Pet Taxi in Kuwait City: what to know
Greater Kuwait City runs from central Sharq and the coastal apartments of Salmiya to family areas such as Jabriya, Mishref and Salwa, and further south to Mangaf, Fintas and Abu Halifa. Apartments dominate in some districts and villas in others, so pet care needs differ by area.
In Kuwait's summer heat even a short wait outside can be dangerous for a pet. A pet taxi takes your pet to the vet, groomer or boarding host in a pre-cooled vehicle, with GPS tracking in the app.
Heat and weather in Kuwait City
Kuwait has some of the hottest summers anywhere — daytime highs can pass 50°C — and dust storms are common. In summer, outdoor time should be brief and limited to the coolest hours; indoor enrichment matters more than distance walked.
Ask the driver to pre-cool the car in summer, never leave a pet in a parked vehicle, and use a secure crate or harness. Flag medication, anxiety or multiple pets in the request.
Planning around the seasons in Kuwait City
During the hot months (May to September), book rides for the cooler hours and ask for the car to be pre-cooled; before school holidays, Eid and the winter break, book vet check-ups and boarding drop-offs early.
Before you book
Drivers upload their driving licence, vehicle registration and photos of the vehicle, which the OnlyPaw team reviews before they can offer pet taxi rides.
Keep vaccination records up to date and check your building's rules on pets.

Your payment is held and only released to the provider after the service is completed.
How are pet taxi drivers in Kuwait City vetted?
Every pet taxi driver in Kuwait City must submit a government ID, a selfie, a driving licence, vehicle registration and vehicle photos, and pass a pet-safety knowledge test with a 70% pass mark. The OnlyPaw team reviews each application — and each additional service — before it goes live.
Where can a pet taxi take my pet in Kuwait City?
Anywhere the driver agrees to go — typically vet clinics, groomers, boarding hosts, a friend's home or your new address. Add both addresses and any special needs when you request the trip, and confirm details with the driver in the chat.
What if I need to cancel?
Each provider uses one of three cancellation policies. Under the default moderate policy you get a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start, 50% if you cancel at least 2 hours before, and nothing in the last 2 hours. The flexible policy refunds in full up to 2 hours before the start; the strict policy refunds in full from 48 hours and 50% from 24 hours before.
What happens in an emergency?
Every active booking has an SOS button in the app. It alerts the other party and the OnlyPaw team straight away. If your pet needs urgent medical care, contact a vet or emergency clinic first.
