http://www.aphis.usda.gov/regulations/vs/iregs/animals/downloads/mx_dgs_cts_pro.pdf Hi, every year we usually go to Puerto Vallarta , this year we are going to Isla Mujeres. It seems I can never get a straight answer regarding what is necessary regarding the vet certificate. Now the State Of Connecticut is telling me that since October of this year , that the vet sign off also has to be signed by the USDA, Any input would be of great help
I know for me, coming from PA to Cancun with my Dog, for the last 3 years I have always gotten a USDA approved Vet to do all my paper work, as that was the rules as I was always told. Luckily for me, my old vet in the US was just the person I needed. There is info out in the web regarding the new forms and things. I don't have alot of time at the moment to snoop, but give it a go

I am using a different form, as long as this form has my usda accredited vets letter head and sign off then no problem
