Is It OK To Brings Our Dogs?
Moderators:admin, Moderators
My husband and I are planning an extended (4 - 6 months) stay in Puerto Vallarta and surrounding areas next winter. We will be driving down from Canada with our 2 adult male Whippet dogs. Will we have problems with finding places to exercise them?...are dogs allowed on beachs?...are there dog parks?...any particular things we should be aware of regarding attitudes towards dogs? Thank you for any and all suggestions.
I am jealous of your plans.........
I see lots of dogs in Puerto Vallarta. Many owners walk them along the Malecon or play fetch on the beach. People seem to accept dogs, esp clean, well behaved ones. Overall, the Mexican people seem more relaxed about dogs. The rules are looser. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

we've brought our dogs down 4 times. 3 times by air, once by driving. never had a problem on the beach. the dogs also really like the rio cuale. with a vehicle heading up into the jungle is also a lot of fun for the doggies. without pedestrian right of ways in pv, crossing the street in old town can be a little dicey sometimes with dogs in tow. you have to pay attention...
can we take our dog to puerto vallarta
Is there something that you have to do special? I mean I have all the shots that we have to have here and is there something else that we have to get special?
I wondered this same thing and would be so grateful if you could let me know what you did.
thanks

you need a health certificate from the vet no older than 5 days before you cross the border and proof of rabies vaccinations. though driving they just waved us thru the border, at the pv airport they pay a little more attention, though not really, they give a quick glance to the docs then wave you thru. coming back thru us customs is easy as long as you don't bring pet food with you, they'll confiscate and vaporize it.
