People seem happy with kennel and vet options. Mexico has a huge dog-walking industry, so you'll regularly see professional dog-walkers out and about with up to 10 dogs at a time. - May 2017
No quarantine necessary, but there are regulations on paperwork, vaccinations, etc., just like most places. I believe there are good vets, we have not had to use one yet. - Sep 2016
Nearby is a newly opened dog hotel (NUUGI). There are pet stores (+kota), and many people have pets. I don't know the procedures regarding taking animals to Mexico. Note: there are no fenced parks. - Jun 2016
No. We have a good vet who makes house calls, but our poor dog hates Polanco; no good parks and super dirty. - May 2016
No quarantine, and yes, there are excellent vets who will come to your home at a much lower cost than a U.S. vet would charge. Very easy to get pets in and out of the country. There are kennels but we haven't used them. Most are on the outskirts of the city where there is more open land and dogs run around outside during the day. - Oct 2014
No. GREAT vet & boarders!! - Aug 2014
I don't know, we don't have pets but I see many vets offices around. - Mar 2014
There are lots of vets, and they often provide kenneling services. Exotic pets and vets are available, but you will have to do a fair amount of research/phone calls to find out who. The internet is not great for discovering service providers in general. - Dec 2013
