Why Microchipping Matters and Why It’s at the Heart of PadsPass

At PadsPass, we believe that safe pet travel and peace of mind, starts with one small but powerful detail: your pet’s microchip.

Every year, thousands of lost pets are reunited with their families thanks to this tiny piece of technology. But just having a microchip isn’t enough. It needs to be registered, up to date, and connected to something more than just a database. That’s where PadsPass comes in.

🐾 A Microchip Is More Than a Safety Net: It’s Their Digital Identity!

A microchip gives your pet a permanent ID, a unique number that never changes. But too often, pet owners forget to register it properly or update the information when they move or change phone numbers. Without this step, the chip becomes just a number with nowhere to call home.

At PadsPass, we turn that microchip into more than a backup plan. We turn it into a passport.

From Microchip to Mobility: How PadsPass Works

The Digital Pet Passport is built on your pet’s microchip number. It’s the first step to unlocking a secure, digital profile that keeps your pet’s identity, health records, and travel approvals in one place.

Here’s how it works:

1. Add Your Pet: Start by entering your pet’s microchip number, this becomes their digital ID.

2. Upload Records: From vaccines to wellness checks, your vet can verify and approve everything inside the app.

3. Plan Travel: Access customized, step-by-step travel requirements based on your destination and timeline.

   
   

It’s that simple. And it all begins with a chip.

Why Microchips Matter Even More When You Travel

Crossing borders with your pet isn’t as simple as buying a plane ticket. Most countries and airlines require that pets be microchipped before they even board. That chip links to proof of vaccinations, health exams, and regulatory compliance.

No chip? No entry.

Outdated info? Risk of delays or denied boarding.

That’s why PadsPass makes microchip registration step one in every journey and ensures your pet’s info is current and compliant at every checkpoint.

💡 Tip from the Pack: Double Check Your Chip!

If it’s been a while, ask your vet to scan your pet’s microchip. Make sure it’s active, readable, and registered to your correct contact info. Then, add it to PadsPass to unlock a safer, simpler way to move through the world together.
