Two decades of pet transport, decoded.
The Canine Cab name has been associated with pet transport since the mid-2000s. The brand was founded in Colorado as one of the early dedicated pet taxi and dog walking services on the Front Range, covering Denver, Colorado Springs, and Boulder. For nearly twenty years, the focus has stayed the same: getting pets to the vet, the groomer, the boarding spot, or across the country, safely and without the hassle most pet owners deal with.
Today, Canine Cab is a national editorial team led by Faz, a long-time pet enthusiast and pet-care advocate. We pull real operator quotes every month, decode airline pet policies as they change, and review every major US pet transport company. The original Colorado pet taxi service still runs - it's where the name comes from - while the editorial side covers pet transport across all 50 states and 30+ international destinations.
Pet transport is opaque on purpose. Marketplaces market themselves as cheap; concierge services market themselves as premium. The truth is in the numbers and the operator history. We publish those numbers and that history, and we keep them current.
