The Digital Pet Passport is a digital version of the paper documents that contain information about a pet's identity, health status, and vaccination history. It is designed to provide a convenient and efficient way to store and share information about a pet's health and vaccination history, similar to a human digital passport.
A pet digital passport typically includes the following information:
Identification: The pet's name, breed, age or date of birth, sex, and microchip number.
Owner information: Contact information for the pet's owner, including address, phone number, and veterinarian details
Treatment records: Any additional relevant information, such as travel history or medications being taken
Immunization records: A list of vaccinations administered to the pet, including the type of vaccine, the dosage, and the date of administration
Health certificates: Proof that the pet is healthy and free from diseases
Destination requirements: Based on the records in your pet's profile, the PadsPass Digital Pet Passport shows destination-specific requirements for supported destinations (US, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, UK, and EU).
By keeping your pet's records in one place, the Digital Pet Passport helps you catch common paperwork errors early — the kinds of mistakes that often occur with physical paperwork, including but not limited to:
Missing a number in the microchip number, most often results in a refusal of travel or re-certification for travel
Incorrect dates of immunizations administered, which affect travel eligibility
Wrong parasite treatments administered, which can result in seizure of the pet and/or quarantine or return to origin.
A digital pet passport makes pet travel more efficient while still maintaining essential health and safety standards found in traditional paper pet passports.
The Digital Pet Passport does not replace any documents a destination officially requires. Requirements vary by airline, route, and destination — always confirm current rules with your airline and the destination's official animal import authority; final acceptance rests with them. Medical decisions such as vaccines, treatments, and fitness to travel belong to your pet's licensed veterinarian.
