Buying Pet Food In Mexico

Where can I buy food for my pet in Mexico?

The answer to this question really depends on your destination.

If you are going to one of Mexico's larger cities, particularly those in the north and central regions, you will be able to find large supermarket chains much like those in the US which will carry dry dog and cat food - although don't count on finding specialty brands. Some canned pet foods for dogs can be found as well, but not as frequently.

If you're searching for canned cat food, you might consider feeding your cat with cans of regular tuna fish… which can be found at most markets. Cat's love tuna (which is likely safe if you get it in a can) and can survive on it very contentedly while traveling.

The store chains in major Mexican cities which carry pet food include Walmart and Gigante.

If you are planning a camping trip, or going to travel throughout smaller towns and villages, you should bring along enough dog food from home for your entire trip. You may also want to seriously consider buying bottled water for your pet to drink while you are traveling, since many dogs get sick when they drink water that they are not accustomed to.
