Dresden's DVB tram and bus network is dog-friendly but rule-strict. Dogs travel free in a closed carrier; outside a carrier they must wear a muzzle on a short leash and the owner needs a Fahrrad-/Hundekarte (bike-or-dog ticket). Holders of an annual or monthly VVO ticket can take a dog free; Deutschlandticket holders need a separate dog ticket. The €20 fine for a missing muzzle is enforced.
💡 A soft fabric muzzle is enough to comply — keep one in the bag, controllers do board the trams and check.
💡 Buy the half-fare dog ticket at the DB ticket machine before boarding — there is no surcharge if added in advance.
💡 Funk-Taxi 0351 211211 keeps a registered list of pet-friendly drivers — call rather than rely on app filters.
