Guest repliedYou really need to be looking for some "value add" to this venture.
In addition to the pet taxi offer a pet exercise service...tie the feckers to the bumper & bingo! double invoice for the same journey.

Guest repliedI used to drive a taxi - I once got asked if I would agree to take a dog in the car
"No - no pets allowed (I explained about poeople with allergies, pet hairs etc)"
"I've got to take it to the vets - I'll put it in its transport box, so it won't drop hairs etc - it'll be very quiet"
Eventually I relented
The dog was very quiet
It was dead
And had been for about two days
Half-way to the vets, the smell hit me - it took four days to get the smell out of the taxi
And I didn't even get a tip

Good luck with the venture - keep a can of industrial strength deodourant in the van, though

Guest repliedSounds like a great idea. Taxi driver says "get that flea bag out out my taxi!". Having a specialist van is very good. Or for taking your pet crocodile down to the vets.
However, I'm puzzled as to who uses the service, and how often they need to transport their pets around (apart from vet visitis).
Is is looking good then Blow Bug ? It sounds different. I guess that if you were in the States, you'd be a millionaire by now.

Guest repliedI mistakenly gave my number to a dog and she was on the blower every day for a week.

Can you elaborate on what exactly this service does and how much it costs?
