We started PawPass after our co-founder's vet asked for a vaccination card that lived in three places: a paper folder, a thumb drive at home, and the clinic's system from five years ago. None of them matched. We thought: it's 2026. Every other piece of life has a digital record. The companies building it should be the ones who aren't selling your data.

The problem
So we built a system where the only revenue is your subscription, the only people who can see your pet's record are the ones you scoped it to, and the only path to a missed reminder is a phone that's been intentionally off for a week. Everything else is plumbing.
We are a small team. We answer email. We read bug reports twice. We will not ship a feature you don't need because it's on someone else's roadmap.
Your pet's data belongs to you. Not to an insurance company, not to a pharmaceutical marketer, not to a private equity roll-up. We encrypt it, we scope it, and we never look at it without your permission.
Principles
Privacy by design
We don't sell, share, or rent your pet's health data. Row-level security means the only people who see a record are the ones you explicitly scoped it to. The only revenue is your subscription — nothing else.
Timeline
Our founders brought their senior dog to a new vet and spent forty minutes in the parking lot trying to find a three-year-old vaccination record. The vet could not proceed without it. That afternoon, the first wireframe was sketched on a napkin.
A single Next.js route, one PostgreSQL table, and a form that could save a pet's name and vaccine date. Ugly. Functional. The foundation of everything that followed.
Twenty-seven families across three states testing the share system, the QR generator, and the reminder engine. Eleven thousand health events logged. The first time we saw someone use it at a real vet visit and the vet said "this is better than our system."
Row-level security audited. Share system hardened. Reminders proven across every major carrier. We opened the doors and watched people adopt their pets into the system faster than we could build.
Thousands of pets, hundreds of thousands of health events. AI-powered health insights in Pro. Multi-owner households. Document attachments. And a roadmap that starts with what pet owners actually need, not what investors want.
