Making Mexico Pet Relocation Easy!

LATAM’s experts will help you navigate the bureaucracy and documentation requirements for importing or exporting your pets in Mexico.

After arriving Mexico City, our pets await clearance in their own runs large enough to exercise, as well as being fed and watered. Mexican Customs clearance can take several hours, and pets on flights arriving after 2pm each day will be cleared the next morning. During the waiting time, LATAM’s customers will enjoy the only on-site and bonded kennel at Mexico City’s International Airport!

Our Mexico pet transport service includes:

  • Assistance with health certificates, import permits, and all travel documents and consular legalization (when needed)
  • Transport to the airport and assistance until check-in if the pet is traveling as excess baggage with owner
  • IATA approved travel crates and guidance on the size of crate to use for each pet
  • Management of the process to export pets as cargo
    Broker services are needed in Latin American countries to export pets.
  • For exports – home pick up and tender to the airline
  • For imports – customs clearance and delivery to client’s residence
  • Travel consultation and flight reservations
  • Boarding services

Convenient Overnight Accommodations at Mexico City!
No more waiting in a hot warehouse inside your shipping crate!  LATAM pets enjoy waiting inside a huge run while they await the Mexican Customs clearance.  Below are two happy pets that just arrived from the USA.

What Our Customers Say

Pet Mojo Moved from Europe to Mexico

Hello,

Mojo is safe and travelling with us through beautiful Mexico, we’re 800km from Cancun, our final destination.
Adriana was simply amazing in her communications and care. From paperwork to keeping us up-to-date with Mojo’s whereabouts to offering us water and tissues to clean Mojo on arrival.  I have absolutely zero remarks and will not hesitate to ask you to fly Mojo back to Europe in two years.

Best,
Jan, Kundry and Mojo

Latam Pet Transport helped us transport our dog from US to Mexico in a simple and clear manner with excellent customer service. They were very flexible when we had to change travel dates and gave us great tips to make this process go smoothly. During the trip we were constantly in contact with them and we knew where our dog was. We will use them again if we have to transport our animals to Latin America.

Thank you! We are all very happy to be here and to be together again. We will definitely recommend all of you to others. You made this move very easy for all of us.

Best Regards,

Freda and Pablo’s Trip to Mexico

I wanted take this time to sincerely and humbly thank you and your entire team in getting my dogs into Mexico safely and gently. When they arrived they were in good spirits and well taken care of and for this I am forever grateful. I must also apologize for my constant correspondence, nagging and impatience, but as you can imagine my dogs are truly like my children and I lose sleep at the mere idea of them being uncomfortable… However, your communications and diligence in assuring me along the way was absolutely invaluable…

Once again – – – THANK YOU!!!

Sincerely,
Malcolm
