Are dogs allowed on the Trans-Siberian railway?

There's a couple of guys from France here in my hostel in Tbilisi with a couple of huskies (or similar dogs).

Their plan is to travel to Russia from here then take the Trans-Siberian to Mongolia.

But a bit of Internet searching turns up nothing real about whether they'll be able to take their dogs on this train or what special rules and regulations might apply.

I realize the Trans-Siberian isn't just a single railway but made up of smaller ones so I suppose there is some chance the rules might vary from one part to the next.

Can you take pets on the Trans Siberian Railway?

Yes, believe it or not, you can travel the Trans Siberian Railway with your four-legged friends in tow. This is only the case in select carriages which you'll see listed when buying your ticket but is something to consider if you're allergic to pet fur. Carriages with pets are generally cheaper as well.

Are dogs allowed on Russian trains?

You can carry birds, dogs, cats and other small pets (up to 20 kg) on all kinds of trains. Their weight isn't added to the weight of carry-on luggage.

Is the Trans Siberian railway worth it?

As you can tell from my post, I definitely feel like the Trans-Siberian and Trans-Mongolian is awesome! It can be an affordable way to between Europe and Asia along a route that is off the beaten path and if you're doing the trip with friends, you'll forge memories of a lifetime.

Are dogs still allowed on trains?

Keep your dog on a lead throughout your journey. Enclosed pet carriers or crates must be used for dogs not on a lead. Any pet carrier must be rigid and not open (to prevent escape) and the dog must be able to stand and lie down in comfort. Dogs are not allowed to occupy seats.
