The move to Minnesota goes well for Maximus and Dre
The Poodle and Maltese "brothers" were succesfuly relocated to Minneapolis from Entebbe but not before having a stop at Chicago O'Hare. Getting a direct flight was "hard paper" but where there is a will there is a way! We worked with our colleagues at AE pets international who stepped in to do the transfer from ORD airport to Minneapolis. We are eternally grateful!!

Is Fact Stranger than Fiction??
YEAP!! Well in some cases!!!!
The dark guests you see there, are a bunch of weevils, Banana weevils to be precise, that we relocated to the Netherlands! It was on a rainy cold dark evening that the six-legged arthropod passengers crawled onto a KLM flight to Amsterdam for ground-breaking, cutting-edge befuddling research in a bid to improve our staple food (please read Matooke if you will)! These insects of the order Coleoptera and family Curculionidae (sometimes don't we love sounding sophisicated?!) headed straight for the University of Wageningen upon arrival at Schipol airport to get mired in the vortices of their noble duty!!! Tut, Tut!!

Cookie, Spikie and Tinkie the three cute Maltese arrived safely over the weekend in Harare. We are going to miss the boisterousness of Spikie and Cookie and the suave laid back nature of Tinkie even when the other two were making all the noisy drama! The family is catching up!!

3 DUCKS BOARD FLIGHT TO NIGERIA!
We are no strangers to rare passengers but this time it was a trio of Ducks that we booked onto a flight to Lagos. Muskovy ducks will pass for your common domesticated ducks but these special avian passengers had the privilage of hoping (with feathery tails wagging of course) onto a Uganda Airlines flight on Friday enroute to "Oga Land" Nigeria. They are now wading their pedicured webbed feet in rich Nigerian mud as the befuddled citizens yelp: "Echinekewo, Jeesoos"! We live in a Universe of immense and endless possibilities!

RELIABILITY & LONG TERM FRIENDSHIPS,!
Goldie, one of our longterm best friends whom we brought in from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia into Uganda, then a few years down the road, re-exported to Beirut, Lebanon..And again a few years later back into Uganda...and then re-exported to Sarajevo, Bosnia & Harzegovina. Goldie travels with her international expatriate parents. She's one of the several long term friends we've had both at our clinic and as pet travel agents. Over the years we've come to Love, Build and Treasure friendships. We keep in touch and assist our clients globally. Some call many years seeking assistance moving to other far away countries and our IPATA network comes into play... Some in search of long lost records...which we gladly retrieve from the archives. Everyone matters to us! Our Souls remain in touch!!

BINGO ARRIVES FROM ATLANTA FOR MUKONO
The beautiful Golden Retriever pup recently came in from Atlanta USA to Uganda. He arrived aboard the night KLM flight and was our guest at the Vetluv boarding facility for a night before heading for his final destination in Mukono. Playful, outgoing and every happy pup he is!!! Typical Golden Retriever. He's going to be a source of joy to the new parent (whom we've had chance to interact with for a couple of years or so).. wonderful, amazing person too. So they are a match😻
We want to thank our partners in the US Pet Air Carrier who facilitated the move.

CORI THE CAVAPOO ARRIVES IN UGANDA:
We recently helped import from the United States that rare pricey Cavapoo breed (a cross between Cavalier King Charles spaniel and Miniature Poodle). He came as "Cosmo" a surprise present and the kids with out-pouring love re-christened him Cori. A very lovely, loving and entertaining companion. He brings smiles to the family.

FROM KOLOLO TO WASHINGTON DC
The quintessential Saluki seen chillaxing in the VIP seat is "Bolt" whom we relocated months back to the United States.
His name is Bolt, for obvious reasons!! If he decided to sprint,..even his name sake,..the Jamaican 100m multiple gold medallist Hussein Bolt will not catch up.. Probably only a bullet will be faster.
At the time, he was the only Saluki in Uganda...anyone out there with a Saluki?

