Animal Health Certificates

makana.gabriel - 12-14-2010 at 09:57 AM

We are driving to Cabo the day after Christmas with our cat.
I have a health certificate for him issued from the State of Hawaii dated 9/10 when we brought him over. Does anyone know if that is still considered valid or if I have to get a new one prior to crossing?

Nope.....it has to be current....I believe dated not more than 5-days before crossing.

Edit: Try a search for dog or animal health certificates....there have been several posts containing current information over the past 2-3 months.

I'd just put my cats in our suitcases, save a buck or two.

Never ever in 20 plus years of traveling this peninsula, crosiing the border headed north or south, have I ever been asked for a "health" certificate. The only requirement is a current rabies certificate. As a matter of fact i don't know anyone that has ever been asked about their cats or dogs.

One site I looked at said 10 days before entering. I have never been asked either but murphy's law tells me that if I don't have it they will ask me. Welcome! nancy

Just tell them that the cats are for the Chinese restaurant.

Thanks for the welcome Blanca, my hubby has stayed at your facilities on a couple of occasions, loves the fishing and your hospitality.
