TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Pet owners now have the opportunity to travel abroad with their furry companions, thanks to a new pet travel service launched by tourism operators. This service, available at Taoyuan International Airport (桃園國際機場), allows travelers to bring their pets along, offering a unique experience for both owners and their beloved animals.
Travelers at the airport can now witness three well-behaved dogs accompanying their owners as they prepare to travel abroad. One pet owner expressed joy at the chance to take his pet along, praising the pet's calm demeanor and expressing eagerness to participate in the service again.
Another owner shared past frustrations with restrictive regulations that required pets to remain in the cargo hold, which often discouraged her from traveling with her dog. This new service alleviates such worries, enabling a more pleasant travel experience for pet owners.
Yaying Lee (李雅楹), an ambassador for the pet cabin service, highlighted how this initiative allows pets to join their owners on international trips rather than being left at home or in hotels. This service aligns with the growing trend of treating pets as family members.
By fulfilling owners' desires to travel with their furry friends, the service creates a win-win situation for both parties. It underscores the increasing demand for pet-friendly travel options, reflecting a shift in how society views the role of pets in family life.
