The problem your members keep running into
International pet travel is one of the most error-prone, high-stakes things a pet owner can attempt. The rules are exact, dated, and unforgiving: a rabies titer test drawn one day too early, a vaccine given before a microchip, a tapeworm treatment outside its window — any one of these can mean a pet refused at the border, held in quarantine, or a move delayed by months.
Pet owners today piece their answers together from outdated forum posts and contradictory blogs. Veterinary teams absorb the fallout — unpaid time spent explaining shifting rules, and clients arriving with impossible timelines. Relocating families discover the hardest requirements far too late. There has been no trusted, current, source-verified tool that answers the only question that matters up front: can my pet actually make this trip, and what is the exact sequence of steps?
What BorderPaw does
BorderPaw gives any pet owner a clear, sourced answer in about 60 seconds: whether their travel date is realistic, and the exact steps in the order that actually works — for their specific origin, destination, and pet. The check is free. There is nothing to sell your members or their clients to get a useful answer.

When you point your members, or their clients, to an outside resource, your name is attached to it. BorderPaw is built so that association carries no risk:
- Every rule is traced to its primary official source — USDA APHIS, the CDC, and each destination country's authority — and dated. Nothing is scraped, guessed, or paraphrased from secondary sources.
- The compliance engine is proven correct by exhaustive automated audit. Every possible combination of answers, across every corridor, is tested automatically to guarantee zero false verdicts — it never says a trip is impossible when it isn't, and, critically, never tells someone they are clear to travel when their pet would actually be refused. This is the line between a blog and a genuine compliance tool.
- Rules are re-reviewed and re-dated continuously, because regulations change and an out-of-date answer is a dangerous one.
- Independent by design. BorderPaw does not transport animals and does not sell relocation packages, so its guidance has no logistics upsell behind it.
Coverage
BorderPaw covers dozens of US-origin travel corridors across 50 destination countries — from straightforward routes (much of Europe, the UK, Latin America) to the strictest rabies-free destinations with multi-month waiting periods such as Japan and Australia.
A natural fit for military families
One segment feels this pain more than any other: military families on overseas PCS orders. Their moves are mandatory, their report dates are fixed, and destinations like Japan can require a pet-preparation timeline of six months or more — a collision that catches families late and costs them dearly. BorderPaw gives these families a clear answer early, while they still have options.
The founder
BorderPaw was built by Vincent Miranda, a former Audit Manager at PwC — where his work was examining companies' financials against the strictest standards (IFRS, US GAAP, French GAAP), catching the errors others missed, and fixing the processes behind them — and a private equity operator at Mutares, working hands-on inside companies where a single overlooked detail can cost millions. BorderPaw applies that same compliance discipline to pet travel: take a complex, high-stakes set of rules, verify every one against its official source, and give people a clear, correct answer they can act on. A compliance professional built a compliance tool.

A simple, no-risk way to give your members — and their clients — a genuinely useful free resource:
- A waiting-room flyer with a QR code , and/or a link your member clinics can share with clients facing an international move.
- Co-visibility as a recommended resource , however best fits your organization — a mention, a newsletter note, a listing.
- No cost, no fees, nothing to sell. The free check stands on its own; only owners who want the full day-by-day execution plan ever pay anything.
The easiest first step is a small pilot — one clinic, one newsletter, one channel — so you can see how your members respond before doing anything wider.
Start with a conversation.
No commitment, no paperwork — just a direct line to the founder to explore whether a pilot makes sense for your organization.
