The expert pointed out important nuances when planning a trip with animals.

With the onset of the summer season, many Russians are planning a vacation with pets. However, it is important to consider the specifics of pet transportation. Elizaveta Akimova, head of the Tour and Ground Transportation Marketing Group at Tutu Travel Service, spoke about the rules for transporting pets on trains on June 14.

"For traveling in Russia, you need a veterinary passport with a rabies vaccination certificate. Two weeks before the trip, the animal must be examined by a veterinarian at the animal disease control station. In addition, when traveling abroad, you will additionally need a certificate in form No. 1," Akimova explained.

It should be borne in mind that not all types of wagons are suitable for transporting animals. On aggregator sites, such wagons are marked with a special "foot" icon. On FPC trains, pets can be transported in reserved seats, compartments, suites, and suites, while in Sapsan and Swallow, pet seats are already included in the ticket price.

Akimova clarified that small animals (cats, small breeds of dogs, birds) are transported in containers or carriers, the size of which should not exceed 180 cm in the sum of three dimensions. Large dogs are transported in separate compartments in muzzles and on a leash.

"The container should be comfortable for the pet, well ventilated and have a waterproof bottom," the specialist noted.

A compartment can carry up to two small animals per passenger, but no more than four in one compartment. For large dogs, you will need to buy all the seats in the compartment. Guide dogs travel free of charge if they have supporting documents.

When traveling abroad, a veterinary certificate is added to the standard set of documents. Small animals in cages are transported as hand luggage at no extra charge, while large dogs will require the purchase of the entire compartment.

The expert recommends taking a supply of food and water, diapers, folding bowls and wet wipes on the road.

"Don't forget about your favorite toys and objects for your four-legged friend. Take a toy or a blanket to make the dog or cat feel at home," advises Akimova.
