Can I bring pets onboard?

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, passengers are allowed to bring pets onboard Via Rail trains. Small pets, such as cats and small dogs, weighing no more than 10 kg (22 lbs), including their carriers, can travel in carriers or crates that fit under the seat. These pets must remain in their containers for the duration of the journey, unless they need to be taken out for exercise, in which case they must be leashed and closely supervised. Larger dogs, over 10 kg (22 lbs), are allowed on certain trains, such as the Ocean and the Canadian, in specific cars that are equipped with dog kennels. Additional fees may apply, and it is essential to make reservations for pets in advance, as there is limited availability for pet spaces.
