There is still one pitt bull at the property but we haven't seen it out of the property since it attacked the woman and her little dog last April. The other problem dog at the top of the hill at Bungalos Alex is still running loose, usually between 9 and 10 in the morning

Not to split hairs, but the offending dog was located on the street above Calle Adelita. It's the street where Hotel Aura del Mar has it's main entrance.

Things have been kind of quiet in that area lately. Is that dog gone or has the owner finally got it under control?

Just be careful taking them around Adelita on Madera- read the many posts on this site about loose, very aggressive dogs in the area that have attacked visiting dogs

We have been here 2 weeks today, and have yet to see a doggie cop. However, we spoke to another couple yesterday who live here with their dog, and there was an encounter Thursday on La Ropa, shortly before 10am.

We do exactly what we do at home: Exercise, run and swim our two early, before it gets hot, and try to be off of the beach before 8. Occasionally we are a little later when we stop to provide dog love to people who have left theirs at home.

Of course, we always clean up after them, and make sure they don't bother any person or business.

Just continue to be the good pet owner that you are, and you will do great!

Take your dogs anywhere, but not on the beachs, as the dog natzis are still around and signs on each entrance banning dogs. A friend got a stupid letter from the clowns at city hall regarding his well behaved dog on the beach. When you walk your dog around town allways carry a good stick. Here they seem to do whatever to discourage tourists with dogs. You'd think they would try to accommodate tourists but this is Zihua

If you are flying be sure to get the health certificates in the required time frame . I drive down every year with my dogs and get them every year but have never been asked .However the one or two times I have flown I have always been asked for them at customs. I would also add that I have never had a problem taking them anywhere in Z. You will however need flea and tick meds ...lots of them in mexico.

I for one am completely unconcerned with your spelling accuracy
Thank you so much for your reply, am relieved that you've had a good experience with your pup. Planned and booked everything before realizing we might not be able to get a ride from the airport lol.
I will definitely tip well for any driver who is willing to take our circus on!!
Thanks again

Hola
Before someone else does (which they will) I will correct myself. It is playa Larga. Sorry for my bad Spanish.

Hola
We have been coming down for the last 5 years with our dog. He is only semi-small (24 pounds). The buses and taxis to playa La Ropa are fine with him. He has travelled with us by taxi to playa Largo with no problem. As far as travelling with three dogs, don't know. You might have to tip big time. That always works

Hey Everyone

We are coming down for 2 months in February and are bringing our 3 small (20lbs and less) dogs. I am wondering about getting around with them...does anyone know if taxi drivers will accept us? What about the buses (thinking it would be nice to go to Barra de Potosi for a day).

Does anyone have experience with this?

Thanks!
