Train Animal Policies

Different countries have varying policies regarding pets on trains. In the European Union, pet regulations differ across nations. For example, in Germany, small pets can travel for free if they are in a carrier, while larger dogs require a half-price ticket. In France, pets can travel either leashed or in a carrier, with pricing based on their size. In the UK, two pets can travel for free, but must be leashed or caged. In the United States, Amtrak allows pets under 20 pounds on certain routes, but there are fees and journey time limitations. Understanding these policies ensures a smooth trip and avoids any complications at the station or during travel.
