bringing a pet to mexico

Started September 3, 2007 · 10,117 views · 3 posts
I would like to bring my Chihuahua, Lupe, to Mexico with me from the US. Can someone enlighten me on the process? Quarantine on either end? I believe American Airlines will let her travel for a fee, but my biggest concern is getting her in and out of each country.

Go to the PV Transportation section and there is a good link on how to fly with pets . Here is some info on when you arrive in Mexico .

U.S. visitors to Mexico may bring a dog or cat by presenting the following certificates at the border:

- a pet health certificate signed by a registered veterinarin in the United States and issued not more than 72 hours before the animal enters Mexico; and
- a pet vaccination certificate showing that the animal has been treated for rabies, hepatitis, pip and leptospirosis.

Certification by Mexican consular authorities is not required for the health or vaccination certificate. A permit fee is charged at the time of entry into Mexico.

Good luck with your trip . :)
Yes, she is a lucky girl. Her mom wants to be with her all the time. She has 24/7 human companionship. I live close to my mom so she is my doggy day care. I drop her off and pick her up daily. Thanks much for the info.
