Pets are now allowed inside public utility vehicles, provided they are wearing animal diapers and are in cages or carriers.

Pets can now ride in PUVs

In a memorandum circular, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board said pets such as cats and dogs are allowed to be transported on PUVs “without having to compromise the safety, health issues, and convenience of other passengers.”

The LTFRB said the animal carriers must be free from foul odor. Pets placed inside carriers or cages must be beside the passenger-owner, who must pay the corresponding fare the same as that of other passengers.

Dog sizes must be the range of small to medium, the board said, as large and giant dogs will not be allowed.

Passenger-owners must also ensure cleanliness and sanitation at all times during the journey.

PUVs include public utility buses, jeepneys, UV Express services, and premium point-to-point bus services, among others.
