mexican rabies vaccination in california

greta-inbaja - 2-11-2014 at 05:15 PM

Hello,
For those that travel with dogs. I was just told that if I get my dog's initial rabies shot in Mex,.. California doesn't recognize it and she would have to be revaccinated. The mexico vaccination does get her across the border but supposedly does not meet california rules. Some of you that bring back mexidogs, What has your experience been?
Thanks

All 4 of my pets (2 cats, 2 dogs) have current MX rabies vaccinations, never been asked for vac records driving across. Flown several times and never an issue as long as they were current (1 year in MX).

The states is every 2 years. Mex every year. My vet said after 3 sets of shots it is very unlikely that a dog will get rabies

Never been an issue for me. The shot record is all they want to see. I doubt the inspectors know what they're looking at anyway.
