PadsPass: Best New Pet Tech Startup in Bermuda of 2025
Best of Best Review has recognized PadsPass as the Best New Pet Tech Startup in Bermuda of 2025. Founded by Lauren Anders Brown, a seasoned entrepreneur with a strong passion for pets and technology, PadsPass is working to improve the pet travel experience with its innovative mobile platform designed to streamline pet health and travel requirements.
A Vision Born from Personal Experience
Lauren’s journey to creating PadsPass began with a personal experience. Having traveled with her dog on 75 flights, one particular trip faced complications due to a mix-up in health documentation. Her dog was detained at the border because of a misunderstanding regarding required treatments, leading to an emotional 24-hour wait. This experience highlighted a critical gap in the pet travel system: the need for an integrated solution to ensure pets meet all travel requirements.
"I wanted to build the platform I needed when my dog was taken from me," says Lauren. "It’s the animal health and travel solution that can help simplify the process for all pet owners."
What Sets PadsPass Apart
PadsPass is more than just an app for tracking pet vaccinations or filling out forms—it’s a comprehensive system that tailors travel requirements to each pet’s health profile, ensuring pets meet transportation and border regulations. Unlike traditional platforms that focus primarily on paperwork, PadsPass customizes the entire travel experience, reducing the risk of last-minute surprises and complications.
PadsPass integrates health data with travel requirements, allowing pet owners, veterinarians, and travel agents to access real-time, accurate information. This seamless system not only empowers pet parents but also ensures smoother travel experiences for their pets.
