The animal companions on the Camino will be dogs and donkeys, so far, but anyone who wants to could bring another animal, as long as they are sure that it would be capable of covering 24 kilometres a day.
Planeta Animal will provide all the infrastructure needed by human and animal travellers, with guides, accommodation (in pilgrim lodgings, rural houses, hotels etc.), food and water, transport of baggage etc. Volunteers who want to take part, can do so in periods of one to six weeks, choosing the most attractive week of the route and making sure of a realistic distance for their own animals.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
If this convoy is large, it will look like a travelling menagerie. Dogs will suffer feet injuries. Who knows about the donkeys.

These people may mean well but it all seems so misplaced.
 
They survived last year's walk - dogs and handlers. Lots of volunteers to care for the animals.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
