About Paw & Passport

Paw & Passport covers dog travel gear across five areas: flying with dogs — in-cabin airline-approved carriers, under-seat rules, and pet fees; car travel safety — crash-tested harnesses, booster car seats, and barriers; travel crates and beds — soft and hard portable crates and packable beds; outdoor and adventure — hiking harnesses, life jackets, and trail kit; and travel essentials — collapsible bowls, water bottles, and GPS trackers. Its hero states the promise in a line — "the dog travel gear that actually fits under the seat" — and its flagship habit is a dated table of every major US airline's in-cabin under-seat limit, because the height limit is the number that gets a carrier rejected at the gate and it runs from about 8.5 inches on Southwest and JetBlue to 11 inches on United and Delta.

Its defining decision is stated where most of the category bluffs: it runs no testing lab and hasn't flown with every carrier it lists — "we don't test the gear — and we say so." What it does instead is compile the manufacturer's published dimensions, weights, materials, and safety claims as claims rather than facts, cross-check carriers against each airline's published under-seat limit with the date it checked, rank car harnesses by genuine Center for Pet Safety crash-test certifications rather than a "looks secure" impression, and score every product out of ten on a published rubric with the breakdown shown on each card. Where a figure can't be verified it flags it on the page — "confirm before you fly" — rather than smoothing it over. Prices pull live from Amazon carrying the date they were checked, and once the data is more than 48 hours old the number is hidden and the button falls back to "Check price on Amazon" rather than showing a figure that has gone stale.

That refusal to claim a test it never ran is exactly how Type 5 Marketing operates. Operated by Type 5 Marketing LLC, the brand is funded solely by the Amazon Associates program — it earns from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to the reader — and it accepts no paid placement and no free product, so a $16 tether and a $110 certified harness sit in the same list with the gap spelled out and the commission never deciding a ranking. Written by Stephen V., an enthusiast who claims no lab coat, no vet or trainer credential, and no hands-on crash test, it leads with the airline limits and the certifications and admits the work it hasn't done — the standard we hold across every property in the portfolio.
