Vaccinations protect your pets from dangerous diseases — but we get it, there’s a lot to understand. At VetPlayas, we’ve answered the most common questions pet parents ask about vaccines for dogs and cats in Baja and beyond.

  • Rabies
  • Feline Herpesvirus (FHV)

🛡️ Are vaccines required by law in Mexico?

Rabies vaccination is required by law in Mexico and also for pets re-entering the U.S. after crossing the border. Other vaccines are not legally required but are **highly recommended** for your pet’s health and safety.

🧪 Are vaccines safe?

Yes. Vaccines used at VetPlayas are approved, vet-grade, and administered with care. Side effects are rare and usually mild — like slight swelling, tiredness, or temporary soreness. We monitor every pet post-injection.

💸 How much do pet vaccines cost in Tijuana?

We offer individual vaccines or full vaccine packages. Prices are far lower than U.S. rates, starting at $X per shot. Ask us about bundling vaccines with your annual wellness plan to save more.

🌍 I’m visiting from the U.S. — will my vet accept your vaccine records?

Yes. Our vaccine certificates are in English/Spanish and include microchip info, batch numbers, and signatures — accepted by most U.S. clinics, groomers, and border agents.
