A timeline, not a wall of rules
See what happens now, at booking, before the vet visit, and on travel day.

Pet travel,
together.
Tailside is a pet travel planning app for iPhone. It turns country rules, airline policies, paperwork, and every pet’s details into one calm plan for your trip.
The public App Store release is not available yet. The interactive preview uses sample data and planning rules still under qualification.

From “Can we go?” to one clear plan
The whole journey,
in the right order.
Tailside checks the complete path first, then shows only what deserves your attention now.
- 01
Plan the trip
Add the places, dates, and way you hope to travel. Keep multiple trips without mixing their requirements.
- 02
Add every pet
Choose the dogs and cats coming along. Each pet gets an independent eligibility and evidence check.
- 03
Build each passport
Keep identity, vaccination records, measurements, forms, and proof attached to the right pet.
- 04
Confirm the way there
Compare policy-compatible airlines, see why they rank, and know exactly what still needs confirmation.
A calmer product model
Only what
matters next.
Pet travel has dozens of rules. Your screen should not. Tailside turns the whole trip into a simple timeline, keeps completed work quiet, and reveals the exact rule only when you ask.
The exact requirement is always there
Open plain-language detail, the rule maker, its source, and the evidence used.
Evidence stays with the right pet
Upload, parse, review, and save each record to Olive, Poppi, or another pet.
Who makes this rule? Each check names the departure authority, arrival country, return country, operating airline, or Tailside product rule.
What you can inspect: The plain-language requirement, effective dates, source link, affected pets, evidence on file, and what must happen next.
A complete timeline, visible before you upload anything.
Built around the whole household
Everything in its
proper place.
Plans stay trip-specific. Proof stays pet-specific. The next action stays human-sized.

Create, switch, and update separate plans without losing the history of either.
Multi-pet by design
Every dog and cat gets an equal check.
Add or remove pets from a trip just like travelers. Each result explains who can travel, how, and what is still missing.

“Pet-friendly” is not a decision. Tailside checks the policy against the route and every pet, separates what is eligible from what is not, then explains why the best options rise to the top.
- ✓ Country entry and return rules
- ✓ Operating-airline pet policy
- ✓ Cabin, baggage, or cargo mode by pet
- ✓ Kennel, age, weight, and body-fit checks
Exact flight inventory, aircraft, weather restrictions, price, and pet space must be confirmed separately. Booking assistance is a later product stage.

Paperwork that
knows where it belongs.
Upload a record once, check what was read, and keep it connected to the exact pet and requirement it supports.
Upload→Extract→Review→Use as evidence
Never silently accepted. You review parsed fields against the original.
Never mixed across pets. Each record is linked to one pet and one requirement.
Never a mystery. See which source and rule the evidence satisfies.
First testing release
Starting with California
and Oregon by air.
The first release covers dogs and cats flying within California, within Oregon, or between the two, in either direction. Every state and airline rule links to its official source and shows the date it was last checked.

This is a testing scope, not a claim that every route, airline, or rule is ready for public reliance today. More states and international trips come later.

Tailside is designed to keep pet profiles, trip plans, measurements, and uploaded documents private. The preview includes data export, individual document deletion, and complete workspace deletion controls.
Questions, answered plainly
Before the
bags come out.
What is Tailside?−
Tailside is a pet travel planning app for iPhone. It turns country entry rules, airline pet policies, paperwork, and each pet’s details into one trip-specific plan.
Is Tailside available now?+
Tailside is currently in private iPhone testing. It is not yet available as a public App Store download. You can explore the interactive web preview, which uses example data and rules still under qualification.
Can I plan multiple trips with more than one pet?+
Yes. Tailside is designed for multiple trips, multiple dogs and cats, and different pet combinations on each trip. Every pet keeps a separate passport, measurements, records, and readiness result.
Does it find and book an exact flight?+
The current product can compare normalized airline policies and prepare the information needed to confirm pet travel. Live dated inventory, aircraft checks, prices, airline-confirmed pet space, and in-app booking are separate capabilities that are not yet publicly available.
Where can I travel with Tailside first?+
The first testing release covers flights within California, within Oregon, and between the two states. Each plan shows the state entry rules for every arrival, the pet policies of the airlines that fly the route, and the dates those sources were checked. More states and international trips come later.
Does Tailside replace official advice?+
No. Tailside organizes planning information and evidence. Final entry, veterinary, flight, and pet-space decisions remain with the relevant government authority, veterinarian, and operating airline.
What happens to uploaded records?+
Records remain private to the workspace. OCR may extract useful fields, but the pet parent reviews them before they count as evidence. The preview includes export and deletion controls. See the privacy policy for current details.
