Your trip, dated. Each line shows where it comes from.

Why Kipper
“I moved from Bermuda to Atlanta at nine, with a German Shepherd, and I've been bringing pets back and forth ever since. Every time it was call and fax and run around, and even the vet wasn't sure which paper went where. Nobody should have that pain point.”
Fain, founder
Nobody stays behind.
One price
Your dated checklist, reminders, and your documents in one place.
We can't make the airline say yes. We can show you exactly what they'll ask for, on dates you can see, so you walk up ready.

Questions
Plain answers.
Is Kipper a government site?
No. Kipper is a private company, not affiliated with any government. We're not a vet or a law firm. Every item on your checklist links to the official page it comes from, so you can read the rule yourself.
When were these rules last checked?
On October 30, 2026, against the official sources. We re-check them every week and show the checked-on date next to every line. If something changes before your trip, we tell you.
Cats too?
Yes. Dogs and cats, on every route. The rules differ: for example, cats entering Mexico need no certificate, while dogs do.
Driving across the border, not flying?
Covered. US ↔ Mexico by car has its own list, including the paperwork for your dog's return to the US.
Is anything charged today?
No. Kipper isn't open yet. Tapping the button puts you on the waitlist, and we'll email you first when we launch. The first 100 people get the founder's rate. Nothing is charged until you choose to buy.
Will the airline or the border let my pet through?
We can't promise that; nobody honest can. What we do is lay out every document they'll ask for, on the right dates, with the official source for each one, so you arrive prepared.
What do you do with my email?
One email when we open, replies if you write to us, and nothing else. Delete on request. See the privacy page.
