🚨 PSA: The requirements to bring your dog into Mexico have changed! 🚨

As of August 3rd, health certificates are now required for dogs that are crossing the border into Mexico. Cats are still exempt from requiring a health certificate on either side of the border.

This health certificate requires that your pet be examined in-person by a veterinarian no more than five days before your border crossing. If you are taking a road trip that may last a few days, or are expecting delays, you may want to consider having this exam done in a state that you will be passing through on your way.

Unfortunately, this is not replacing the screwworm freedom certification that is required when you are bringing your dog back into the United States. Dogs still must also be examined by a veterinarian in Mexico to ensure that they are screwworm-free within five days of re-entry to the US.

International travel requirements for pets can change quickly and without much notice— be sure to plan ahead, and please feel welcome to reach out to us with any questions!

Collars and ID tags are important, but they can fall off or become damaged. A microchip provides a permanent form of identification that stays with your pet for life. If your dog or cat ever gets lost, a quick scan at a veterinary clinic or animal shelter can help reunite you with your family much faster.

Just remember: a microchip only works if your contact information is kept up to date! It's a simple, safe step that offers peace of mind and greatly improves the chances of a happy reunion if your pet ever wanders away.

If you've been seeing more coyotes lately, you're not imagining it!

June through August is when parents are raising hungry pups and teaching them how to hunt, so they're on the move more often, even during daylight hours. You may also spot family groups traveling together.

To keep your pets safe:
• Keep dogs on a short leash, especially at dawn and dusk.
• Keep cats indoors.
• Remove fallen fruit and outdoor pet food.
• If you encounter a coyote, stand tall, make noise, and never run.

A little awareness goes a long way toward keeping both pets and wildlife safe!

It's foxtail season! While it may seem fun for your pets to romp in the tall, dry grass of summer, be aware that something less fun may hitch a ride home with them!

Foxtails are the sharp seed part of the grass that spreads by hooking on to animals passing through. This makes them particularly great at tagging along uninvited and can imbed themselves in uncomfortable places. Check your pet's fur, paws, and, yes, even noses for these barbed seeds.

Dr. Meyers removed a whole foxtail from Milo's left nostril after his mom suspected he had snuffed one up. Way to go, mom, you were absolutely right!
