Do taxis take pets?
No driver, whether from a ride-sharing app or a taxi company, can legally refuse to allow your service dog in their car. The same goes for Lyft and all taxi companies. Federal law requires all drivers to welcome service animals into their vehicles.
How do I transport my pet to the vet?
Cats and small animals should be in a secure pet carrier that is:
- Strong and waterproof.
- Well ventilated, allowing your pet to breathe easily.
- Enclosed, so they feel safe.
- Easily accessible, so the vet can quickly get access to your pet.
- For cats, the carrier should have holes large enough so that you can see them.
How do you transport a large dog to the vet?
The easiest and safest way to move an injured large dog is to use a stretcher of some sort. Any firm, flat object, even a wide wood board, can be used if the dog can be secured safely. Avoid twisting the dog’s neck and/or back. The head should ideally be held approximately 30 percent higher than the rear.
