Pets are welcome on board!

You may bring up to two pets with you on your journey with SJ.

You are always responsible for your pet not disturbing or risking the safety on board.

If there is a traffic disturbance during your journey with SJ and we need to use replacement buses, we will help you and your pet get to your final destination. Some bus companies may have specific rules for bringing pets on board.

Pets on SJs day trains

You may bring with you two pets when travelling in 2 class. You need to reserve a seat in the "Pets allowed" section of the train. If you are travelling on a train where it is not possible to make a seat reservation, you need to sit in a carriage that allows pets. You will find a "Pets allowed" symbol on the outside of the carriage when boarding the train.

Your pet is not allowed on the seats and needs to stay on the floor during the entire journey. If your pet is not able to fit on the floor space in front of your seat, you need to purchase an extra seat by adding a youth ticket to your booking.

For smaller pets in cages (such as birds, rabbits or guinea pigs), each cage is counted as a pet. The cage may not be larger than a regular carry-on luggage and must remain closed at all times.

Cages may be places on unoccupied seats if you place some sort of protection between the seat and the cage. Pets that are not travelling in a cage must always stay on the floor, even if you have purchased an additional seat.

Pets on SJ Night train

The rules described above also apply when you travel on SJ Night train.

If you wish to travel in a couchette you may bring 1-2 pets if you book an entire compartment to yourself. You pay a fixed price for the compartment. Pets are not allowed on the seats or on the beds and need to stay on the floor during the entire journey.

How to reserve a "Pets allowed" couchette:

Fill in what stations you wish to travel between and your travel dates. Then enter promo code DJUR in the Add promo code field and continue to the next step. If there are any pet compartments available the departure will be shown with a red price in the timetable. You pay for all six bunks in the compartment automatically. Continue your booking as usual and complete your order.
