Veterinarians in Mexico City, Mexico

Vet recommends...Dr Cesar Duarte 669 108 1187, does house calls, Dr Marcos Cardenas 982 6727, for anything complicated or life threatening. Ticks can be a problem in the summer, I have been treating my guy with Bravecto so no issues with fleas or ticks

Linda McHenry Another copy and paste... 2. Your pet must enter a carrier or container, clean, without bed, without implements or accessories (toys, sweets, prizes or other objects, made with ingredients of ruminant origin), otherwise they will be removed for destruction. The carrier or container will receive preventive treatment by sprinkling by the official staff of SAGARPA-SENASICA; You can enter with your necklace, strap, etc. . https://www.gob.mx/senasica/acciones-y-programas/si-viajas-con-tu-perro-o-gato-56614

Tractor Supply, TSC, has vet clinics once a month where you can get animals looked at reasonably. Check to see if the one near you or near where you cross the border do the travel documents.

Update!!: Critter Care in Laredo charges $35 for visit and $25 for certificate!!

Try Stark Street vet in Gresham. It's a ride, but he's very reasonable. Address: 3030 NE Hogan Dr # F, Gresham, OR 97030 Phone: (503) 667-6963

I'm starting to put NOTB vets right up there with lawyers and politicians.

Not South Padre, but would Harlingen work? My mom takes her dogs here, call and see if they can accommodate you http://www.altaspalmas.com

We drove from MA to San Miguel de Allende with our cat. She was great. We got her a really comfy carrier (i.e. Sleepypod) and she barely made a peep. We drove 8 hours daily and she would "hold it" until we got to our hotel. La Quinta let's you have a cat for free. Some places charge a fee. You need to take your cat to a vet right before leaving to get a health certificate and make sure all shots are current.

Many hotels OK with one pet in a carrier. The auto hotels (specialty hotel for romantic couples) are supposed tro be very good about accepting pets. I have not stayed in one yet but previous posts saying this were from people who had stayed in these hotels. Once you start looking for the words auto hotel you will notice they are everywhere. My personal experience so far is that buying cat food is not like in the states. Maybe only two brands offered. And the bags are very small. I have yet to find a 20 pound bag of cat food. I recently found Fresh Step cat litter at a WalMart in Tuxtla Gutierrez. Bigger more touristy cities may have a better selection.

Just a head's up. Some border crossings insist there is no need to fill out or turn in the FMM. I tried twice at Piedras Negras and the agent refused to do it.
