What Do You Need to Transport Your Pet to Mexico?

The rabies vaccination must be greater than 30 days old and remain valid at the time of entry into Mexico and given by a Government Accredited Vet. 

A 3-year vaccine can also be accepted. 

Please Note: Your pet should be older than 12 weeks old at the time of their first rabies vaccine. After this, there is no waiting period to arrive to Mexico. 

Depending on your country of origin, your pet's vaccinations must follow the manufacturer's guidelines, be at least 14–21 days old, and remain valid at the time of export. Even if your country does not require them, we highly recommend general vaccinations to ensure your pet's safety during travel.

For Dogs:

• DHPP+L: Protects against Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza, and Leptospirosis.
• Bordetella (Kennel Cough): Should be given within the last 6 months.

For Cats:

• FVRCP: Protects against Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia.

These vaccines help protect your pet from common diseases, ensuring a safer travel experience.

If ticks are found on your dog or cat during customs inspection, samples will be taken and sent to an official lab for testing. Based on the results, authorities may require additional procedures.

Required Treatments:
