About PadsPass
We're building the Digital Pet Passport™ that everyone can trust.
PadsPass turns travel compliance into a Digital Pet Passport. So a pet parent walks up to the desk with a verified record, not a folder full of guesses.
Our mission
Pets are family. Their paperwork should travel like it.
The pet-travel industry runs on stapled rabies certificates, phone photos of veterinary stamps, and emails that begin "I think this is right." Every step of the journey — the clinic, the airline, the customs officer — looks at a different version of the same record.
So a pet gets refused at the counter. A health certificate expires the night before departure. A microchip number is one digit off. The thing every pet parent fears is a paperwork problem, not a problem with their pet.
We're building the one place every record lives. Verified by the clinic that wrote it. Reviewed by the airline in the format they need it in. Recognized by the country that lets the pet in. So flying with a dog or cat feels like a holiday, and not the work of a compliance audit.
the founding moment
"Years of pet travel taught us what the system actually depends on: a dozen humans interpreting fragmented rules across a single trip. Pre-approval granted by the destination authority, then rescinded at the border. A dewormer recorded just outside the window. A veterinary portal hand-off that didn't hand off. Any single piece can break the whole journey. We came home and started building the single passport every step of the journey could trust."
The people building it
The team behind PadsPass.
A team across product, brand, veterinary partnerships, and compliance — because pet travel takes more than two. Travel with a dog or cat should feel like flying with family, and building that takes a village.
Our Advisors
The experts who pressure-test our work.
A standing group of veterinarians, regulatory specialists, and industry voices who review where the passport is going before it ships. Our advisors are how PadsPass stays grounded in the realities of how pets actually move across borders.
Verified by veterinary and pet-travel experts
Built with the people who write the records.
Pet-travel compliance only works if the clinics who issue records, the regulators who read them, and the agents who clear pets are all in the same conversation. So we put them in the same room.
Veterinary advisory group
A standing group of practicing veterinarians who pressure-test new destination flows, signing requirements, and CheckPoint workflows before they ship to clinics.
Partner agencies & pilots
Active pilots with government agencies on the regulator side of pet movement. The first veterinarian-signed health certificates issued through PadsPass cleared agencies, not just airlines.
Industry standards alignment
Our compliance engine aligns to IATA Live Animal Regulations, OIE/WOAH disease-status framing, and country-specific import requirements. Rules update when policy does.