JOLIE & MALAKAI'S TRIP FROM KAMAPALA TO BELGIUM AND SPAIN!!
After months of preparations, microchip ID insertions, vaccinations, blood tests and tonnes of paperwork the two lovely canines Jolie and Malakai finally travelled from the leafy, forested and hilly surburb of Buziga to Spain...BUT,.. not before making a stop-over in Brussels, Belgium.
Okay...for the less travelled humans, burn with envy😇
They are shown here in photos at the airport, in their new home and their first snow experience😺!!!!
These are also rescues and we thank the family for giving them a chance

RALPH MOVES FROM UGANDA TO SPAIN:
Ralph travelled over the weekend from Kampala to Valencia in Spain. There was a slight flight confirmation hurdle occassioned by a smaller hold door /pet compartment on the aircraft from Istanbul to Valencia but immediate change of kennel size and dimensions solved the issue in time from here in Kampala. For a guy who started life from the streets of Kampala to now being a Spanish citizen, we all have our chances and like they say in Arabic "Maktub" (it is written). Special thanks to Yvonne who tried by all means, tooth-and-nail, claw-and -paw to make sure she gave Ralph a chance at a good life and also eventually went home with him! Below is a video of Ralph immediately after arrival in his new home in Spain

NO EASY FEAT FROM KAMPALA TO N'DJAMENA!!!
It is one of those relos or moves that lands on your desk and you are like; Now, this is a mother of all challenges! But we thrive on challenges and challenges make people grow, they make people more efficient especially if dilligence is infused into the work recipe!
One of our very good clients approached us with a request to move to N'Djamena four furry family members (2 dogs: Sasha a German Shepherd and Zion a Swiss Shepherd...plus 2 cats: Simone & Bishop both large Domestic Short Hairs). However we had to first keep them for a few months before their final move as client had to travel to another country for work/study and family. Now to say they are loved and cherished would honestly be an understatement. Would we be able as a team to dispense the same high level of love, care, cherishment & attention. It was with that in mind that we received, dissected and ardently studied a full dossier on their upkeep.
A few months down the road time for their travel approached but we had a challenge with connecting flights: The aircraft were small and could not accommodate 2 dogs in gigantic travel kennels and 2 big cats in large kennels. So we hatched a plan to first ship one dog and one cat, then ship another dog and cat in another flight. A nail-bitting, paw-chewing experience even for homo sapiens.
Well, like they say,..the rest is history. The entire family was fully reunited in the Chadian capital and like we always say; Happy Family Reunions are the real Nectar behind our work. They keep us going and seeking other family reunions. It is a beautiful story we always want to create and be a part of!!

YUKI MOVES FROM KAMPALA TO ATLANTA!
This lovely Brittany Spaniel succesfully made it to Biden land. Yuki, whom we had come to designate as the ladies man (because he always warmed up to the ladies compared male humans) flew from Entebbe connected in Addis Ababa to finally land in Atlanta where the mum was eagerly awaiting his arrival. Happy family reuniins keep us going😽

CRAZY, EXCITING 2023!!!
2023 has been a crazy and exciting year with a multitude of relocations to over 50 international destinations, some multiple (with North America taking Lion's share, followed by Europe, the UK, Africa and Asia). As we enjoy the festive season and await the birth of That Great Man, Our Lord Jesus Christ we want to profusely thank all the pet lovers, owners, animal enthusiasts and clients (well aren't they all one and the same😺) for having put their trust in us to deliver their family members home whether canine, feline, furry, avian, reptilian and insects (Yes, thats right; Insects). We've worked canine, incisor, fung, pincer, claw and paw (not to forget tooth & nail of course😊) to facilitate happy family reunions from N'Djamena to Sarajevo, from the US East Coast to the West Coast and from Mongolia to Cape Town! We've added several regional offices. So 2024 is going to be as exciting and crazy as 2023..even more.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A PAWFECTLY PURRFECT HAPPY 2024!!! WE LOVE YOU ALL

