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.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
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 focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
