Requirements for Taking Your Pet to Mexico from the UK
1. Veterinary Travel Certification (3915EHC)
To travel with your dog or cat from the UK to Mexico, you’ll need a Veterinary Travel Certificate. This certificate must be approved by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) and signed by an Official Veterinarian (OV), specifically trained and authorised to complete Export Health Certificates.
2. Vaccination against Rabies
Mexico requires your pet to have a valid rabies vaccination. This vaccination must be administered at least 15 days but no more than 12 months before travel. The vaccination certificate must be attached to the Export Health Certificate.
3. Notifiable disease clearence
The Export Health Certificate must confirm that no cases of rabies, except those due to European Bat Lyssavirus (EBL1 or EBL2), have been reported in the UK in the last 3 years.
4. Clinical Examination
Your pet must undergo a clinical examination by a vet no more than 48 hours before your trip. The vet will ensure your pet is healthy and fit to travel.
Once all these requirements are met, we provide you with the necessary Export Health Certificate to make your travel stress-free.
Just remember: additional certifications may be necessary if travelling through other countries. Don't worry though: we can help with this too!
