The best way we have found to recover a lost pet is to saturate the area with flyers offering a reward. Hand them to taxi drivers, water trucks, etc. and put an ad on the local Mexican radio station. The best way to ensure your pet’s safety is to leave it at home or keep an extremely close eye on it. Are Pets Welcome in Restaurants and Shops? As a general rule, NO! People come to Mexico and think just because they are here that it is perfectly acceptable to bring your dog into a restaurant. It is not. Some cantinas will allow dogs.
