Taking Your Dog


<home>


We drove all the way from Texas to Panama City, Panama and back with our dog.  We would like you to feel comfortable about taking your dog with you on a trip like ours. Click here for an article published in the September/October issue of Escapees Magazine telling you how you can take your pet into the countries of Central America.   For more information on forms, etc. check out this site for general info:

See Belize for the procedure to receive a permit in advance there.

Boarding Your Dog

We boarded Brindle in Panama City while we cruised the canal.  We placed her with veterinarian Nora LaPenta:

LaPenta Veterinaria
Altos del Chase, Pmá (El Dorado District)
Telephone: (507)2360549

Nora speaks English and is well known in veterinary circles.

There are a number of other veterinary clinics listed in the Yellow Pages.


Here is a copy of the USDA APHIS Form for Brindle after being stamped by each country at least once!
