utmost love and care. As we are very passionate about our own pets as family members, we will
never forget that your pet is a part of your family. We will transport each pet individually allowing us to
give the best care to your pet and a more accurate pick up time frame for your convenience. Our
handler is USDA certified veterinary nurse and your pet is insured while under our care.

Zilla's Dream Bed and Breakfast for dogs opening on 8/1/07
After much thought and a lot of encouragement from our existing clients, we have decided to
convert the downstairs portion of our home to a bed and breakfast for doggies. Zilla’s Dream Bed
and Breakfast consists of 2 doggy bedrooms complete with toddler beds, dog beds, lots of toys and
all the comforts for a puppy away from home. Each room has a large window that looks at our front
yard. Our clients are encouraged to bring their own dog food and anything that will make their
puppy feel home when they are here at doggy camp. Our office also is a large room attached to
the doggy bedrooms that will offer indoor play area for our guests.
Our property is located in Brandywine Maryland and consists of almost 13 acres of wooded land
abundant with all types of wildlife. The puppies staying with us will get a chance to meet our rescued
horses, get nice walks in the woods may be even get to chase a bunny or two or just enjoy the
scenery and companionship.
We are setting up this bed and breakfast especially to offer an alternative to dog owners with older
dogs or dogs recovering from surgery, diabetic dogs that need injections daily, or dogs that need to
be on complicated medication regimens. We can also offer transport to their vet during their stay for
ongoing therapies like radiation therapy or chemo therapy. With our new set up downstairs we will be
able to handle dogs with walking problems, recovering from back surgeries etc. since they never
would have to make it up and down steps. We also will be able to handle any diet
recommendations even if we need to cook for your pup when you are away.
My hope with starting this is that owners with older or sick pets would at last have a choice of leaving
their pets in a home environment but will rest assured that all their pet’s medication needs will be
handled appropriately in conjunction with their veterinarian’s directions.
Now, we will also offer this service to any pampered dog that would prefer to go to camp instead of
a kennel while their humans are on vacation.So, if you have an extra special pup give us a call.
Moving?
Yes, we can help you with everything necessary for the planning and executing of your pet's move
within USA or overseas. Just call us and we will help in getting everything ready from the vet visits to
paperwork necessary to make the move go smoothly for you and your pets. Specializing in moves to
Turkey but will arrange for getting your pets anywhere in the world.
Animals Serviced
Just about any pet, from guinea pigs to mini-pigs.
Vehicles
Vet Taxi uses a 2000 Dodge Durango and a 2006 Dodge Caravan with ample room for several
different methods of transport. Our vehicle is equipped with specialty equipment for comfortable and
safe transport of pets and a Global Positioning System to make sure we always arrive on time.
Pets are transported(individually) using a method appropriate to both the type and temperament of
the animal. Owner's are also welcome to ride with their pet if they wish as long as they let us know
ahead of time. Dogs can be transported using specialized seat belts, in crates, or in the
Puppy-Room in the back for well behaved girls and boys. Cats, however, are always transported in
crates. Other species, such as birds and reptiles will also be transported in cages suitable for the pet.
All pets get treats for being good,toys to play with during transport potty breaks before and after trips
and are offered water regularly. Extra love, hugs and kisses are always free off charge and offered
frequently.
Post-Vet Exam Consultation
As a veterinary technician(nurse), ilkim Boyle, will attend the exam with your pet and ask the questions
that need to be asked. She will then let you know the results of the exam through either a face to
face or telephone consultation, whichever is more convenient for you (even after normal business
hours).
Vet Taxi would be pleased to make the appointments for your pet’s veterinary needs at a clinic of your
choice. If you would like some advice regarding general practice veterinary hospitals, or specialty
clinics, Vet Taxi would be pleased to offer some recommendations.
Future Services
In the future, Vet Taxi is considering extending its services to providing training and behavior clinics
and seminars. We are also considering extending our services to emergency transportation of horses.
We will let you know as soon as we can offer these or other services.
