Can I bring my pet on Amtrak?

Asked a year ago
Yes, Amtrak allows passengers to bring their pets on board. However, there are certain rules and restrictions to ensure the safety and comfort of all passengers. Small dogs and cats are allowed to travel with their owners in carriers that fit under the seat. Only one pet per passenger is permitted, and there is a fee for bringing a pet on board. Larger pets that cannot fit in carriers are not allowed on Amtrak trains, with the exception of service animals. It is recommended to make a reservation for your pet in advance, as the number of pets allowed on each trip is limited. Other guidelines, such as required vaccinations and leash/crate usage, must be followed to ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey for everyone.
