Book a trip on Amtrak and your pet might ride for free.
A limited number of “pets ride free” offers will be available for trips booked Dec. 6-11, allowing pets to ride at no additional cost on participating routes Dec. 9-March 31.
Ordinarily pet owners pay $25 to bring a small dog or cat onboard. The animal must be in an enclosed carrier with a combined weight of no more than 20 pounds and the trip cannot exceed seven hours.
The free program will be supported in 40 Amtrak markets nationwide including Portland, Seattle and others. Tickets must be purchased at least three days prior to travel.
Details on Amtrak’s pet policy can be found at www.amtrak.com/pets. The link to book using the free offer will be live today at www.amtrak.com/secretlifeofpets.
