What do I need to bring when traveling with a pet?

To avoid issues during boarding or inspection, you should:

• Keep your pet in a carrier or on a leash (depending on size)

• Bring a muzzle if traveling with a large dog — some countries require it

• Carry any vaccination or ID documents required for cross-border trains

• Make sure your pet won’t disturb other passengers — some trains have quiet zones where pets may be restricted

Each country’s rules are different, so check the destination-specific guide before departure.
