Please share your experience with me of entering Mexico with your large dog. (Of all the anxieties I have regarding our journey, crossing the border with our big guy is the greatest by far...:)
We will cross at Laredo, over night in Matehuala, then home to Lake Chapala.
Excited but nervous....
Thanks in advance to those who share.

Just crossed at Tijuana on Saturday, July 25 with my 2 dogs on the way to Rosarito. I had a health certificate for each one from my vet issued within 5 days of crossing, which I had read you needed. We drove right through, nobody asked for anything. I was told yesterday, however, that to get back into the U.S., the border guards will most likely need to see the health certificates.

You should ask your vet in USA (Canada?) to provide a post-dated health certificate so that it is dated within 3 days of when you will enter Mexico. IN years of crossing, we have never been asked...but then who knows.
To return to USA, you get a health certificate letter from Vet in Chapala. Again...we have never been asked but ...who knows.
