Yes, Indian railways does allow pet dogs in the train. However, there are certain conditions that need to be followed.
- Pets must be properly vaccinated and muzzled.
- They should also be carried in a pet carrier.
- Pets are allowed only AC Tier 1 or First Class,
- Pets are not allowed in the AC second class, AC 3rd Class, the AC Chair Car, and sleeper class
The pet must be carried in a proper carrier. There are some restrictions on the size and type of carrier that can be carried on the train.
There are a few things to consider when travelling with a dog by train. The first is whether or not your dog is comfortable in a carrier. If your dog is not used to being in a carrier, it may be a good idea to start getting them used to it before your trip. You'll also want to make sure your dog is up-to-date on all of their shots and has a good temperament around other people and animals.
Once you have all of that taken care of, the next step is to purchase your tickets. Unlike flying, there is no need to purchase a separate ticket for your dog. However, there may be a limit to the number of dogs that are allowed on each train, so be sure to check with the train conductor before boarding.
Once you're on the train, there are a few things to keep in mind. For one, your dog should be kept on a leash at all times. And, just like when you're travelling with a child, it's important to make sure your dog is quiet and well-behaved. If your dog is barking or causing a disturbance, the conductor may ask you to leave the train.
In terms of what to bring, you'll want to pack your dog's food and water, as well as a bowl and a bag to clean up after them. You may also want to bring a blanket or toy to keep them occupied. If your dog is travelling in the colder months, you'll also want to pack a coat or sweater to keep them warm.
By following these tips, you can make your next train trip with your dog a breeze.
