I visited last month and we brought our cat. You will have to get some paper work (health certificate), sort out travel with your airline and the requirements Senasa will need (and pay) once you arrive to Argentina.

I would look at https://www.argentina.gob.ar/senasa and search your home country on the requirements to visit Argentina.
