My pet is a service dog in training. Can I use PadsPass to learn where I can travel with him/her as a service dog?
PadsPass can help you plan, but rules for service dogs in training (SDiT) vary by country, state or province, and even by airline and venue. Here’s how it works and what to expect:
- SDiT recognition depends on local laws and carrier policies. Some places offer travel accommodations similar to fully trained service dogs, while others do not.
- Your pet’s health requirements are typically the same as for any traveling dog. PadsPass will surface relevant vaccinations, tests, and treatments so you can keep records organized and up to date.
- We won’t switch your pet’s profile to “Service Animal” unless it meets the legal definition in your destination. This helps ensure guidance in the app matches what authorities and carriers expect.
- Always check your airline and destination rules for SDiT before you book. Use PadsPass to store documentation from your training organization and your veterinarian so you can share it quickly when asked.
Bottom line: Yes—use PadsPass to understand the health and documentation steps and to keep everything in one place. For access rights and travel accommodations, follow the specific policies of your airline and destination, as SDiT treatment can differ.
