From the FWIW category .. Kinda funny how things change yet everything stays the same ...
When we were doing "the drive" to/from 5-6 times per year with our 2 dogs and 2 cats .. <all now in heaven> as well as numerous flights ... we
were occassionally asked about health certs/rabies certs which had to be issued within 48 hrs of travel ..
But first 2 comments - (1) our pets health was never compromised - we made sure all vaccinations were current. (2) We are not suggestting someone do
something ummmm...... welll .... wrong or against the law ...
I seem to recall there were templates available online .. nuf said ...
As always do hope this is helpful. We really miss our furbabies ...

Exactly the 'procedure' we followed for the past 30 years of travel to Baja. Our 'veterinarian' is especially accommodating, sometimes coming over and
signing the forms in the wee hours of the morning.
We never compromised the health of our pets, nor the folks and animals that came in contact with them in Baja.

Mood: Enjoying Life with Wife In Mexico, Easy on The Easy

Diana T, I had always used Vets in the U.S.A. but when our boxer got ran over when she ran off during pre-fourth of July fireworks set off by some
neighbors her leg got broken. The Vet in Brawley took X-rays and then wanted me to take the dog all the way to San Diego to another Vet that was
going to cost me $5,000 to fix the leg. My friend at work had already called me about a great Vet in Mexicali that could fix the leg, so I asked for
the X-rays that I just paid $100 dollars for but was told I could not have them. I was told I had to tell them what Vet I was going to and they would
give the X-ray information over the phone to the other Vet. I told them B.S., as I paid for the X-rays, so please give them to me and I was going to a
Vet in Mexicali. They said they could not release X-rays that way and not to take dog to Mexicali, so I will never use them again what a rip-off.
Now, the good part to the story is that the Vet in Mexicali had to put in a pin to hold the leg together, kept our boxer for 3 days, gave us medicine
to give her when we brought her back across the border and total cost was $450 including new X-rays along with new rabies shot also. Vet was very much
into keeping our dog alive and keeping her out of as much pain as he could. That was 9 years ago and she had puppies the next year and all good with
her. She died this past month of old age as she was 14 years old human years. We even took the puppies down to him to have their tails docked and ears
fixed, which came to less than $20 dollars a puppy so 5 cost me $100 a great deal and great service. Vet in Mexicali has a real heart for animals and
he called us several times after he had operated on our dog when she broke her leg and any future dogs will always go down to him. Do not have his
card on me but if anyone needs this Vet I will get it when I return to Brawley from my stay here in Mexico next week. Just U2U me for Vet name and
address. Take Care and Travel Safe---------------'No Hurry, No Worry, Just FUN" bajafun777

US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.

Immigration at the airport in San Jose del Cabodemands a 1 year vaccination certificate. In Canada, they only give 3 year vacs so I have been
hassled the last few times I brought La Chica into Mexico especially by the women officers. She will be due again in the Spring and I will have her
vaccinated in Mexico rather than risk being denied entry. Immigration also has the option to call in a Mexican vet and have the dog vaccinated on
your dime.

Welcome to BajaNomad, BC, and thanks for the info.
All of their inflexibility only justifies making your own certs. I mean, it's not like you don't want to immunize your pet. Do what you have to do.

One has to ask...
Are there laws requiring Mexicans to inoculate their pets?
Are they enforced?

I have brought many "dogs" , some worse looking then others, in from US without incident . Don't understand why the Guatemala girls should be
profiled.

Yes, even those "dogs" would have trouble. Mexico and Guatemala do not get along very well.
Bajafun, thanks and we will contact you if we need the service-we have heard there are some very good vets in Mexicali.
