I will travel with animals. What is necessary?
Important: So that everything goes well, we share here the rules that are usually practiced by bus companies. However, the process can be adjusted according to each bus company and that's why we ask you to confirm in advance with the company, agreed?
Pets:
- In general, the ANTT (the body that regulates road travel in the country) determines that dogs and cats can only travel with a Sanitary Certificate for the Transit of Dogs and Cats. This document can be given by a veterinarian registered in the animal's home state. Especially in cases of long trips, it is recommended that you also consult the professional to see if any additional care can offer more comfort to the animal.
- If the pet is more than 90 days old, it must have proof of rabies vaccination with a date greater than 30 days prior to the trip or less than one year.
- Some bus companies only allow the animal to be boarding in the luggage compartment and there are usually no extra fees for transporting them.
- On the other hand, some bus companies allow animals to travel together with their owners, below or between the legs, as long as they do not exceed the space of the passenger next to them and impair the comfort of the trip. Usually the pet needs to travel in specific boxes for transporting animals.
- Remember that you have the option of reserving the seat next to you so that you and your pet can travel with more space and tranquility, as long as the company allows you to board it.
Guide dog:
Traveling with a guide dog is a specific and individual case. It is the right of the visually impaired person to travel with his/her guide dog, regardless of weight and fare payment. These animals must be carried between their owner's legs.
Wild animals:
- To travel with a wild animal, it is necessary to have a GTA (Animal Transit Guide), health certificate, vaccination card (up to date) and transport authorization issued by IBAMA. The animal will need to travel in its own box or bag.
- In the case of a long trip, prior consultation with a veterinarian is recommended to ensure the animal's comfort and safety.
- Some companies only allow the animal to be transported in the luggage compartment, so it is important to confirm this in advance with the bus company that will make the trip.
- There are no extra fees charged for transporting animals, but if you want to have more peace of mind and comfort, we recommend that you reserve the seat next to the animal (provided this is allowed by the vehicle). Parrots, macaws, tamarins, hamsters and tortoises are characterized as wild animals.