OUZO FLIES TO BEIRUT LEBANON.
This was one of those emergency relocations that land on our "paws" once in a while without warning. The wonderful and energetic Ouzo had a few days to relocate from Uganda to Beirut. But in this vocation, networks, connections, friends and Trust play a humongous role especially since it involved Lebanese paperwork, Ugandan documentation and flight confirmations (including tricky flight layovers). But we are glad all went smoothly and Ouzo was safely delivered to his eager and loving mum in Beirut!!

THE HANDSOME ZANZI FINALLY MAKES IT TO THE UK!!
Zanzi's (short for Zanzibar's) journey has been epic. For those who have been with us, you may recall the lovely Basenji that came in last year from South Sudan. Zanzi's journey commenced by road from Juba, through Nimule/Elegu boarder crossing down through numerous districts before arriving at Vetluv. Months of preparations ensued in earnest before we could have him ready for travel to the United Kingdom. Flights were reserved, however the new bottleneck instituted by the UK (and most of Europe BTW)on all pets arriving non-commercial as a must presented the proverbial bottleneck. There was a frantic search for an authorized person willing to have Zanzi fly under their name. Finally through networks, a wonderful soul gave the nod and Zanzi was on his way to London Heathrow. We want to thank whoever was involved in this journey most especially Jeremy Luzinda for accepting to fly with Zanzi,... Eric Birungi whose well designed obedience and crate training lessons enabled Zanzi travel comfortably from Entebbe to London. Cheers Zanzi for making it!!!! Thank you Ellena and Orla for giving us a chance to be part of Zanzi's journey!!!!

LOVELY DACSHUND TRIO GOES TO GHANA
This lovely trio of dacshunds with equally interesting names were recently relocated to Accra, Ghana. Merlot (one of my favourite dry reds), Kamikaze (anyone remember those fearless Japanese pilots) and Taboo (well,... Taboo), stayed with us for sometime before they were ready to board their flight through Nairobi to Accra. Very entertaining trio. We shall miss them!

23/10/2022

MOYO MUKASA GOES TO ACCRA, GHANA!!!
Moyo's journey started in Muyenga Kampala. After a battery of tests, a flurry of activity in arranging for Ghanaian import paperwork and Uganda export paperwork and flights et al, Mwaami Moyo Mukasa was on his way to Accra (via Nairobi) where his Dad Samuel was eagerly awaiting his arrival.
He probably rubs shoulders with Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo once in a while!!☺️

MOVING FROM SOUTH SUDAN TO THE UNITED KINGDOM!!
This good looking typical Basenji, Zanzi has been living in Juba, South Sudan for some time... However a time comes in our lives when we need to move on to new realms and new adventures. His desired destination is His Majesty's realm. We made arrangements to have him driven from Juba by road through the Nimule-Elegu border crossing into Uganda. He's with us at the moment as we prepare his eventual move to the United Kingdom.

EMERGENCY FLIGHT TO BULGARIA
It was quite very urgent and sudden that Stypor had to fly to Bulgaria as soon as yesterday. Stypor's parents told us we only had just under 3 days to reserve, book and confirm flights which can be a real humongous feat in these tumultuous times….. But one thing we’ve learnt in this industry is, it helps to have friends and contacts.
Stypor arrived safely at Sofia Airport in Bulgaria and is well settled in with family!

At Vetluv, we believe behind every loving pet owner and companion there is a story! Behind every pet’s name or christening ceremony, if you like, there is a story; You will agree, numerous times, names are not just random! There is definitely a story on how they met, how the pet came to be in their keep, how long it has been there and the times man and pet have shared together; happy or sad! That bond is strong and irreplaceable…...almost permanent and pensionable if you like! That, is why when someone tells us they wish to take their furry companion with them, wherever they are relocating to, we take that very seriously! To us, it ceases to be just any other job but a serious mission to re-unite families in whatever part of the Universe it is or will be. The Team at Vetluv will always make it happen!!!!

