Hermosillo - Post Report Question and Answers
Are qualified veterinarians and/or good kennel services available? Do animals need to be quarantined upon entry to the country? Are there other considerations regarding pets that are particular to this country?
I adopted a cat while in Hermosillo, so I can't attest to the shipping conditions, but veterinary care is abundant, high quality, and affordable. - Aug 2026
The vet that's trusted by most consulate members insisted on taking a colleague's cat's blood from the neck. That was all I needed to know I never wanted to go to him. There are no quarantines, no border checks on the Mexican side, and no permits needed to bring pets into Mexico. - Jun 2025
I don't have a pet so can't speak personally about this. People at post have been happy with the vet care and kennel service. When I got to post pets did not need to be quarantined but that may have changed. I can't think of any pet considerations in Hermosillo. The quality, care, and services are excellent. If anything major happens you can always drive to Arizona. - Sep 2024

Hermosillians LOVE their pets, especially dogs. There are veterinary clinics with English-speaking veterinarians. There are kennel services. Animals do not need to be quarantined upon entry. Lots of different dog foods and toys and accessories available at Costco and Walmart. - Aug 2022
