Some Important Tips

Living in Mexico with PetsIf domestic help will be spending a lot of time with your pet, make sure they are well-informed. One cannot be too pedantic in this respect. For a start, set a consistent feeding schedule. Also make sure your dog has a set walking routine, and make sure your dog is getting the right amount of exercise it needs. You should also explain to your domestic help how to walk the dog, when and how to bathe it, and any other little tips that will go a long way toward making sure your dog remains healthy.

 

One important thing to watch out for in Mexico is the stray dogs (and cats) that abound both in the city and smaller towns. One would have noticed while traveling in Mexico the number of dogs lying on the side of any road—dead or alive. The most important first step is to make sure your dog has the right vaccination, especially rabies, which is mandatory and must be administered annually.

 

Dogs are also expected to receive shots for hepatitis, distemper (moquillo), parvo virus, and leptospirosis. Cats are expected to have panlucopinia vaccines for feline leukemia. Both dogs and cats should be further treated for parasites.

Bringing a Horse to Mexico

A horse is a rather different kettle of fish, so to speak, and the requirements are more detailed. Check the Import Health Requirements for Importing Horses to Mexico from the USA PDF for more details.  

Leaving Mexico

Once again, we suggest you check with the apropriate embassy or consulate before leaving the country. They will inform you of the exact paperwork requirements you will need to complete. Similar principles will apply upon exiting as exist upon entering. You'll need a certificate of vaccination against rabies, and also a certificate of health signed and sealed by a veterinarian five to ten days before your departure from Mexico. Before departing from the country you will have to check in to SAGAR (the Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, and Rural Development) which will give you the necessary export license after a brief visual inspection of your dog. There will be no cost for this license for up to two dogs or cats.
