Pets
To travel with your dog or cat in the passenger cabin, you can use the Dog&Cat Cabin service, designed for animals weighing up to 10 kg (including the carrier). If your dog or cat weighs up to 30 kg, the Dog&Cat + Space service is recommended, allowing your pet to travel in the hold of the aircraft in a designated space. For dogs or cats over 30 kg or other species, please contact GOLLOG Animais.
Guide dogs for people with visual or hearing impairments can travel in the aircraft cabin. For more information about transporting domestic dogs and cats, click here.
Dog&Cat Cabine is a pet transportation service offered to GOL customers for an additional fee. This service allows customers to travel with their small dog or cat in the passenger cabin.
Only dogs and cats weighing up to 10 kg (including the carrier) are permitted in the passenger cabin. Only one pet is permitted per customer and per row of seats, with a maximum of eight per flight. Any other animals, even small ones, must be transported through GOLLOG Animais.
Pets flying in the cabin must remain in their kennels for the entire duration of the trip, including in the airport's arrival and departure areas. On the aircraft, they must be accommodated below the seat in front of the owner and away from other animals in the cabin, and kept inside their kennels throughout the flight. The length of the kennel must never exceed the maximum permitted measurement, because in an emergency where evacuation is necessary, the internal aisle between the rows must not be obstructed. Learn more about kennels.

The passport is permitted for domestic and international transit to countries that recognize it as an equivalent document. Within 10 days before departure, the owner must ask the veterinarian responsible for the animal to register the health information in the passport and contact the Vigiagro unit for legalization.
Note: It is the animal owner's responsibility to verify, before traveling, the acceptance of the passport and the health requirements of the animal's destination country. Some countries impose other specific requirements for allowing pets into their territories. Customers should check the information on the website www.iatatravelcentre.com or contact the consulate of the country they will be visiting.