BALOO THE "BEAR" RELOCATES TO JAKARTA, INDONESIA!!
Most people will inadvertently recall Baloo that fun-loving, easy-going loyal bear, a character in the Disney movie "Jungle Book" that frolicked with the man-cub Mowgli.... However this Baloo though sharing most attributes with the Jungle Book star, (minus singing the song "Bear Necessities") is a lovely Labrador Retriever that anyone would love to have for a companion.
I first interacted with Baloo exactly 2 years a go when we imported him from the united States. It was now time to move with family to Indonesia, the land of 17,000 islands (whether you chose to believe it or not☺️).
Well, all went smoothly and Baloo arrived in Jakarta on the 19th of October. Happy family re-union once again!!!

THE HILL FAMILY MAKE IT TO THE UNITED KINGDOM!!
After days of detailed meticulous planning, Mopsy, Lucky and Sissy landed at Heathrow International Airport last week! After the airline seemingly pulling a rag on flights with all the chaos in the industry and a sudden change in the UK rules to only admitting pets to strictly Non-commercial movement the game grew tighter. With non-commercial certification the pets need to arrive in the UK within 5 days of the owner and if not the latter, then an authorized person designated by the owner in whose name the pets can travel. We shall forever be thankful to Laura Garforth who volunteered to have the 3 pets travel in her name since she was arriving within the mandatory 5 days.
The Trio of Mopsy, Sissy and Lucky are now with their mum Myra Hill. A lady who has been a blessing to many while she was in Uganda and especially to the USPCA as an indefatigable volunteer for years. We pray further that they will be a source of eternal comfort to her as she goes for her procedure.
And they were in time to watch first-hand the drama and debacle of Liz Truss resigning!!!
Laura Garforth, again, thank you so much. Though we were lucky that the HARC had offered us more open arrival slots for this and next week at LHR, it would still have taken ages looking for another volunteer. Be Blessed!!!!

FROM THE PEARL OF AFRICA TO THE LAND OF THE BLUE SKIES: THE TRICKY JOURNEY TO MONGOLIA
We were tasked with moving Kira and Shenzi from Uganda to Mongolia where their “parents” had a new job posting. However, the journey wasn’t going to be easy, as it was a very long trip…. more so, there being no direct flights from Entebbe.
Our initial itinerary was from Entebbe to Incheon airport, South Korea on Qatar airlines and then onto either MIAT Mongolian airlines or Korean air to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. However, the major requirement to go to or transit through South Korea is a mandatory blood test. Time was limited and blood work hit a snag at the last minute. We had to go back to the drawing board and make fast & concrete decisions. We had to choose a connecting port in a country that did not require blood work, particularly a rabies titer test to transit through. Talking to Turkish they agreed to uplift Kira and Shenzi through Istanbul and a few days ago they successfully traveled with their mum From Entebbe to Ulaanbaatar airport in the Land of the Blue Skies…….
I envisage them eyeballing with the famous Snow Leopard that is known to inhabit the vast rugged expanses of Mongolia!! Lucky duo, aren’t they?

Watch this Amazing Video of a Recent family Re-union!!! It has been rather difficult organising flights in last few months. It takes tenacity, grit, friends and useful networks but once a family re-unites, it is worth it!!! This happened at JFK airport recently after Vetluv relocated Rue & Trotsky to make a complete Custer family!

Recent Imports: Meru From South Africa The bouncy energetic Meru seen in the video recently imported from the pure line of proud Klein Sandfonteins in south Africa is settling in quite well. Now almost 4 months, he came in last week for a check-up and his shots, boy,... has he progressed!! A truly great character, intelligent and amazingly very good with children!!! Smashes all ingrained and falsely peddled stereotypes!!
