Patch Blog: Shabby Dog Unveils New Pet Taxi

The Shabby Dog (www.theshabbydog.com), Sierra Madre’s premiere pet retailer will soon offer transportation services for pets. To unveil the new pet taxi, The Shabby Dog invites the community of Sierra Madre, Pasadena and its outlying sister communities to come see and experience the new “Shabby Cab” on Saturday, July 28, 2012. As part of The Shabby Dog's current summer events series, this event will also feature a hot dog cookout and a pet adoption.

Guests are invited to check out the Shabby Cab, which will be parked at its Shabby Dog headquarters. Pet owners and visitors have an opportunity to look at the van and know for themselves that their pets will be in a clean and safe vehicle.

Convenience means peace of mind, and with the Shabby Dog’s new van, round-trip home pick-ups and drop-offs make life easier for both pet and owner.  Like a taxi or shuttle service for humans, the new "Shabby Cab" will transport pets to and/or from grooming appointments (www.shabbydoggrooming.com), doggie daycare and/or boarding services provided exclusively by The Shabby Dog.

The van is equipped with crates to keep pets safely secured while they is being driven to their destination. The Shabby Cab is the stress-free way to get pets to their appointments at The Shabby Dog (www.shabbydoggrooming.com/services.html). The Shabby Cab relieves pet owners’ often hectic schedules because they no longer have to “work around” their pets’ needs. This will be especially beneficial for pet owners who have limited mobility. With the convenience of the Shabby Cab, pets can arrive at their grooming appointments, to daycare or boarding hassle-free. Pet owners no longer have to worry about “when” or “if” they have time to drive their pets to The Shabby Dog for the services. The Shabby Cab will make pet care more manageable for all pet owners.

“This service is all about convenience for customers.  I have pets, and I know what busy is, even with my home and businesses in close proximity to each other,” says Shabby Dog owner, Sandy Lewis-Duvall. “I want my customers to  experience ease and a little bit of pampering when they know that the Shabby Cab will drive their pets to  and from their designated appointments.”

The Shabby Cab services will begin its official first run of pick-ups and drop-offs in the week of July 23, 2012. Transportation requests must be made at least 24 hours in advance.
