescriptions
Label required medications clearly with precise dosages; our handlers follow your vet instructions to the minute.
Pet & Animal Relocation Questions, Answered
Can pets travel in the cabin with the driver?
Pets travel inside our climate-controlled passenger and pet cabin alongside our certified handler, never loose in the rear cargo container with furniture.
What happens if my pet needs medication during transit?
Our handlers are trained in veterinary administration protocols (insulin, heart medications, joint drops). Provide instructions and medication bottles at pickup.
Do you provide crates or do I need my own?
We provide sanitized, airline-standard IATA travel crates of all sizes upon request, or you may use your pet’s familiar carrier.
Are movement permits required for moving livestock upcountry?
Yes, inter-county livestock transport (goats, sheep) requires veterinary health permits from the sub-county veterinary officer, which our logistics team helps coordinate.
