Your pet’s international travel plan, made clear.
Pet Travel Pal turns government requirements, veterinary timelines, airline policies, and documentation into one personalized plan for you and your pet.
Planning and guidance only. We do not transport pets, provide veterinary care, or give legal advice, and we cannot guarantee border entry.
Cats and dogs, owner-accompanied
Built for people flying with their own pet, not shipping them ahead.
Every Pawsonalized Plan is reviewed by people with firsthand international pet travel experience.
We combine structured research with helpful technology to gather requirements carefully and keep them organized. Then a person reads your plan, checks it against your dates and your pet, and rewrites anything that would leave you guessing.
The technology works quietly behind the scenes. What you receive is guidance a human has stood behind.
How it works
Four steps, from your first questions to the morning of your flight.
- 01
Tell us about your trip and pets
A short intake covers your travel dates, departure city, and each cat or dog joining you.
- 02
Receive a clear travel timeline
Every requirement placed on a real date, in the order it has to happen, working back from departure.
- 03
Review your Pawsonalized Plan
Requirements, appointments, forms, and airline notes in one document you can actually follow.
- 04
Get answers before you travel
Ask questions as things change, and get a response from someone who has made this trip.
What the plan helps organize
One document that holds the moving pieces most people end up tracking across a dozen browser tabs.
Government entry requirements
What the destination expects on arrival, sourced from official guidance and written in plain language.
Veterinary appointments and timing
Which visits you need, how far apart they sit, and which windows cannot slip without moving your flight.
Vaccines and microchip requirements
Microchip standards, rabies timing rules, and the order that keeps your records valid on travel day.
Airline and carrier policies
Cabin versus accompanied baggage, carrier dimensions, and what to confirm with the airline before booking.
Required forms and documents
The paperwork you need to collect, who signs it, and what a complete file looks like before you leave.
A travel-day checklist
What goes in your bag, what stays with your pet, and what to have ready at check-in and at the border.

- Limited to five participants
- Applicants must be traveling with their pets
- We do not physically transport pets
Traveling together shouldn’t be this hard.
I was living as a digital nomad when I found Mila in a box on a kitchen table in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Mexico. I knew I wasn’t ready to stop traveling, but I also knew I couldn’t imagine my life without her.
So, we set out on a new path together. For years, Mila and I navigated international borders, unfamiliar veterinary offices, changing airline policies, and paperwork that made my head spin. Reliable information was surprisingly difficult to find, and getting a clear, consistent answer often felt impossible.
That experience inspired me to create Pet Travel Pal, a trusted resource for people who want to explore the world without leaving their pets behind. I hope you find the answers and reassurance you need here and, most of all, that you and your pet can continue to Travel Together.
