On AVE and Larga Distancia (long distance high-speed) trains, you can travel with your pet as long as:
Pets must always travel with their own pet ticket and do not take up a seat. If you are travelling with a Premium ticket, your pet travels for free. If your ticket is Básico (Basic) or Elige (Pick & Mix) ticket, you will only have to pay 10 euros more to take your pet with you.
On Media Distancia (Mid-distance) and Avant (mid-distance high-speed) trains, you can travel with your pet as long as:
Your pet does not occupy a seat. The cost of the ticket is 25% of the price of the general fare.
Now, you can travel with your dog weighing up to 40 kg on select AVE (high-speed) trains on the Madrid-Barcelona and Madrid-Malaga lines.
To do so, you must comply with the necessary requirements and arrive 40 minutes in advance at the Renfe Service Centre of the station to submit the declaration of responsibility together with the insurance policy.Remember that before you start your trip, you will be required to fill out and sign the declaration of responsibility and adhere to the conditions of service:
We will provide you with a travel kit (seat cover and mat that you must fit on the seat) and treats for your pet, which you must collect from the Service Centre 40 minutes before boarding the train. Furthermore, Renfe and Nestlé Purina recommend, to ensure the animal's welfare during the trip, that you bring your own blanket and silent toy or avoiding feeding them during the three hours prior to the trip to prevent sickness.
On other AVE and Larga Distancia (long distance high-speed), Avant (mid-distance high-speed) and Media Distancia (mid-distance) trains, dogs over 10 kg are not permitted.
