Deutsche Bahn (DB) offers straightforward and accommodating policies for travelers wishing to bring their pets on German trains. Here's a quick overview of the rules to ensure a smooth journey with your furry friends on German railways:
- Small Pets: Pets up to the size of a domestic cat can travel for free. They must be transported in a carrier that fits under the seat or on the shelf above.
- Large Pets: Larger pets can travel on DB trains with a special pet fare, but they must be on a leash and wear a muzzle. If you're traveling with a larger pet, please contact us through the contact form for further assistance with the booking.
- Guide Dogs: Guide dogs travel for free and do not need to wear a muzzle.
Traveling with a Day Ticket or Regional Ticket:
Yes, small dogs (up to the size of a domestic cat) can travel free of charge in a transport box with your day ticket for Germany or regional day ticket. However, larger dogs are considered passengers and are charged the same as an adult ticket.
Important Note: When booking a ticket for a dog that requires a paid ticket, make sure to enter the German word for "dog" (Hund) instead of a passenger name when completing your booking.
For further information or to book your pet’s ticket, please visit the official Deutsche Bahn website or contact us if you need assistance.
