IF YOU TRAVEL WITH YOUR PET FROM THE UNITED STATES OR
CANADA
You should contact official or auxiliary Senasica personnel who will
perform a brief physical inspection of your pet to verify:
• That it shows no signs of infectious or contagious diseases,
• That it is free of parasites*

World Meat Congress

     • That it does not have fresh or healing wounds.
•!

     Note:
     If the physical inspection detects parasites, you should contact a
     veterinary doctor of your choice and at your expense to apply an
     appropriate treatment. In the event ticks are detected, the official or
     auxiliary Senasica personnel will take a sample of the parasite(s) for
     diagnosis in the official laboratory, and verify that all the specimens on
     your pet are removed, holding it in the Agricultural Health Inspection
     Office (OISA) until it is confirmed that these are not specimens exotic for
     Mexico, or subject to a campaign.

     If it does not represent a risk, Senasica through the General Directorate
     of Animal Health will determine the measures to be applied. Any costs
     arising will be at your own expense.

     Introduction of disposable beds and similar materials (diaper, newspaper,
     sawdust, rags, etc.) that accompany the animal(s) is not permitted. Only
     enough balanced feed without ruminant content for the day of arrival is
     permitted.

     Compliance with these provisions does not exempt the person importing
     the animal from complying with procedures required by other authorities
