Yes, Dogs and cats are welcome but must be leashed or crated at all times when in or around our stations—a pet relief area is available outside our West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale stations.

 

Dogs and cats are the only pets that are permitted to travel on our trains. Passengers must provide advance notice that they will be traveling with a dog or cat. To add a pet to your ticket, choose “add a pet” to your reservation. Our teammates may inquire as to whether the pet has been added to the reservation passenger details and may request to review a “fit to travel” certificate issued by a registered veterinarian or proof of the animal's current vaccines.

 

Carry-On Pet Restrictions:

• Adults (13+) may bring one (1) pet per passenger.
• Carry-on pets may only travel inside a closed, approved hard or soft-sided, leak-proof pet carrier as follows:
• If the pet is traveling under your seat (or on your lap), the size of the carrier may not exceed 17" x 10" x 10".
• Depending on animal breed and size, they can travel as a carry-on; otherwise, they need to have an additional ticket.
• You can travel with your pet carrier/kennel and 1 personal item, but you will not be permitted to bring a carry-on bag in addition to a pet carrier and a personal item.
• Carry-on pets must be at least eight weeks old and be odorless, harmless, not disruptive, and require no attention during travel.
• Brightline does not allow pets to travel as checked baggage; pets must travel with a guest.
• Each passenger is responsible for the care and supervision of the pet they are traveling with.
