About Us
We help pet owners travel with confidence by collecting, verifying, and connecting the information that matters most: what airlines and hotels actually allow, which products fit the rules, and what other pet owners have experienced along the way.
What We Do
PetFriendlyHub aggregates and organizes pet-related travel and product information from official sources. We track airline pet policies, hotel pet policies, pet carrier specifications, and user-reported experiences, then present everything in a structured, searchable format.
Specifically, we:
- Maintain a database of pet policies for major North American airlines, including cabin and cargo rules, fees, carrier size limits, breed restrictions, and health requirements for dogs, cats, and small pets such as rabbits and birds.
- Track pet policies for major hotel groups, covering pet fees, weight limits, pet count limits, and property-level variations for dogs and cats.
- Catalog pet carriers and travel products with precise internal and external dimensions, weight, and key compatibility notes so you can match a carrier to an airline's requirements.
- Surface feedback themes from pet owners who have traveled with specific airlines, hotels, and products, giving you a sense of what works in practice, not just what's written in policy documents.
Who We Serve
PetFriendlyHub is built for pet owners who are making real travel and product decisions. Whether you're flying with your dog in-cabin for the first time, comparing hotel chains for a road trip with two cats, or trying to find a carrier that fits under the seat on three different airlines, our goal is to give you the factual foundation you need to plan with less stress and fewer surprises.
Our Approach
Every piece of information on PetFriendlyHub is sourced from official materials: airline policy pages, hotel brand websites, manufacturer specification sheets, and published fee schedules. We do not generate content using AI language models for our factual data points. Each policy entry includes the date we last verified it against the source, so you know how current the information is.
When official sources conflict or are ambiguous, we note the discrepancy rather than making assumptions. Our feedback themes are aggregated from publicly available customer reviews and forums, and we clearly label these as experience reports rather than verified facts.
What We Are Not
We believe in being transparent about our limits. PetFriendlyHub is:
- Not an airline. We do not book flights, manage reservations, or have any control over an airline's policies. Always confirm with your airline before travel.
- Not a hotel or booking platform. We do not take reservations or manage hotel stays. Policies vary by property, and the final word always belongs to the specific hotel you're booking.
- Not a product manufacturer. We catalog product specifications from manufacturer data but do not design, manufacture, or ship any products.
- Not a substitute for professional advice. For health certificates, international pet travel regulations, and safety decisions, consult your veterinarian and the relevant authorities.
How We Make Money
PetFriendlyHub is free to use and supported by affiliate partnerships. When you click a link to a product on Amazon or another retailer and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. We participate in the Amazon Associates program and similar affiliate networks.
Our recommendations and rankings are never influenced by commercial relationships. When we present product options, the default sort order is either alphabetical or by a match score that reflects how well the product's specifications align with the user's search criteria (such as an airline's carrier size requirements). Products that match all hard requirements always appear before those that do not, regardless of affiliate status.
Every page that contains affiliate links includes a clear disclosure. Read our full Affiliate Disclosure for details.
Our Commitment
We are committed to three principles that guide every decision we make:
- Accuracy. We verify against official sources and record verification dates. When we get something wrong, we correct it promptly and note the correction. See our Correction Policy.
- Transparency. We explain where our data comes from, how we verify it, how we make money, and what we don't cover. Read our Data Sources & Methodology and Editorial Policy.
- Helpfulness. We organize information around real decisions pet owners face. If something is confusing or missing, we want to hear about it. Get in touch.
PetFriendlyHub was created because we believe pet owners deserve one place where travel and product information is collected honestly, verified carefully, and presented clearly. We hope it saves you time and helps you travel well with the animals you love.
