Something not right?

Description

We needed to get exit papers for our dogs to leave Costa Rica because one of their rabies vaccines expired and was renewed here. Dr Raquel speaks English and did the exam the same day that we called. The export papers get stamped at an official office and she had it all done for us and ready for pick up the next day! Great vet and great service.

Expensive. We negotiated the cost down to 75 usd. For 200usd they go to Senasa and yellow house for you but it is easy. You can do it yourself.

Report Check-In

Would NOT recommend. We needed papers for our cat to go to Panama. Due to a medical emergency we were stuck in Uvita. We contacted them online, were told they could help. After a few emails/apps we send them all the required paperwork as requested (vaccinations and everything else fully in order) and answered several questions so they could start applying to Senasa and for the appostille. When we finally made it to San Jose, NOTHING had been done! All the mailing and messages were a waste of time. The only good thing was that they did already have an appointment for the appostille in 2 days time ,(probably for some other pets) and they could take our paperwork with them then as well. So now we had to wait 2 more days and it was very expensive, 130.000 Colon! We had informed at another vet before (too early) and it is usually around 100.000 colon. But since they already had a appointment for the appostille we now had no choice and they new it, so we just had to pay.
If you are traveling with your pet to Panama start contacting different vets 2 weeks in advance!

Report Check-In

like other countries, we stopped here for our health certificate for our dogs to cross the border. after sitting down with Juan Munoz, who speaks great English, and going over the paperwork we concluded that the Costa Rica every paperwork is valid for 90 days and designed for an entrance AND exit paperwork! there was also an issue regarding the rabies vaccine. in the USA we get the vaccine that lasts 3 years, but in Costa Rica the require it every year. the vet suggested not worrying about it as he thought it wouldn't be an issue and gave us his personal number for us to contact him in case things became a problem at the border. which it turns out we didn't need crossing on the Caribbean side. super easy by the way! he could have easily taken advantage of our situation and gave us a new health certificate and charged us whatever he wanted, but he didn't. we did get 2 boosters for other vaccines that were about to expire that came out to like 50k or something like that. highly recommended if you need anything for your pets.
