Gate-side pet gear in Terminal 2
Right in Terminal 2, MyFamily focuses only on pets, so this is the stop if you forgot a collar, leash, or tag before your GIG departure. It sits airside in the departures area, so you need a boarding pass and cleared security to shop here. Think last-minute fixes more than full grooming: basic accessories, some toys, and a few travel items rather than giant bags of food.
MyFamily runs from 06:00 to 22:00 daily, which covers the bulk of international and domestic banks out of Terminal 2. Early-morning flyers at 07:00 can grab a replacement harness, and late-evening departures around 21:30 still catch it open. If your pet is checked in as baggage or flying in-cabin, this is one of the few pet-focused options in the building at those hours.
Pricing lands in typical airport territory: expect collars and leashes to run higher than downtown Rio pet shops, with branded items and metal ID tags at the top of the range. On the upside, you’re paying for timing and location more than rarity. If you just need a basic plastic bowl or simple toy, look for the lower shelves and unbranded pieces to keep the spend reasonable.
Stock leans toward smaller items that fit in carry-ons, so think foldable travel bowls, compact blankets, and cabin-compliant accessories rather than crates. Flight-friendly gear is the smart buy here; skip anything bulky you could source later in the city. One practical move: snap up an extra ID tag and attach it before check-in, in case your main collar breaks mid-trip.
