Ahead of the Puppy Bowl on February 9, Lyft is partnering
with Animal Planet to offer discounted Pet Rides and encourage pet adoptions
before the Big
Game.
Designed with animal lovers in mind, Lyft’s Pet Rides allows
riders to match with pet-friendly drivers happy to welcome furry friends into
their vehicles. For just $4 plus tax, you can take your playful pup or curious
cat with you on your ride and the fee goes directly to the driver.
To celebrate the Puppy Bowl, Lyft is offering 50 percent off
two Pet Rides and up to $20 per ride with the code PUPPYBOWL starting February
2 through February 9.
The Puppy Bowl’s mission is to highlight adoptable pets, and
these rides can even be used to get to and from animal shelter visits with your
new adopted or fostered pup in tow.
During the week of Super
Bowl 59 and Puppy Bowl, pet riders in New Orleans will also have the
opportunity to be surprised with a Pupmobile on their pickup. The vehicle is
equipped with Puppy Bowl swag like dog bandanas and toys to be gifted to lucky
pets and their owners.
Lyft has also unveiled new data around where —and
when—people are taking their pets in the US.
Riders are most pet-forward on the West Coast. The 10 cities
where pet mode is most popular are in the states of Arizona, Colorado,
Washington, California and Oregon.
The top pet ride destinations are Mission Dolores Park in
San Francisco and Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Dog PPL, a private social club in
Los Angeles that includes a dog park, lounge, bar and café represents 22
percent of pet rides to parks.

- Pet businesses - 9.58%
- Pet store - 3.41%
- Camping / park - .17%

The most popular time for pet rides is the weekend

people are taking their pets to work include:
