Pet Relocation from US to Mexico

Mexico is one of the most accessible international destinations for US pet owners, with relatively simple import requirements. Pets need a health certificate from a USDA-accredited veterinarian and proof of rabies vaccination. Ground crossings at the US-Mexico border are commonly used, making this one of the most affordable international pet relocations.
