I got an email from TVMA about the entry and re-entry of dogs from other countries (including Mexico) rabies requirements. Basically our clients shouldn't take theri dogs with them out of country unless they are ready to jump through multiple hoops. These are CDC rules. The rules include - the dog has to be 6 months old. The rabies certificate has to be approved by the USDA and in some places it says the dog has to have its titer done by a CDC approved lab. AVMA provides some guidance here - https://www.avma.org/blog/avma-resource-helps-decode-new-dog-importation-rules Basically don't take your dogs on trips to Mexico. The rules do not apply to cats. Read the comments on the AVMA page to see what people are saying about the new rule which takes effect August 1, 2024. .
Are you prepared for the new federal importation regulations that take effect August 1 for all dogs entering and re-entering the United States?
