For the safety of your pet and our team:
Pets must be able to travel safely in a seated, lying, or secured position during transport.
Mobility Assistance is available for pets that require physical help entering or exiting the vehicle and may be subject to an additional fee.
We cannot transport pets that require continuous medical monitoring or specialized medical equipment.
We do not provide veterinary treatment or medical intervention during transport.
If your pet is experiencing a life-threatening medical emergency, please contact your veterinarian or the nearest emergency animal hospital immediately. Waggin Taxi can provide transportation to the veterinary facility once your pet is stable and able to travel safely.
