7 Pet Taxis You Must Try in Singapore (and tips on preparing your pet for a ride)

7 Pet Taxis You Must Try in Singapore (and tips on preparing your pet for a ride)

Pet Taxis are specially made for pets and they've been around helping pet owners move here and there in Singapore since the 1990s! Whether it’s a ride to the vet, dog runs, grooming shops, pet cafes, pet schools, or you just wanna head outdoors, pet taxis offer comfortable, safe, relaxed and stress-free experience for you and your pets.

 

Why choose a pet taxi?

  • It’s a better alternative if you don’t have a car or if you’re unable to drive.
  • It guarantees transport. Regular taxis or hail apps can reject your ride since not all drivers would want to deal with shedding fur and toilet accidents. Public transportation like buses and trains are not even options.
  • Vehicles are outfitted to cater to your pet’s needs. Special equipments such as seat covers and carriers are provided by some pet taxi services.
  • Driver is pet-friendly. Usually, pet taxi drivers are pet owners or pet lovers themselves and they know how to deal with animals.
  • It may be pricey but you’re getting your money’s worth.

2. Invest in a pet safety belt to clip into the harness to keep your pet safe and securely strapped in with the seat belt.

3. Pet booster seat is helpful when you’re carrying a smaller dog. It’s water-proof so you don’t have to worry about toilet accidents or carrying your dog covered in mud inside your car.

4. If you have a dog with car sickness or weak bladders, getting a seat cover may be useful. This is a hammock-style cover that also help your seats clean and free from fur.

5. When you have a medium to large dogs, it’s ideal to carry them in a crate inside an SUV for more safety.

6. While not all riders go the extra mile with offering hygiene products, it’s still safe to bring your own sanitary must-haves such as tissues, poo bags, diapers, pet-friendly cleaning spray, hand sanitiser or hand wipes, paw washer and towels.
