Briinging cats into Guatemala 2015

9 years ago
Has anyone here brought a cat or dog into Guatemala this year? I'm seeing contradictory information online about whether we do or don't have to have the Guatemalan Embassy in the USA sign off on our vet's health certification for our pet. Looks like maybe they used to require it but maybe not anymore?

The required dates for everything say that the health certificate must be completed within 15 days of pet arrival in Guatemala. We have to get the vet to test and treat the animal for parasites, then get that health certificate signed by the USDA vet office, and then we're supposed to get that signed off by the Washington DC Guatemalan Embassy and get it back in time for travel - all in 15 days?

If anyone has recently brought a dog or cat into Guatemala (by air) from the USA, please share your experience and advice. Thank you!
