When Pranav Lokhande’s dog fell ill at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic’s first wave and his car broke down, it was challenging to convince cab drivers to allow his pet on board. Determined to prevent others from facing the same struggle, Lokhande decided to take matters into his own hands. As a canine behaviourist, he launched a pet cab service that operates not only across the Mumbai but also intercity and interstate. His cabs are modified, replacing the front seat with a comfortable pet bed that can accommodate large dogs.
An acrylic shield isolates the driver’s seat, allowing passengers and their pets to enjoy a safe and comfortable journey. “Each driver is trained and coached to be around the pet. So, the ride is smooth for pet and driver both,” he says. But starting the service was not without obstacles. After multiple visits to the regional transport office, an official informed Lokhande that as long as the car’s chassis remains unmodified, the cab service can operate legally like a regular car.
RECOMMENDED BY: Rajas Pardesi. Sdaash pet cabs have been a god-sent service, very professional and extremely comfortable for your furry friends. My dog was absolutely comfortable during the rides, which helped him calm down at the vet as well!
