Dog-friendly taxi:
travel with your companion

When adopting from an SPA shelter or another rescue organisation, plan a pet-friendly transfer with the team: discuss the dog’s temperament, habits and collection time. Make sure you can meet their needs at home. Check the adoption fee and what it covers, such as identification and vaccinations. Request the adoption agreement or transfer document, veterinary certificate, health record and proof of I-CAD registration, the French pet identification register. Check your contact details, the change of registered keeper and the formalities for the French certificate of commitment and knowledge, including the waiting period before collection. Identification and transfer documents — Service Public (French)

On collection day, bring a properly fitted collar or harness, a lead and any belongings supplied by the shelter. If your new companion is nervous in cars, mention this when booking your dog-friendly taxi so we can plan the journey and their space with you. We agree on the collection time with the people involved and arrange travel with or without a crate, according to the chosen configuration.

Before your private dog transfer home, secure windows, balconies and garden exits. Prepare a bed in a quiet spot, drinking water and the dog’s usual food. Let them explore at their own pace, with gradual, supervised introductions to children and other animals. Keep early visits limited and establish regular feeding and walking times. If settling in proves difficult, contact the rescue for post-adoption support.

Tip: Before leaving the shelter, ask the team to check the harness fit and save the number of the person providing your adoption follow-up.

At a conformation dog show, a judge assesses pedigree dogs against their breed standard, including their structure and movement. The regulations set out puppy, junior or veteran classes and progression to the main ring. To plan your private dog transfer, check the arrival time, ring number and exhibitors’ entrance. Prepare the requested identification, vaccination records and pedigree documents, such as the LOF birth certificate or an equivalent recognised record. Check veterinary inspection requirements and the rules on when dogs may leave before arranging your return pickup.

Pack a suitable show lead, a bowl, water and a familiar mat for rest breaks. Give your dog time away from the bustle when needed and avoid forcing repeated interactions. When booking your dog-friendly taxi, describe the space needed for the crate, suitcases and exhibitors’ equipment. AnimalCab can then plan the load and drop-off at the agreed entrance, with the return journey arranged in advance.

Pet exhibitions offer opportunities to meet exhibitors and enjoy demonstrations and workshops. Their admission conditions can differ from those of a dog show. Animal Expo – Animalis Show is announced for 24–25 October 2026 at the Parc Floral de Paris, with the Natura Dog Party among its activities. Check the latest programme, dog ticket arrangements and admission conditions before booking a dog-friendly chauffeur service for your visit. Programme and visitor information — Animal Expo (French)

Tip: Keep the entry confirmation and access map available on your phone, then send your driver the exact entrance where you need to be dropped off.

A countryside break gives you and your dog new walks and landscapes to enjoy together. Before booking a cottage or holiday home, check its pet policy, garden fencing and access to nearby roads. Keep the dog’s usual food, bedding and lead within easy reach. For a pet-friendly transfer to your holiday home, give AnimalCab the accommodation’s exact address, passenger count and luggage volume.

For a long-distance dog-friendly taxi journey, arrange breaks with us and keep the bowl handy. At each stop, clip on the lead before opening the door so your companion cannot jump out alone into unfamiliar surroundings. Adapt walks to your dog’s age, fitness and the weather. Before travelling, ask your vet which parasite prevention suits the destination; after walks, check your dog’s coat even if they are treated.

During the stay, supervise your dog and keep them away from livestock, crops and wildlife. Observe signs and marked hunting areas. In France, from 15 April to 30 June, dogs must be on a lead in forests outside forest paths; local rules or protected areas may impose stricter conditions. For your return, book a dog-friendly chauffeur service with your preferred departure time and details of any extra luggage. Walking your dog in French forests — ONF (French)

Tip: Before your holiday, save the details of a vet near the cottage and pack a walking bag with water, a bowl, a lead and a tick-removal tool.
