We're considering applying for residency and moving to Cozumel and have two dogs (one small, one large). The rules for flying with pets seem somewhat difficult, so we're considering driving instead. The thought is to drive to Cancun, then take a ferry to Cozumel. If we do so, then:
1. Does anyone have guidance or experience on driving from the US to Cancun? i.e. where to cross the border, where to stay for the night for the rest of the trip after crossing, etc.?
2. I understand that we'll need to present the dogs for inspection - where does that happen when driving into Mexico and how might it be different from presenting them at an airport?
3. How does the rule about only bringing enough pet food for the day of travel work? What about bringing beds and toys along with our luggage? (it will be a 40+ hour drive from our current home state, so we'll need plenty of stuff to keep them happy)
What other questions should we ask, or what else do we need to know?
Thank you!
