Traveling with pets from the United States to Mexico has become easier for dog and cat owners, as Mexico no longer requires a health certificate for these animals. Instead, dogs and cats are inspected by Mexican authorities (SENASICA) upon arrival. However, pet owners should carefully review current entry requirements, as regulations can change without notice. USDA-accredited veterinarians are responsible for ensuring pets meet all destination-country requirements before issuing any necessary documentation.
A significant update involves the detection of New World screwworm (NWS), which has led Mexico to temporarily halt imports of several animal species from the United States, including certain pets and livestock. Additionally, dogs returning to the U.S. from Mexico must comply with USDA and CDC screwworm-related import requirements.
Pet owners should also check airline, cruise line, and transit-country regulations, as these may impose additional requirements. Rabbits remain prohibited from entering Mexico from the U.S. due to disease concerns. Consulting a USDA-accredited veterinarian before travel is strongly recommended.
