Dogs and Passenger Trains

broken image

Ever wanted to know if you could take your dog on a train either for sightseeing or travel in general? Some trains allow pets on board while others do not. The best thing to do is contact the passenger train company or check their website for rules pertaining to pets on board. You should also check with your vet as he may recommend your dog not travel by train. Train travel can be rough and your dog may not have the stomach for it. Dogs can definitely get motion sickness. Amtrak has recently updated their pet policy and now allows one pet per passenger with a limit of four pets per train (not including service animals). Guidelines and rules for pet travel on designated Amtrak trains can be found on their website. You may also want to consult with your professional veterinarians Jacksonville, FL for further information and to obtain a copy of your dog’s vaccine records.
