Dogs are no big deal crossing back into the USA with the vet paperwork. If worried, get them a passport!

Last June entering the US at Tecate we were pulled over to secondary when they saw our dog. They then pulled on their rubber gloves and gingerly took
from us an UNOPENED bag of dry dog food and threw it in the garbage can. Mexico does not have the same standards in making dog food as the US does,
we were told. Even though it was an American brand!! Never asked us for vacccination papers. Those papers don't do you much good if you are down
here for 8 or 9 months like we are---they are supposed to be current within a few weeks, I believe.

Different standards
We crossed at Tecate last month, they commented if we had papers for our dog. We did, we were sent on our way without any other checking. We carry
US dog food and always stash a few days supply in a different place from the bag to insure we have enough to get home.

You never know I guess. Crossed at Tecate a couple of weeks ago and after the first couple of normal questions the lady commented "what a cute dog,
you can go". No checks for food, paper work etc

It is good to get a dog lover at the crossing. While waiting in line at Tecate, John puts little crabby Maggie on his lap and she takes care of the
vendors. Then for the customs people, we bring big old friendly Thomas forward who wants to make friends with everyone. Works, sometimes. 
We did have them check dog food once----never the same.

dog crossing
I crossed Tecate southbound last month and TJ northbound a few weeks ago with my pup. Had an intl. health certificate from the vet & rabies
documentation. Mexico couldn't care less. US customs never inquired. Was nice to have them, though, just in case.

To all the relevant and humorous comments I only add that the dog has to be smart. It has to identify good people and children from bad people and it
has to be able to pretend that all officials are very good people.
A dumb dog will get you into trouble.
