2-DOG LIMIT PER VEHICLE~NEW LAW (?)
We were notified at the Tecate border a few days ago (headed south) that there is a new law that limits the number of dogs one can have in a vehicle
to TWO. We happen to travel with 4 dogs, three of them former street dogs (one each from La Purisima, Cataviņa and Loreto).
We were allowed to cross "this time", but told we would be turned away in the future.
Next time I guess I'll have to walk across with two, while my husband drives across with the other two...

I wonder if this is a border issue, or if you will have problems further south?
I haven't run into a whole lot of people that travel with four dogs, but wonder if anyone else has encountered this policy at other border crossings
stations.
Did they check all four dogs papers work? I travel with one dog, and in four trips I have never been asked for her health certificate or shot records
by Mexican or US agents.
By the way, how did this wind up under Baja recipes?

What could possibly be the reasoning behind this law?

I wonder if they count cats? When we have the dogs (2) we always have the cats (2) too. The cats are in carriers.

Glad I didn't notice this was posted under "Baja Recipes" when I first opened it. Otherwise it would have been incomprehensible.

maybe this isn't new? this from some mexico travel site called "about travel"
You may or may not be asked to present these documents, but you should have them with you just in case. You are allowed to enter with up to two dogs
or cats. If you will be traveling to Mexico with more animals, you should contact the Mexican consulate or embassy nearest you for more information.

Sounds like it's time to start hiding dogs.

And, if they are wrapped in bacon, you are really in trouble!!
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

I think I have figured this out! When asked for the dogs paperwork, they accidentally produced recipes. They were lucky to be allowed into the
country!

OP HERE. After crossing the border, we had no problems on our drive south to Loreto with four dogs. In our many years of driving the peninsula with
our canine companions, we have not once been asked for dog papers, yet we always have them available just in case.
Twice we have been saved a terrible fate by our furry friends, and we will never travel without them:
Once while camped on Coronados Island (when it was still allowed), our two dogs went wild at 3:00 AM and broke through the tent screen, barking and
running towards the water. We turned on a spotlight just in time to stop two pangueros from stealing our boat! They had rowed silently in to the
cove, but the dogs heard them. When our spotlight hit them; they dropped our anchor rope, started their engine and zoomed off.
The other time, we were camped in our land cruiser with the tailgate down, in the beach dunes south of San Quintin. Our dogs were asleep on their bed
on the tailgate, when, at 3:30 AM they
leaped off of the tailgate onto and after two men, one of whom had a club in hand. The men fled, and once again our furry friends saved us from a
likely unpleasant disaster.
And last, as to how this post got put into recipes, I was looking at the potato soup before I posted this. Oops! I only look at Today's Posts and
forgot there were ways to segregate topics. Sorry. I don't know how to fix it.

It's in 'recipes' because of the new cook book, "100 Ways to Wok Your Dog".

The correct forum
I see that this thread got moved to Questions and Answers, but it did provide some diversion for a rainy (northern CA) afternoon!
I would still like to know if the two pet limit applies to how many can be brought into Baja, or how many are legal to have in the vehicle.
I can see local police looking for a 'Mordida' using our pets to extort money if there is such a law on the books
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
