Can you take a dog on a DSB train in Denmark?

Short answer

Yes. Dogs and small animals that stay in a bag, case or cage for the whole trip travel free, as long as it is no bigger than 100 x 60 x 30 cm. A dog that is not in a bag must be on a leash and needs a child ticket (12–15 years). Animals may not sit on the seats. Family zones, quiet zones and DSB 1' are always animal-free, and pictograms in the train show where dogs are allowed.

Why

  1. Small dogs in a bag ride free.
  2. Larger dogs need a child ticket.
  3. Some zones are kept free of animals for people with allergies.

Details

Guide and service dogs travel free and may enter animal-free areas in DSB 1', but not the DSB 1' quiet zone.

Tip

With a large dog on InterCity, buy a seat ticket so there is floor space in front of your seat.

What may differ

Rules can differ on other operators' trains, and staff instructions always apply.

Common misconception

Many think dogs are not allowed on Danish trains at all.

What actually happens

Dogs are welcome on DSB trains, either free in a bag or on a leash with a child ticket.
