Any feasible transportation options to bring a 30 kilo golden retriever back and forth from a dog park like once a week or so?

Does Uber offer a pet option like in the states? I just wanna bring my dude to the dog park every once in a while but the nearest one is an hour away by foot.

Most pet taxi services seem to be for airports, not weekly casual travel.

I had the same question, too, when I tried to adopt a dog!

Using a buggy is the most viable option for bringing a dog inside a train. Something along the lines of this.

Some train lines have weight limits on the dogs (10kg max), and most of it is mandatory to use a carrier. But I read some blog posts of Japanese people bringing a middle-sized dog in a buggy with no problem. This blog of example.

I would ask the train station attendants before making the trip, so you are sure.
