Built from livedexperience,fueled by love.
We built Paws Abroad because we couldn't find it when we needed it most—and we know you shouldn't have to, either.
A $1,300 mistake that changed everything
When planning an international move from Canada to Thailand, I was quoted $1,300 for pet relocation help. The advice I received was wrong.
I've moved internationally multiple times with my two rescue dogs, Harley and Kalinda. I've cried in airports, argued with airlines, and woken up at 2AM wondering if I had the right vaccine timeline.
Every time I thought, “There has to be a better way.”
A sister-brother dream team
I brought the idea to my brother Adrian, a software engineer. Together we built the tool I wish I'd had all those years ago—one that makes international pet travel feel clear, supported, and actually doable.
From our pack to yours
If you're feeling overwhelmed about how to bring your pet with you—you're not alone. We've been there, and we're here for you.
