What is the Canine Credential and Compostela?

The Canine Credential, issued by the Asociación Protectora de Animales del Camino de Santiago (APACA), is like a passport for pets. It works similarly to the Pilgrim’s Credential for humans.

During your journey, you’ll need to stamp it at least twice a day at places like hostels, restaurants, and churches until you reach Santiago de Compostela.

Once you have finished your Camino de Santiago, contact APACA to get the Compostela Canina, which certifies your pet’s journey.
