Cross-border pet membership
Affordable vet care in Tijuana — for U.S. pet owners.
Cross-border membership with instant savings at participating clinics. Sign up nationwide, visit in Tijuana, and pay less at checkout.
“Save up to 70%” reflects the potential gap on common procedures — not a guaranteed amount on every visit.
Membership, not insurance
No insurance-style claims or deductibles. At most participating clinics, your plan coverage is applied at checkout — you pay your discounted balance on the spot.
If your clinic uses member reimbursement, submit your receipt from your dashboard and track payout status there.

Common questions
Membership basics, coverage in Tijuana, and what to expect before you sign up.
What do I pay at the clinic?
You pay your portion — the clinic charges minus the covered amount — at checkout. The exact split depends on your plan tier, procedure category, waiting periods, and remaining annual cap.
Where is care delivered?
Care is delivered only at participating clinics in our launch network in Tijuana unless we add locations in writing. We do not provide care in the United States through this program.
Can I use this for cats?
Yes. Membership is for dogs and cats. When you onboard your pet, you choose dog or cat and can select from our breed list (or Mixed/Unknown). The same Bronze through Platinum plans apply whether your pet is a dog or a cat. Care is delivered at participating clinics in Tijuana that treat dogs and cats.
What if I need emergency care?
If your pet has a life-threatening emergency, go to the nearest appropriate emergency veterinarian first — in the U.S. or Mexico. Paws Beyond Borders is a membership program, not emergency insurance and not a 24/7 crisis hotline. If emergency care is provided at a participating clinic in Tijuana, membership covers 100% of eligible emergency charges up to $5,000 per incident, subject to plan terms and clinic verification. For urgent (non-life-threatening) needs in the Tijuana area, you may visit a participating clinic in our directory — consultation coverage is eligible immediately with no waiting period. Some network clinics offer extended or emergency hours; check the clinic directory for details. We do not coordinate ambulance transport or emergency dispatch today. After signup, you can contact support or submit a tele-vet consultation request for general guidance — that is a request workflow, not an on-demand emergency line.
What happens when I hit my annual cap?
Your dashboard shows how much of your annual cap is used and when it resets. If a visit would use more cap than you have left, we apply subscription coverage up to your remaining cap and you pay the rest of the clinic charges at checkout. When your annual cap is fully used, subscription coverage no longer applies to wellness, illness, surgery, dental, or other non-consultation visits until your cap resets — you pay the clinic's full charges for those visits. Consultation visits at participating clinics may still receive subscription coverage per your plan after the cap is reached. Choose a plan tier whose cap fits your pet's expected care needs; see pricing for amounts by tier.
Are pre-existing conditions covered?
Pre-existing conditions may be covered subject to plan terms. Waiting periods still apply for certain procedure categories (wellness, illness, surgery, orthopedic) from your subscription start date — they are not bypassed because a condition existed before you joined.
