In the US:
* Amtrak: Allows small pets (cats and dogs) in carriers that fit under the seat. They have specific size and weight limits. You'll need to book a reservation for your pet.
* Other train lines (e.g., Metra, NJ Transit, etc.): Policies vary by line. Some allow small pets in carriers, some only allow service animals, and some don't allow pets at all. Check the specific line's website for their rules.
In other countries:
* Train policies vary greatly. Research the specific train line you're interested in.
Key things to consider:
* Pet size and weight: Most trains have limits on how large your pet can be.
* Pet carrier: Your pet must be in a carrier that meets the train's requirements.
* Reservations: You may need to make a reservation for your pet, especially on long-distance trains.
* Service animals: Service animals are allowed on most trains, but may require specific documentation.
General advice:
* Always check the train company's website or contact them directly to get the most up-to-date information on pet policies.
* Have your pet's vaccination records readily available.
* Be prepared to clean up after your pet.
