New dog requirements
I've been reading that there are new requirements (paperwork) for dogs in Mexico, but I can't seem to find the information. Is this a Mexico
requirement or for coming back into the US? I've always taken a vet clearance and never been asked for it. I would rather be safe than sorry. Where do
I find the requirements?

As many have reported, it is not being enforced for Mexico since there is no rabies epidemic there.

No enforcement so far. It is easy to have the filled out form just in case.

It is for entry into the US from Mexico with new CDC regulations and a form that needs to be filled out online. It is being enforced sporadically by
CBP. Quite extensive threads on it on FB if interested simply requires a chip, a rabies shot proof, older than 6 months and form filled out. I would
say no big deal our dog was already up to date.

Just printed off the form and had our vet fill it out. They were all unaware of the new regs.

the import form is very simple for owner to complete. You dont need your vet to complete the form.
Woke!

Mexico is considered a low-risk country for bringing dogs into the US. Here are the requirements.
https://www.cdc.gov/importation/dogs/rabies-free-low-risk-co...
"CDC Dog Import Form:
Complete the form online. A receipt will be emailed to you upon submission of the form. You can print the receipt or show it on your phone.
Instructions on how to fill out the form."
(links on the page)
Also, from the bottom of the page:
"In addition to having a receipt for a CDC Dog Import Form:
Dogs must appear healthy upon arrival.
Dogs must be at least 6 months old at time of entry or return to the U.S.
Dogs must have a microchip that can be detected with a universal scanner to identify them."
I bet the border guards will be lenient for a while.......maybe.

Just went to the CDC link and Mexico isn't even on the list of high risk countries. I guess that's government for you.

That's because Mexico is not a high risk country.

That's good that mexico is not on the high rish country list!
Love those scientists that make lists, and check them twice!
CDC, one of my favorite agencies!
Any agency gives rise to celebrity scientist aint bad in my book. We need more celebrity scientists, fewer celebrity pols and soldiers!

No Action
We've crossed twice very recently at Mexicali west SENTRI, no one could care less, and they were aware that we had a dog.
