Pet Passport: US-JP Travel

Flying your dog or cat between the US and Japan? Track rabies titers, pre-fill APHIS 7001 and MAFF forms, and never miss a deadline. Your vet still signs and submits.

Flying your dog or cat between the US and Japan? Pet Passport pulls every rabies titer deadline, booster date, microchip check, and travel form into one bilingual app — so nothing falls through the cracks six months out.

THE PROBLEM A US-to-Japan move means microchip-before-rabies ordering, a 180-day FAVN rabies-titer wait, USDA APHIS 7001 export paperwork, MAFF Advance Notification at least 40 days before arrival, and a USDA-accredited vet endorsing the packet. Miss one date and the flight slips by months. Pet Passport is the prep layer: we organize the records and count down the deadlines. Your vet reviews the drafts, signs them, and submits to USDA and MAFF.

WHAT PET PASSPORT DOES

• Scan paper vaccine certificates with your camera. OCR extracts product name, lot, administered date, and vet license into a structured record.
• Countdown to the next rabies titer draw, rabies booster, and the 180-day FAVN waiting period with local notifications that state the consequence (kennel rejection, missed flight), not just the date.
• Pre-fill USDA APHIS 7001 and Japan MAFF Advance Notification drafts from your stored records. Export as PDF and hand to your vet for review, signature, and submission.
• Pet Safety surfaces which of YOUR OWN saved contacts — primary vet, emergency vet, sitter, insurer — to call, based on the symptoms you describe and your pet's age.
• Trailmate logs walks, flags hot-pavement paw-pad burn, tick-season regions, brachycephalic and giant-breed exertion limits, and next-9-hour walk weather.
• Travel checklist tracks every step of the corridor from microchip to boarding pass — cross off items, see what blocks the flight, plan the vet visit.

WHAT PET PASSPORT IS NOT Pet Passport is not a veterinary clinic, not a certifying authority, and not an urgent-care line. We do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. We do not sign, endorse, or submit government forms. We do not supply third-party urgent-care numbers — Pet Safety routes to contacts you have saved yourself. Every travel-packet export is a pre-fill draft. Your USDA-accredited veterinarian must review, correct, sign, and submit it. Always consult your vet for medical decisions.

PRIVACY Records live on your device by default. When you sign in, we sync pets, vaccines, and contacts to our backend so you can restore after a device swap. We never sell your data and never share records with third parties without your explicit export.

SUBSCRIPTION Pet Passport Plus unlocks travel-packet export, unlimited scans, sitter handoff, and Trailmate alerts. $34.99/year with a 7-day free trial. Cancel anytime from the App Store. Free tier covers records, reminders, and the rabies titer countdown.
