1. The cat was vaccinated with the triple vaccine and rabies vaccine, and obtained the immunization certificate, which can be collected free of charge. Larger regular pet hospitals (non-pet shops or private clinics) should be qualified to issue this certificate;

2. Take the train to the local animal quarantine station 7 days in advance and get the stamped "Pet Exit Quarantine Certificate". Note that the cat must be brought to the site for physical examination, and the shelf life of this certificate is only 7 days;

3. Arrive at the train station earlier, enter the baggage check-in area, show all the certificates, and weigh and check in;

4. Wait with the cat outside the luggage compartment to ensure that the cat is properly placed after the luggage is packed;

5. Go back to the carriage and have a rest. According to the regulations, you can visit the cat once every three hours and feed it with water, which is convenient.

When you get off the bus, the cat will be returned like checked baggage.

I. Consultation appointment

First of all, you should consult the train transportation department to make sure that the train you want to book has a luggage compartment and can check in cats. Any train that doesn't hang a freight car, such as a bullet train or a high-speed train, can't check cats. After asking about the number of trains, book tickets. If possible, it's best to make an appointment for shipment in advance.

Second, prepare items.

Just like flying, taking a cat by train needs a safe space, but the train doesn't have to have empty boxes, just an iron cage with a pull-out dung tray. Buy it in advance, buy some wire to reinforce the opening, prepare food and water for the cat, and keep warm.

Third, apply for an immunization certificate

Just like plane consignment, train consignment also needs to bring cats to prove immunity. Note that you must go to the hospital or quarantine station recognized by the railway department to apply for animal immunization certificate and vehicle disinfection certificate. Immunity is at least proved by rabies vaccine. And take it to the corresponding institution to handle the "Quarantine Certificate of Exit County".

Fourth, same-day consignment.

Go to the train consignment office at least 2 hours before driving. In addition to the above certificates, you also need an ID card and a plane ticket. Give these to the relevant personnel, and they will take you through the relevant procedures step by step. You can apply for escort license here. With this, you can look after the cat in the van. Finally, put the cat in the cargo hold before driving.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) consignment price

As long as it is not cross-provincial consignment, the general consignment price of cats is within 100.

Sixth, the train time.

On the way, with your escort certificate, you can look after the cat in the van and feed it with water to see if it is safe. This is impossible by air transport, and it is also the biggest advantage of train consignment.

Seven, take the cat away

When you arrive at your destination, you can pick up your cat at the corresponding place with the bill of lading. It should be noted that due to the slow unloading speed, the live transport car may be finally moved, which will take some time. Don't worry, wait patiently.

Eight, the agency

The above required documents can be handled by the company of the pet consignment agency for you, and the general cost is about 100-200. 3 hours before the train starts, the consignment agent can also take your pet to the consignment office instead of you. You only need to provide the information of the pet and the contact information of the harvester, and the shipping agent can handle the required documents for you. When the train arrives, go to the boarding point and take the cat away.

Remember to visit the cat every half an hour when transporting by rail, and give it some water to calm its restless mood, because it needs you very much.

Nine, the specific process:

1. Weigh pets to ensure that the weight of cats, dogs and other pets does not exceed 20kg. If it is overweight, it can't be handled.

2. Call China Railway 12306 and China Railway Express 95572 for consultation, and confirm that luggage and parcel transportation business has been opened between the originating cities (both sides of the line need to open private room business).

3. Self-provided transport containers should be ventilated and firm; Provide locking devices and drinking fountains; The bottom is padded to prevent animal feces from leaking.

4. Handling animal quarantine certificate When you bring your pet to the animal health and quarantine department to handle the animal quarantine certificate, you should bring your pet's immunization certificate and owner's ID card. (See the regulations of the local animal health and quarantine department for details)

5. Go through the formalities at the station on the day of the ride. Go through the formalities of pet consignment and escort at the station on the day of the ride. Consignment: go to the station for transportation, and separate people from pets; Escort: Follow the pet to the baggage car and take care of yourself. If the transportation distance is less than 200 kilometers and there is no need to feed midway, there is no need to escort. If you need to escort, please buy the ticket of the planned train in advance and go through the escort formalities with the ticket.

X. precautions for taking pets by train

1. If you travel for a long time, it is recommended to consult the veterinarian whether it is necessary to take sedatives for your pet.

2. Luggage carts provide a normal temperature transportation environment, and the temperature difference between regions may make pets uncomfortable. Please check the temperature in the arrival area in advance and take necessary warm-keeping measures for pets.

3. Please do a good job of fasting and defecation for pets in advance.

4. The pet owner who is accompanying should go through the formalities at the station at least 2 hours before taking the bus. If the baggage car does not follow, please consult the appropriate train number in the station car and go through the formalities at the station 2 hours before driving.

If you travel by high-speed train, please note that the ticket checking station and the train are not in the same station. Please arrange your trip reasonably according to the distance between stations and the departure time of the train.
