Quick Pitch

PadsPass is an app-based platform to manage pet care and travel using unique digital IDs and health records that align with travel requirements. The technology-based compliance approach reduces human error and allows pet parents to make the best decisions for their pets. 

Product/Service Details

PadsPass currently has two products: The Free Microchip Database for Bermuda and PadsPass 2.0. The Microchip Database is a free platform for humans of Bermuda-based pets and pets traveling to Bermuda to register their pet’s microchip and important medical information for reunification. It's the first of its kind - a searchable and secure platform by microchip number available 24/7 to all of the veterinarians and animal charities in Bermuda for free. Users subscribe to our newsletter. Our aim is to convert them to our paid platform PadsPass 2.0. The streamlined compliance system ensures a pet traveling by airplane in-cabin can complete the necessary paperwork to meet the health and travel requirements for Bermuda without human error.

Our newest version of PadsPass, due to release in 2025, will be the go-to platform for pet identification used by transportation services, border agents, and pet service providers internationally. It will also include features for pet care through partners including health, pet sitting/day care, dog walks, grooming, accessible venues, reunification and adoption.

With 5 out of 5 successful uses of PadsPass 2.0 for travel between Bermuda, US and the Azores to date, it is the first app based platform to facilitate international travel for pets.

How We're Different

There is nothing like PadsPass currently on the market, and there’s no better person to solve the problems of pet travel than someone who has faced the consequences of that very issue. Our founder, Lauren, experienced this firsthand when her dog was taken from her at an airport due to three points of human error: her own, her veterinarian's, and a government agency that mistakenly approved her arrival. This incident ignited the passion behind PadsPass, transforming it from a simple digital pet passport into a comprehensive compliance-based system designed to prevent avoidable mistakes. Our mission is to ensure that no pet owner has to endure the heartbreak of being separated from their beloved animal, as Lauren did.The PadsPass team consists of four women from different decades, bringing diverse perspectives that reflect the varied experiences of our users. Half of us have dedicated our careers to working with pets, while the other half have transitioned from successful creative fields to embark on this rewarding journey with PadsPass. This unique blend of backgrounds allows us to leverage our internal resources for marketing and brand awareness while maintaining a lean approach in these early stages.Having a veterinarian on our team who is also a pet sitter gives us the ability to test user perspectives immediately, ensuring our solutions are practical and effective. We all share a love for travel and pets having traveled over 12 years on 12 airlines through 12 countries collectively, and we’re committed to making it possible for others to enjoy both in a verifiable and seamless way.
