Trenitalia - Transportation of animals

Travelling with your dog

When you purchase a pet ticket, each passenger can transport a medium- and large-sized dog on all national train types, in first and second class compartments and on Business (no Area Silenzio, Working Area and Salottino) and Standard service levels, by respecting a few minor and easy-to-follow rules:

  • your dog must be kept on a leash and wear a muzzle;
  • carry you dog's canine registry certificate and health booklet (or, for dog owners who are foreign nationals, your dog's "pet passport" in lieu of both documents) with you to be presented to onboard staff;
  • do not enter the restaurant/cafĂ© carriage with your dog.

We would like to remind passengers that small dogs, cats and other small pets (kept in an appropriate pet carrier not exceeding 70 x 30 x 50 cm) are, however, permitted to travel for free in first and second class compartments on all train types and in the Executive, Business, Premium and Standard service levels.
Only one pet carrier is permitted for each traveller.

Furthermore, please be advised that guide dogs for the blind and visually impaired are permitted to travel on all trains free of charge without requiring a pet ticket.
