Italian Trains - Returning from Ionian with dog - Urgent

[changeman]

We are coming back from the Ionian for the first time with our dog. Can anyone tell me if he can travel on the Venice to Paris sleeper train OR let me have a contact number for Artesia trains that I can call from Greece.
Thanks. This is a little urgent as we arrive in Venice on the ferry on the 5th Sept.

check the trenitalia website - there appears to be a direct sleeper departing 1959 arriving 0823.

Here's what I found re Artisia trains and pets:

is: A ticket must be purchased for domestic animals valid two months from date of issue. The price is euro 10 for all daytime journeys on Artesia trains. guide dogs... Small dogs that may travel in cages are free.

No mention of night-time journeys therefore...
