Travel to Mexico
Travel with your dog to Mexico
All one needs to do in order to bring their pet into Mexico is a bit of paperwork.
Two bits of paperwork to be exact:
1. A vaccination certificate stating that your pet has been vaccinated against rabies, hepatitis, pip and leptospirosis.
2. An official health certificate that must be issued by a veterinarian no more than 72 hours before entering Mexico.
You may enter the country with up to two large pets (dogs or cats). If you want to enter the country with any more than two pets you will need permission, which can be obtained from the Mexican consulate nearest you. In any case, it would be a good idea to go to a Mexican consulate before you leave on your trip to inform them of your plans.
You will be relieved to know that there is no quarantine period required for bringing a pet into Mexico. You must note that airlines have certain restrictions on pet weight and pet size, as well as on pet containers. Furthermore, it would be a good idea to make travel plans well in advance.
