Another factor that’s common between the cab services mentioned is that they never hesitate to volunteer in rescuing or transporting stray dogs or cats that are injured and found on the streets — they quickly double up into animal ambulances and have helped save many lives.

This was one of the pioneers in pet taxis in the city and has helped many a family transport their pets safely. While they not only provide vehicles for vet visits, they would love to drive your pooch and you to the beach to enjoy a day of sun, sand and waves. If you’re relocating to another city, their services can be availed to help shift your pet to your new home safely. “Initially, our dog was a little terrified when we took him for the first time, and was switching between the front and back seats continuously, but the driver was great and he managed it well,” said a happy customer.

An unexpected injury or accident happening to your dog/cat is every pet parent’s nightmare and god forbid it’s at night. There are very few 24x7 veterinary hospitals open at odd hours of the day or night and finding a cab (if you don’t have a vehicle) is out of the question. This is where Pets on Wheels steps in — Prasad B. had to say, “Recently, I availed their services to transport my dog to the veterinary hospital in Vepery. I was happy that their vehicle was sparkling clean and they were right on time. I must say that the driver was very obliging and waited for nearly two hours without any fuss.”

A cab service exclusively for pets, they have transported many animals before both within Chennai and inter-city. A client who had to transport her dog to Bengaluru shared, “I don’t think my dog would have found a more understanding person to help transport him. The handler had good communication skills and was able to make my pet feel at ease through the six-hour journey.”
