Traveling should be relaxing and exciting, but having to leave a beloved pet at home can cause extra stress for both you and your pet. However, bringing pets to Mexico is easier and more common than you might expect. In fact, you’ll find several options for pet friendly hotels in Loreto, including Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto. By booking a vacation with your furry companion, not only will you not have to wonder how they’re doing while you’re gone, but you’ll be able to walk with them on a beach and explore the city of Loreto together.
What is required to bring a pet into Mexico?
Traveling across international borders with a pet requires a little extra planning and meeting with your local veterinarian. Within 15 days of your flight, you’ll need to ask your vet “What do I need for my pet to travel to Mexico?” They’ll help you fill out a form with your pet’s identification info, rabies vaccine date and validity, confirmation of a preventive treatment against parasites within the last six months, and assurance of overall health. Make sure this is all typed on your veterinarian’s letterhead. Having this all confirmed by your vet within 15 days of travels helps guarantee that all animals crossing the border are healthy, and complying with the rules for how to travel to Mexico with your pet protects other animals as well.
Travel with your Pet to Mexico
Once you’ve got your paperwork in order, you’re ready to travel, and there are multiple options for getting to Loreto, Mexico. Some travelers choose to drive down the Baja Peninsula, splitting the 16-hour trip into two days, and having your own car makes bringing pets to Mexico easy and comfortable. However, there are also great options for how to travel to Mexico with your pet via plane. As you book your tickets, contact the airline to see if your pet can fly in the cabin or if you need to book a space in cargo for them. Either way, it’s important to practice and train your pet to feel comfortable in its kennel. Flying to Mexico means your pet will not be able to use the bathroom at its usual schedule, and most pet owners have success using pee pads as a solution, especially when they incorporate them into their training plan.
