How Pet Taxi Services Are Changing the Game for Busy Pet Owners

Jun 20, 2024 | Blog, Cats, Dogs, PRA Blog

These days it’s not uncommon to put your pet in a cattery, doggy daycare or dog boarding. It’s a great way to keep your pet happy and entertained while you’re out being the kibble-earner. However, this also introduces the challenge of fitting their daycare drop-off into your hectic morning routine. That’s where pet taxi services come to save the day! These services are a great solution for transporting pets safely and reliably when their owners can’t. Having trouble picturing how that works? Let’s clarify by detailing what a pet taxi is, how it works, the costs associated and when using a pet taxi might be helpful for you and your hound!

What is a Pet Taxi?

A Pet Taxi is a specialised transportation service designed for pets, offering a safe and comfortable way to move animals from one location to another when their owners are unable to do so. Pet Taxis ensure pets are transported in a stress-free environment, whether it’s to doggy daycare, for a stay at a pet resort or a cattery. Equipped with secure carriers or leads and driven by professionals who are trained in pet care, Pet Taxis provide a level of convenience and safety that’s appreciated by both pets and their owners. This service is particularly beneficial for busy pet owners who are strapped for time.

The Convenience of Pet Taxi Services

For pet owners juggling work, personal commitments, and the care of their pets, finding the time to transport their pets can be challenging. Pet Taxis solve this problem by offering a reliable service that picks up and drops off your pet at your front door. Air-conditioned vehicles, secure compartments, and a smooth ride ensure that pets arrive at their destination calm and relaxed. For pets that are anxious travellers or for owners concerned about the risks of transporting pets in crowded public transport or personal vehicles not equipped for pets, Pet Taxis offer a much-needed solution.

Pricing and Options for Pet Taxi Service

Pet Resorts Australia offers a variety of Pet Taxi services tailored to meet different needs and distances, ensuring your pet can enjoy the convenience of transportation without any hassle. Whether it’s a trip from home to the resort or a visit to the vet, there’s an option available to suit every requirement. Here’s a breakdown of the pricing and options provided for their Pet Taxi service:

Pet Taxi from Home: For distances over 40KM, prices are available upon request, ensuring that even those a bit farther away can avail of the service. For trips within a closer range, the rate starts from $68 each way, with a discounted rate of $40 for each additional pet. This option is perfect for pet owners looking for door-to-door service without the worry of long-distance travel.

Pet Taxi from Participating Vet: If your pet needs a lift from a participating vet, the service is available at $35 each way, with a discounted additional pet rate of $20. This service provides an easy solution for veterinary visits, making it less of a logistical challenge for pet owners.

Doggy Day Care Pet Taxi: Specifically designed for those enrolling their pets in Doggy Daycare, this service offers different rates based on distance from the resort:

Within 0-10KM: $15 each way

Within 11-15KM: $25 each way

Within 16-20KM: $35 each way

21+KM and beyond: $65 each way

This tiered pricing structure ensures that your furry friend won’t miss a day of fun, play, and relaxation at the Doggy Daycare, regardless of your location.

It’s important to note that the Pet Taxi service operates from Monday to Friday, catering to the majority of pet owners’ schedules. For those interested in utilising the service for the Southern Highlands Resort, Pet Taxi is exclusively available for home pick-up and drop-off within the Southern Highlands region, ensuring those pets in the area are not left out.
