Anyone know how you buy a ticket or day pass for your dog on the SBB app? Website says it’s possible, but I can’t figure out how (don’t want to go through ticket buying process when not travelling, but would like to know in advance of travel). Thanks

I’ve figured it out - just after posting. Duh!

Just put in the route you are travelling. Select tickets. Open “more tickets” option and dog day pass is there (as is bike pass). I assume if travelling a short journey, you just buy another 1/2 fare ticket in your name.

The title of this thread intrigued me. Unfortunately not the contents

Apparently SBB now allow you to buy a GA for your dog at a much cheaper price - something like 350 instead of 800 but it’s no longer transferable and is linked to your own Swiss Pass which is catching people out.

Yeah, that’s daft, what if both you and another family member take the dog separately on the train

Don't kids travel for free up to age 6? How old is the mut?

3.

Yeah and the kids get a seat - unlike the dog who pays!

I assume you’re in quarantine and the dog is travelling alone?

Wasn’t a query for today

You can't buy a ticket for the dog on the app. You can buy a day pass, but that's the same as a ticket. You can buy a 1/2 ticket at terminal at the station. The conductors are usually forgiving if you don't get the dog pass and get help you get it on the train. I bought the annual pass for CHF 360 in the end.

Can’t you add your dog as a second passenger and buy a ticket that way?

Can't add dog as second passenger. I tried. Basically it asks for age and the dog is less than 6 and passengers less than 6 are free. So it's not the same.

I have my bike listed as “Velo” for my second passenger and have used it on shorter distance routes.

Don’t forget dog years are not the same as human years If you can do it for a bike you can sure do it for other things like a dog. You just need to make sure you end up with the right price ticket.
