Petport turns a dog's trip from the United States to the United Kingdom into one personal deadline checklist: rabies vaccination, titer test, USDA endorsement, health certificate and airline requirements, each with its own date counted back from your flight. WHAT'S INSIDE • Deadlines from your departure date: enter the date and Petport lists every requirement with its D-day. • Hand-curated rules with sources: each item links to its source (USDA APHIS, UK DEFRA, British Airways) and shows when it was last reviewed. Items not reviewed in 90 days are marked VERIFY WITH SOURCE. • Document vault: scan a vaccine card, the text is read on your device and expiry dates are picked out. Photos are stored privately in your account. • Deadline reminders (Pro): notifications at D-30, D-7 and D-1. • PDF travel folder (Pro): export your checklist to show at the gate. • Departure-day mode: a final checklist and the airline's pet-desk phone number. Free for everyone. SUPPORTED TODAY Flights from the United States to the United Kingdom on British Airways, for dogs. Other routes, airlines and cats are not available yet. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Petport starts with a private guest account. Connect email, Apple or Google in Settings if you want to keep your data when you change phones. PETPORT PRO Monthly $9.99, annual $59.99. Pro adds more than one trip at a time, more document scans, deadline reminders, PDF export, and up to 30 AI checklist builds a day (free accounts get 5 in total). Subscriptions renew automatically at the listed price unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. PRIVACY To build a checklist, and only with your permission, Petport sends your route, airline and departure date and your pet's species, breed, date of birth and microchip number to Anthropic's Claude AI. Your name, email and photos are not sent. Anthropic processes this for us, may keep it for up to 30 days and does not use it to train its models. Deleting your data in Settings removes your pets, trips, checklists, documents and photos from our servers. NOT LEGAL OR VETERINARY ADVICE Petport is an informational tool. Rules change without notice. Always confirm with your airline and a licensed veterinarian within 24 hours of departure.
