Vet Clinic in Playa del Carmen — English Speaking Veterinarian
Bilingual veterinary care for expats, travelers and locals. Over 20 years of experience, pet travel certificates for the USA, Europe and Mexico, and a cat-friendly office.
Bilingual veterinary care for expats and travelers
Living in Playa del Carmen as an expat — or visiting with your pet — shouldn't mean choosing between language and quality care. Our team handles consultations, surgeries and travel paperwork in fluent English, without losing nuance in the medical conversation.
We've worked with families relocating to the Riviera Maya, snowbirds traveling between the USA and Mexico every season, and tourists who needed urgent care during their stay.
Pet travel certificates for USA, Canada, Europe and Mexico
If you're flying with your dog or cat, you need official health documentation. Requirements changed significantly in December 2024 — dogs entering the USA from Mexico now require a GBG (Screwworm) certificate, even for US-origin dogs returning home.
- ✅ GBG / Screwworm certificate (USA entry)
- ✅ CDC import form support and clinical evaluation
- ✅ EU pet passport-equivalent health certificates
- ✅ National Mexican certificates for domestic travel
- ✅ Canadian entry documentation

Your cat doesn't have to dread every vet visit
We know that for cats, the carrier ride alone is stressful — and a busy clinic with barking dogs makes it worse. That's why we created a dedicated cat-friendly area:
- ✓ Separate examination room without dogs nearby
- ✓ Pheromone diffusers to lower anxiety
- ✓ Slow, respectful handling — no force restraint unless medically necessary
- ✓ Unrushed appointments
