Full-Max LLC launched the "Pet-exclusive Taxi" service, the first full-scale animal transport service in Gifu City (according to their own research), starting in April 2026.
■ Background: Aging Pets and Owners, and Mobility Barriers
In recent years, as pets in Gifu Prefecture age, and with the increasing number of elderly pet owners and households without private cars, serious challenges have emerged such as "unable to take pets to the hospital" and "no means of transport in pet emergencies." Furthermore, public transportation often has many restrictions on pet accompaniment, causing psychological burden on owners.

3. Proxy Transport "Without Owner" Possible: Offers a plan where staff can act on behalf of owners who cannot accompany their pets due due to work or caregiving responsibilities, handling transport to the hospital, reception, and waiting during examinations.
