All animals entering Mexico require a health certificate issued by the country of origin and have an international certificate of vaccination against rabies, or proof of vaccination if the vaccination was carried out less than 1 year prior to entry into Mexico.

Valid health certificate

• Either APHIS Form 7001 (pdf) Vet Health Certificate
• OR a certificate of good health issued by a veterinarian and printed on letterhead (handwritten documents are not accepted) in English and Spanish with the vet's professional license number or a photocopy of the license, and the vet's signature. Take the original and a simple copy.

When you arrive in Mexico with your pet, SAGARPA-SENASICA (Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries, and Food) personnel will conduct a brief physical inspection and verify that your pet is in compliance with the above requirements.

 Valid rabies vaccination certificate

Proof of rabies vaccine administered at least 15 days before the pet's arrival in Mexico. The vaccination certificate should state when the vaccine was administered and how long it is valid, as well as the product name and lot number.

Airline And Aircraft Pet Policies For Travel:

Airlines have different pet policies, and it is important to check that you are adhering to the guidelines of the airlines you are flying with. There are a variety of animals that can be brought on board, but it is important to know what type of animal you have so that you can take the appropriate measures when bringing them through security.

As you walk through the airport, keep in mind that most airports have large animal-holding areas. You may be required to clean up after your pet before coming on board.

Dogs: You must provide a health certificate from your vet, issued within 20 days of your flight, that states the dog's vaccination and medical history. Dogs may only fly in the cargo compartment of the plane. There is limited seating available for dogs (no more than 2 per row) and they must be carried on the plane.

You must have a carrier or cage that can fit in the overhead bin on board your flight and is able to withstand air pressure changes during takeoff and landing. A pet carrier that is sturdy enough for your pet must be checked as baggage.

The carrier must be strong enough to hold your pet without causing injury or disrupting its normal behavior. You can only carry a small number of animals in the cabin with you per flight, as follows: When traveling with one pet* it's allowed to fly in the cabin with you at no charge. Two pets are allowed to travel in the same carrier if they are not aggressive towards each other and there is space available.

Cats; are allowed to travel in the cabin with you at no charge.

Cats, Small Pets and Large Pets can fly in a kennel or carrier, or as an express service at $200 each.

A third option is "family" memberships which allow up to three members of the same family to travel together. The cost for family memberships is $300 each. Pets must be 25 pounds or less, and pets traveling in a kennel or carrier must not exceed 22 x 17 x 16 inches. Pets that are too large for the system will have to be transported as baggage at $100 each.

Birds: If your flight will be more than five hours, you'll need to bring your bird in a cage that is no larger than 13 x 13 x 13 inches and caged separately from other animals. Carry-on bags must not exceed 7.5 linear inches (length + width + depth) and must fit within an overhead bin or under the seat in front of you.

If there are items that exceed these dimensions, they will be classified as baggage and will cost $100 each way

Fish: Yes, as long as they are not in liquid or gaseous form and do not make excessive noise or require an expensive container.

Check with your airline for rules on bringing fish. Fish cannot travel in people's checked luggage but may travel with you onboard the plane if they can't be boxed.

Mexico is a perfect destination for your next family vacation with your pets. There are many reasons why this is true but here are the top three:

Mexico Airline Rules for Bringing Pets and What You Need To Know Before You Fly

Mexico is one of the most popular destinations for tourists and people who want to explore the country. But what if you are a pet owner?

Yes, it can be difficult to travel with a pet. But don't worry, there are certain rules that Mexico Airline offers for passengers who want to bring their pets with them.

The first thing you need to know before flying with your pet is that you need to have their vaccination certificate or an international passport. You also need to know that the airline will not allow any animal in the cabin or cargo hold if it has a respiratory infection, fever or diarrhea. The airline that you are flying with may have health requirements.

You will have to check ahead of time the airline policies regarding animals. Make sure that your pet is healthy and can fly safely on the airplane before taking them on your flight. Most people choose to take their pet on a direct flight, but some do choose to fly with an animal cargo carrier or by train instead of taking them as carry-on luggage.

If you are going to transport your pet by air, make sure to take them on a direct flight so that your pet will have the most comfort.

Transporting Pets by Car

Some people choose to drive cross-country with their pets instead of flying and it is just as safe to do so as long as you follow all the necessary safety measures, like making sure your pet doesn’t escape or end up in the car’s wheel well during transport. Make sure to check with state animal transport laws in regard to transporting animals.

What You Should Pack For Your Pet Traveling Trip

When you are traveling pets abroad here are a few things that you should always pack when you are traveling with your pet.

The first thing that is important to pack is a carrier. This can be anything from a soft-sided carrier to an airline approved hard-sided carrier. It is important to make sure that the carrier has enough room for your pet and their accessories. You also need to make sure that it will not get punctured or ripped by sharp objects in your bag.

Another thing that you should bring with you when traveling with pets is food and water bowls, food, treats, medications, and toys for the duration of the trip. Make sure to also include any medicines or dietary supplements in this list as well as they may need these while they are away from home just like humans do!

A final thing that you will want to include in your luggage is any items that are a priority for the cats or dogs. For example, if one of the animals has a kidney condition, then you will want to bring any pain medications and other medications necessary.

Some people also recommend taking their favorite blanket or pillow with them, so they don’t feel too lonely while they are away from home.

If your family is going on a trip to Mexico and it’s going to be the first time for your pet, here are some suggestions for making the Mexico trip less scary.

1. Buy your pet a small, toy to keep in their mouth while they are traveling so, they can chew it and feel safe.

2. Bring a few cans of food and some bowls with lids for your pet to take their meals in (so the food doesn’t go flying everywhere).

3. Put some toys stuffed with treats in the bottom of your suitcase (or somewhere on board) to keep them from getting bored during the trip.

4. At the airport, buy a large sized bag of kibble from a pet store and stuff some in there for your pet to eat on the way home. It's much cheaper than food on board and you will have your own fresh food to snack on if you don't have time for meals or just feel like not eating at all (something I've found myself doing many times).

5. Put a few bags of kibble in your checked baggage if possible, so they can eat when you're not around. It's a good idea to have these on board with your other food supplies too, as sometimes it can take up to an hour for them to be delivered so it's better if they are already in hand.

6. Try and get your dogs used to the plane by taking them on walks outside the terminal before you fly, and inside if possible. This will help build trust between you both and make boarding much more easier (even though most dogs don't like flying).
