Bringing dog from Mexico to Canada, driving.

[BobsYourUncle]

Thought this forum would be most appropriate place to ask this:

My brother moved to Cabo about 5 years ago, bought a house, lives there.

A little over a year ago he rescued a little puppy that somebody tossed into a garbage bin, barely weaned. It's now full grown and his best companion. Unknown mixed breed, likely from a street dog, about 75 pounds now.

Soon, he will be selling his home and moving back to Canada, driving up the Baja, through Tijuana to California and north into Canada.

Obviously, he will have whatever documentation he can for the dog, make sure his shots are current etc.

Does anyone know what process he will have to go through to import the dog? Will it have to be quarantined? If so, for how long, and where?
Is there any specific papers he should seek out and have for the animal?
What can be done to streamline the process?

Thanks in advance.

Did they share the driving duties.

I wonder what the the border guys would think....

My brother teaches the dog to drive, brother is asleep in the back. Dog pulls up to the gate with his F150 pulling a trailer.

What is your destination? Woof, arf woof arf arf!! (Canada)
Border guard: Papers please. Arf wooffffff... (they are on the dash)
Thank you sir, drive safe and have a good day!

I personally wouldn't let the dog drive.

I would have to agree.

One duck encounter could ruin your whole trip. 🙂

Dog has really long legs. Easy to reach the pedals!

We brought a Mexican cat to Canada. No problems. The Vet printed out a fancy health certificate. Even had his Vet seal and a photo of the cat. We called it her passport!

I can just imagine if the dog drove all the way from Mexico to Canada, how many rest stops, trees and fire hydrants that would take?
