I will travel with animals. What is necessary?
Important: The rules below are general and may be adjusted according to the operation of each vehicle. We reinforce the need to get in touch with the vehicle that will carry out your trip to check the necessary procedures for your boarding along with your animal.
Pets:
Traveling with pets is allowed by most vehicles. However, some rules need to be observed:
According to the rules of ANTT (National Land Transport Agency), dogs and cats must be accompanied by the Health Certificate, issued 3 days before the trip by a veterinarian duly registered with the Regional Council of Veterinary Medicine of the State of origin of the animal.
If the animal is older than 90 days, it must be accompanied by proof of rabies vaccination, with a date greater than 30 days prior to shipment and less than one year.
Animals that due to their size, ferocity, venom or health harm other passengers in some way, are prevented from boarding. It must be packed in a suitable container for transportation, free of waste, water and food. That is, it must be safe and comfortable, to also ensure the tranquility and safety of passengers. This specific container for transportation has technical characteristics that must be observed when purchasing it. It must be made of fiberglass or similar resistant material, without protrusions or protuberances, leak-proof and with a maximum dimension of 41x36x33 centimeters. At stops, the owner must arrange the cleaning of the container.
Most routes allow the animal to travel below the legs of the owner in the seat, however, others indicate that it is necessary to obtain an additional passage for the pet to occupy the seat space next to it. Additionally, some routes also do not allow animals to board, so we recommend that you contact the vehicle of interest in advance to check the conditions determined.
Guide dog:
Traveling with a guide dog is a specific and individual case. It is the right of the visually impaired to travel with their guide dog regardless of weight and fare payment. These animals must be transported between their owner's legs.
Wild animals:
In the case of wild animals, of Brazilian or exotic fauna, it is necessary to present an authorization for transit from IBAMA, under the terms of the law, so that the boarding can take place. Additional conditions of transport must be consulted directly with the responsible vehicle.
