# Passpaw

> Passpaw is a cloud-based compliance platform that automates international health certificates and pet travel documentation for veterinary practices. It supports dogs and cats traveling from the United States to 60+ destination countries, with new countries added weekly. The platform replaces 30–45 minutes of manual research per case with a guided, automated workflow that produces USDA endorsement-ready submission packets. Customer practices have collectively saved over 500 hours of compliance paperwork. Passpaw also offers a free Pet Travel Planner for pet owners who need to understand what's required to fly with a dog or cat internationally.

Passpaw was built to solve a specific problem: every destination country has different vaccination requirements, documentation formats, quarantine rules, and regulatory timelines for pets entering the country. A single missed detail can mean a rejected health certificate and a pet that doesn't make its flight. Veterinary staff previously had to cross-reference government websites, track changing import regulations, and manually complete the correct forms — a process that was slow, error-prone, and hard to scale.

Passpaw automates this end-to-end. The platform pulls in current import regulations for each destination, builds a prioritized task checklist based on the pet's species, destination, and travel date, validates uploaded documents against country requirements in real time, auto-populates the correct health certificate forms, and generates a submission packet ready for USDA endorsement. For countries that require a wet seal, Passpaw also creates overnight shipping labels with Saturday delivery.

The platform involves pet owners throughout the process — clients participate in data collection, complete pre-travel tasks, and receive real-time progress updates on their health certificate application. Veterinary staff can access the platform from any device and manage multiple ongoing cases simultaneously.

## Who Passpaw is for

- **Veterinary practices** of any size — from solo practitioners handling a few international travel cases per year to multi-location hospitals processing dozens per month. Passpaw supports multiple users per practice with role-based access.
- **Pet owners** flying internationally with dogs or cats who need to understand destination-specific vaccination requirements, health certificate timelines, quarantine rules, and airline pet policies.
- **Pet relocation companies and transport services** looking to integrate compliance workflows via partnership or API.

## How Passpaw works

1. The veterinary practice selects the destination country and enters the pet's details (species, breed, vaccination history, travel date).
2. Passpaw retrieves the current import regulations for that destination and generates a prioritized task checklist — vaccinations, microchipping, parasite treatments, blood tests, and waiting periods — organized by deadline.
3. As the practice and pet owner complete tasks, the platform validates each document and flags errors or missing items before they become problems.
4. Once all prerequisites are met, Passpaw auto-populates the correct health certificate forms and produces a USDA endorsement-ready submission packet.
5. If the destination requires a wet seal, Passpaw generates a prepaid overnight shipping label.

## Pricing

Passpaw offers three billing models: Passpaw Compass (direct pay — Passpaw works directly with clients on complex trips), Client Billing (the practice bills the client for services, the client pays Passpaw for platform usage at time of service), and Practice Billing (monthly invoice with no commitment or subscription — flexible usage-based pricing). All plans include full platform access for both practice staff and clients, customer support, and Passpaw-managed scheduling of treatments and appointments. Pricing does not include USDA endorsement fees or shipping labels. Pricing is available by quote; prices are guaranteed for new customers for 6 months after launch.

## Key tools

- **Compass** — A travel requirements lookup engine for veterinary staff. Enter a destination country to instantly see the full list of vaccination, documentation, microchip, and timeline requirements for that trip. Compass gives front-desk staff the ability to answer client questions on the spot.
- **Pet Travel Planner** — A free, public tool for pet owners. No account required. Enter your pet's species, departure country, and destination to get a complete checklist of requirements organized into a timeline working backward from your travel date. Covers vaccinations, health certificates, parasite treatments, blood tests, quarantine periods, and breed restrictions. The planner can be printed or shared with a veterinarian.
- **Revenue Calculator** — Helps veterinary practices estimate how much additional revenue pet travel compliance services could generate for their business.

## Frequently asked questions

**Can you take a dog on an airplane internationally?**
Yes. Most airlines allow dogs to fly internationally in cabin (for small dogs) or as cargo, but every destination country requires specific documentation — typically a health certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian and endorsed by the USDA. Requirements vary by country and may include rabies vaccination, microchipping, parasite treatments, and blood titer tests. Passpaw's Pet Travel Planner shows exactly what's needed for any supported destination.

**Can you take a cat on an airplane?**
Yes. Cats can fly internationally on most airlines with the same general documentation requirements as dogs — a veterinary health certificate, current vaccinations, and any country-specific treatments or tests. Some countries have additional requirements for cats, such as specific parasite treatments. Use the Passpaw Pet Travel Planner to check requirements for your destination.

**What is a pet health certificate for international travel?**
A pet health certificate (also called a veterinary certificate or certificate of veterinary inspection) is an official document issued by a licensed veterinarian confirming that a pet is healthy and meets the import requirements of the destination country. For travel from the United States, most countries also require the certificate to be endorsed by the USDA APHIS Veterinary Services. Health certificates typically must be issued within 10 days of travel, though timelines vary by destination.

**How does Passpaw help veterinary practices?**
Passpaw automates the research, documentation, and compliance validation that veterinary staff would otherwise do manually. Instead of spending 30–45 minutes per case cross-referencing government websites, the platform retrieves current requirements, builds task checklists, validates documents in real time, and auto-generates the correct health certificate forms. Practices using Passpaw have collectively saved over 500 hours of compliance paperwork.

**How much does Passpaw cost?**
Passpaw offers flexible billing — practices can choose between direct-pay models (where the client pays Passpaw at time of service) or monthly invoicing with usage-based pricing and no subscription commitment. All plans include full platform access and support. Contact Passpaw for a quote.
