Getting dog around Singapore

[tay-hope]

I am in desperate need of some kind of pet transport to get my two small dogs from one location to another. I have looked at pet taxi companies and they are good but quite expensive. Does anyone have any recommendations for more inexpensive transport? I am aware that some normal taxi companies will take pets but unfortunately a majority of drivers reject passengers with pets. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Have you called the dispatches to book a taxi directly, telling them you have dogs with you?? I have never been refused a taxi this way. I don't think you could possibly have tried very hard.

Buy a lead and teach them to walk!

Poodlek - unrelated and random - I saw you at CQ on Tuesday night by the fountain with the family. Either that or you have a double in Singapore!

I have only ever traveled once with my dogs, I ordered a cab (informing I had 2 dogs in a carrier) from the AVA centre at the airport and was twice rejected when the taxis arrived. So haven't had a good experience, however when I did get a taxi, the driver had no problem with the dogs. I am just looking for a more reliable option.

If this was possible I would do this and not have posted this post.

Then you need to call back the taxi company and tear them a new one. It is their responsibility to inform the drivers of what they are picking up; more likely the drivers saw this as some easier way to avoid the queue going into the airport and pick up a more "hassle free" fare. If this ever happens again take down their number (the numbers off the license plate) and let the dispatch have at them.

In two years of booking taxis this way I have never once been refused.

What's CQ? I'm pretty sure I was home Tuesday night, but I don't remember that far back, lol. Mr. K was working that night, I know that much.
