For anyone considering traveling into Mexico with their pets. Although New World Screwworms have been found only in Texas, the new rules for screening pets before travel into Mexico apply for the entire border.
Starting August 3, pet dogs and birds traveling to Mexico will need new inspection certificates due to New World screwworm detections in the U.S., though, pet cats remain exempt. The requirement follows Mexico's broader restrictions on U.S. livestock and other species imports since June.
