Two ways dogs fly

Your dog deserves the window seat.

Small dogs fly in a carrier under the seat, with each airline's own size rules and a pet fee each way. Trained service dogs fly at your feet, any size, no pet fee, with two DOT forms the airline can ask for. Either way, Paws on Board turns your exact route and airline into one checklist: the right forms, the real deadlines, in order. Not sure which way your dog flies? The quiz gives you an honest read.

Why I built this

I've flown with Copper for years. Now everything goes with you in one Folder.

Copper is a Labrador-Beagle mix I rescued at the Tijuana border for 10 pesos. He's since flown with me from JFK to Lisbon, through Puerto Rico, California, North Carolina, and Mexico, sitting at my feet the whole way.

I filled out every form, called every airline, found the vets who do international health certificates, and answered the same questions from friends for years. So I built the place I wish I'd had for him, where your dog's health, answers, travel, and story finally live together.

Dogs who flew with it.

  • Maggie and KodakCalifornia to New York

    “Kodak's first flight, and I had no idea what I was doing. Paws on Board gave me every step with a date, so I could see what was missing before the airport. The counter asked for two things. I already had both out.”

  • Regina and RileySan Diego to Lisbon

    “When we landed in Lisbon they pulled us aside to check every document. Suitcase in one hand, Riley in the other, and the officer didn't speak much English. I opened the Flight Folder on my phone and we were through in five minutes.”

  • Mikey and BanditNew York to Austria

    “I flew Bandit to Austria, then took the train up to Bad Gastein to snowboard. The paperwork came up at the airport and again on the train. Both times I opened the Folder on my phone and showed it. No digging through a bag.”
