Why Pet Owners Cross the Border for Vet Care

- Licensed vets, modern equipment, compassionate care

How to Cross the Border with Your Pet
Crossing into Mexico with a pet is easy, especially for short visits:
- Bring a current rabies vaccination certificate
- No quarantine or import permit needed for one pet
- Use a secure carrier or leash at all times
- Re-entry into the U.S. is typically fast with proper documents
(Pro tip: Cross during off-peak hours to save time.)
