UPDATE 6/10/26 at 11:10 AM ET: USDA/APHIS has modified its list of species restricted from traveling to Mexico amid the New World screwworm response. Pet dogs are no longer included on the restricted list and may travel to Mexico under previously established procedures.
Restrictions remain in place for other affected species, and dogs entering the U.S. from Mexico still require screwworm inspection/certification.
Original post below:
‼️USDA-APHIS has halted the export of pet dogs and several other animal species to Mexico amid confirmed United States New World screwworm detections.
Veterinary teams should continue monitoring for suspicious wounds, educating clients, and reporting suspected cases to the appropriate animal health authorities.
