A pet travel helper for trips with your pet
The PetGrid pet travel helper is a free checklist for travelling with your pet: pick where you are going and when, and it lists the steps and timing, each linked to the official page.
It reads your pet's rabies vaccine and microchip from the app, so you know what to ask your vet for in good time.

Good to know
What it does not do (yet)

- PetGrid does not issue travel or health certificates; your vet does.
- It only knows the rabies vaccine and microchip you recorded in the app.
Questions people ask
What papers does my pet need to travel?
Open the travel helper on your pet's page in the free PetGrid app, pick where you are going and when, and it lists the steps with links to the official pages. Read travelling with your pet from Canada to the US too.
Where does the travel helper get its information?
Official government pages: the CFIA, USDA APHIS, the CDC, the European Commission, GOV.UK and Mexico's SENASICA. Each step links to its page, and rules change, so check it before you go.
Is the travel helper legal advice?
No. It is a planning aid, not legal advice, and it does not use AI. The official page and your vet have the final word.
Does PetGrid make the travel certificate?
No. Your vet issues travel and health certificates. The helper tells you what to ask for.
