Pet travel from Germany to Mexico

Your pet’s characteristics, carrier and itinerary determine how we prepare the journey.

Documents and preparation for entering Mexico
For dogs and cats arriving from the European Union, SENASICA specifies a health certificate issued no more than 15 days previously, in original and copy. It must identify the animal, exporter and importer, give the departure and Mexican stay addresses, and record health status, applicable rabies vaccination and parasite treatments. The airline may require additional documents or a shorter validity window.
For departure from Germany, review Mexican documents with your veterinarian and, where needed, the Veterinäramt. Give the actual departure location and choose MEX or MTY.
- Consistent identification of the animal, owner or accompanying person in certificates and reservations.
- A valid health certificate, original and copy, including the veterinarian’s professional details and departure and destination addresses.
- Rabies vaccination details according to age and applicable conditions, and internal and external parasite treatment within the previous six months.
- Document and physical checks by SENASICA on arrival and processing of the import zoosanitary certificate (CZI).
- Mexican airport MEX or MTY, a suitable carrier and explicit acceptance by the operating airline.

Dogs and cats: individual preparation
Species, breed, age, health, weight and carrier dimensions affect the options. PETC means travel in the cabin; AVIH means carriage in the conditioned hold on the accompanying traveller’s flight. We propose an option only when the operating airline accepts that animal and itinerary.
Arrival through MEX or MTY
Our air service in Mexico is limited to MEX, Benito Juárez International Airport in Mexico City, and MTY, Monterrey International Airport. SENASICA arrival checks must be prepared. Tell us about any onward ground destination for a separate assessment; this service does not offer flights to other Mexican airports.

Questions before you travel
Answers to common questions about documents, preparation and accompanied travel.
Which Mexican airports can you fly to?
Exclusively MEX in Mexico City and MTY in Monterrey. The airport and animal’s acceptance are confirmed for the actual itinerary. Any onward ground journey needs a separate assessment.
Is an EU pet passport sufficient?
Do not assume it is. For arrival from Europe, we check the health certificate required by SENASICA and applicable documents. A passport may provide background records but does not automatically replace the certificate or inspection.
When should the health certificate be issued?
For origins such as the EU, SENASICA specifies a maximum age of 15 days. An airline may require a shorter window. We coordinate issue with the arrival date and any additional requirements.
Can my pet travel in the cabin or accompanied in the hold?
We assess PETC or AVIH with an accompanying person on the same flight, according to the animal, breed, carrier and operating airline. A published route does not confirm a place. We do not offer manifest-cargo transport.
What happens if there are stopovers?
Every transit country and airline must be checked alongside Mexican requirements. A stopover may change the documents needed or the feasibility of the itinerary; this should be confirmed before booking.
