One of the most difficult things when embarking on a trip is leaving pets at home. It is that their company and the daily affection that they selflessly give is what anyone who lives with animals misses even if they are having a good time. In the Caribbean, hotels knew how to understand that feeling and several lodgings are now pet friendly.
Enjoying a trip with your dog or cat is possible thanks to the openness to this type of experience, for example, on the Mexican coast. Combine comfort, the pleasure of being filled with dream landscapes with the best and softest company without worrying about who will take care of it.
particularly in Argentina, pets take center stage in every home, and it is estimated that 80% of people live with animals, mainly dogs. This trend, far from changing, continues to grow year after year and the adoption of these incredible companions is becoming more and more popular.
Where to stay with pets?
In the Mexican Caribbean, hotels pet friendly most chosen are the Hard Rock Hotels An All-Inclusive Experience. They offer an exclusive and original experience to welcome travelers who arrive with their dogs or cats. Everything is planned so that everyone enjoys the trip.
At the Hard Rock Hotel Cancun, a Rock Suite with an ocean view or a Deluxe King Lagoon View are some of the options available to choose from combining extraordinary landscapes and the same for your pet.
At Hard Rock Hotel Los Cabos, Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta and Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya there are also options to receive them. For its part, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana includes family suites so that everyone can be with the most cuddly of the family.
Comfort for pets
The package includes exclusive amenities for animals, a welcome gift and specially designed areas so that your four-legged companion is as comfortable during your stay as your humans.
Considering that when entering Mexico you will not be able to take more than the ration of balanced food necessary for the day of arrival, this hotel chain has a luxury option available to replace the bed. The beds with Memory Foam technology allow them to rest like at home.
Likewise, some rules for coexistence must be followed, such as that only two pets per room can be accommodated, paying $150 USD for each one’s stay for 7 nights, since after their visit a deep cleaning must be done. Each animal can weigh between 22.5 kilos or 50 pounds. Be careful with that diet!
Now, what must be taken into account to embark on a trip with pets? First of all, you have to take them to the vet to check them and decide if they are in good health to undertake the journey. Then it is suggested to check the airline’s requirements to board with animals and make sure that it is a reputable company in this type of transfer.
Keep in mind that a special bag is required, suitable for air travel. In the days before the adventure begins, placing food or toys inside is a good idea so that he gets used to entering it and gains confidence.
If you play with your pet and it arrives tired at the airport, it will be able to rest better during the flight. And, by the way, getting to the terminal on time is a good idea to avoid headaches and nerves. But 4 hours before boarding, it is recommended to feed the dog or cat so that it travels lighter. Of course, water should be given until the last moment.
Requirements to enter Mexico with a pet
Like every country, Mexico has requirements to bring a pet from abroad. Upon arrival at the airport, you must present the health certificate issued by a private veterinarian or by the corresponding Federal Authority of the country from which the animal arrives, in original and copy. The date of issuance of this document should not exceed 15 days if its validity is not indicated.
In this certificate made on letterhead paper or with a professional license, it is necessary to state the name and address of the human, and the data of the pet. In addition, animals over three months of age must have been vaccinated against rabies, information that can also be shown on a vaccination certificate.
The documentation must also include internal and external deworming within the six months prior to the journey and the guarantee that they arrive free of external parasites, for which the date of application and the active ingredient must be indicated. Another requirement that must be stated is that the pet was clinically healthy before the trip.
What happens if any of these requirements is not mentioned in the health certificate or if external parasites are found during the physical inspection? It is possible to contact a zootechnical veterinarian in Mexico who applies the missing treatments.
Traveling with your partner with all the comforts and luxuries of an All Inclusive is possible, it is only necessary to choose the destination and take into account these useful data.
