PadsPass Unveils Groundbreaking Digital Platform to Simplify Global Pet Travel Compliance

Leveraging fintech principles, PadsPass introduces a secure and scalable mobile solution to streamline international pet travel for families, airlines, and customs authorities.

WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, UNITED STATES Pets are more than companions—they’re family. And now, they’re getting the travel system they deserve. PadsPass, a trailblazing startup in travel-tech, is launching a first-of-its-kind digital compliance platform tailored to the complexities of international pet travel.

The innovation is deeply personal. Founder Lauren Anders Brown was inspired after a stressful international incident when her dog was temporarily detained at U.K. customs due to a paperwork error. Having flown over 75 times internationally with her dog, Brown saw the need for a streamlined, intelligent system to ensure pets can cross borders safely and compliantly. “Pets deserve a seamless travel experience, just like humans,” she said. “PadsPass applies the same precision and security you’d expect from financial technology.”

What PadsPass Does

PadsPass integrates veterinary health records, destination-specific regulations, and real-time data updates into a single, encrypted mobile application. Key features include:

• Centralized access to vaccination records, health certificates, and microchip data
• Automated compliance workflows based on up-to-date travel requirements
• Secure, permission-based sharing with airlines, customs agents, vets, and pet transport providers
• Risk mitigation tools to prevent detainment, fines, or medical emergencies

Initially launching for cross-border travel between the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Barbados, and Bermuda, it is built for rapid global expansion. The platform is already preparing to enter the European and Asia-Pacific markets in 2026.

Fintech-Level Trust for Furry Travelers

At its core, PadsPass is built with fintech-grade architecture. This includes encrypted data systems, role-based access controls, and real-time updates—ensuring all parties involved in pet transport are working from the same trusted data. “We treat health and identity records with the same care as banking information,” Brown emphasized. “Our mission is to make pet mobility frictionless and secure.”

Global organizations are taking notice. The platform has garnered early interest from regulatory and professional bodies such as the World Health Organization, British Veterinary Association, and the International Air Travel Association—groups aligned with PadsPass’s mission to standardize international pet travel protocols.
