Argentina Clears Pets on Long-Distance Buses and Trains Under New National Rule

Implementation now depends on each carrier’s timeline, pricing, limits, protocols.

Overview

  • Resolution 2076/2025, published Dec. 23, authorizes domestic pets on interprovincial long‑distance buses and passenger trains under national jurisdiction.
  • Passengers may take one pet per adult in a closed carrier placed on the lap, under the seat or on the adjacent window seat secured with a seatbelt, with rabies vaccination and health documents required.
  • Guide and assistance dogs remain outside this regime under Law 26.858 and continue to travel free of charge.
  • Transport companies can charge a specific pet fare, set species, size, weight and scheduling conditions, and must establish cleaning and disinfection procedures.
  • Stations and terminals must provide signed, conditioned waiting and boarding areas for travelers with pets, while operators report they are still organizing operational details for a phased rollout.
