Life as a pet parent is not all rosy as it may seem. Along with it comes the challenges and responsibilities that are as real and just as chaotic as being a human parent. From regular visits to the vet to spoiling your fur-babies to a much needed day out, travelling with pets for pet owners without a private vehicle, particularly in Indian cities, is an obstacle with no definite solution in near-sight.
Offering a bleak yet promising respite to this is the emerging concept of Pet Taxis. Self-explanatory in its name, the services offered extends to both solo pet ferry services and accommodating pets and their owners as well. The service, which currently covers intra and inter-city travel within Delhi-NCR, Faridabad, and Gurugram, offers pet travel services at nominal charges. Here are a few that we’ve shortlisted so you can get your furry family members to where they need to go safely and quickly!
