Transporting Pets in Taxis: How to Move Your Furry Friend Without Hassles?

Transporting animals always raises questions during moves or vacations. People and their pets often fall victim to pet transportation issues, unsure how to solve them. It's especially tricky if the owner doesn't have their own car, as rides in taxis or buses can stress animals, making them aggressive, loud, or restless. In such cases, there are specific rules for transporting household pets and tips on how to do it with minimal problems and discomfort.

First, let's mention the established safety rules that allow for relatively calm and quiet pet transport without disturbing the driver or other passengers. There's a law outlining how to properly and safely secure pets in vehicle interiors, but primarily, the driver sets the transportation conditions—so discuss this with them in advance.

The Key Things to Follow:

• For medium and large breed dogs, a mat and muzzle are mandatory: to avoid soiling everything or attacking the driver, plus a leash is required—no matter the breed or size, especially for dogs;

• For small animals (rabbits, hamsters, cats, rats), a special carrier is needed where they can sit comfortably for the entire trip. For birds and parrots, similarly—a cage or box with ventilation holes;

• Small breed dogs and cats are usually transported in their own individual carriers;

• Do not allow the pet to roam the interior—they might distract the driver, press something, or break it, even if you're confident in your pet's calmness. Rules must be followed, as even domestic animals' behavior is unpredictable in stressful situations;

• Always bring necessary documents that the driver might request (veterinary passport or proof of rabies vaccination);

• If the animal has an illness, it cannot be transported; also, avoid feeding it a few hours before the trip; to prevent misunderstandings, always discuss the ride in advance with the driver, covering all nuances, rules, and pricing.

You can train your pet for taxi or other transport rides. Start simple: place them in an unstarted car, let them get used to it, reward with treats and positive emotions to instill calmness and quiet. Over time, your pet may adapt to trips and handle them with dignity.

If you follow these simple rules, you can successfully and carefully transport your pet to its destination. It's important to consider not just your own desires and capabilities, but also respect the driver, avoiding pointless conflicts or scandals.
