Pawdex
Our story

Built in the Philippines for the pets you call family.

Pawdex is a digital pet passport built by a small Filipino team — for pet parents who treat their pets as family. One source of truth that travels with your pet, every clinic, every city. Free for your first pet, forever.

Why we exist

Your pet's records exist. Just not anywhere useful.

Right now, your pet's information lives in five different places. Your vet's clinic computer. The printed booklet from your last visit. Screenshots in your camera roll. A note in your phone with the microchip number. A DM thread with your vet from when you asked about flea meds.

None of it travels.

When you switch clinics, the new vet asks “has she had her shots?” and you scroll for ten minutes to find the answer. When your pet boards for a weekend, the kennel asks for vax proof and you screenshot four things. When the groomer wants the rabies date, you check the booklet, then your texts, then give up and call the old clinic.

And when your pet ever wanders off — the worst-case scenario — the phone number on the collar tag faded six months ago, the microchip is fine but the finder doesn't know to look for one, and the seconds you have to bring your pet home become hours.

Pawdex is the one source of truth that walks in with your pet — every clinic, every groomer, every kind stranger who finds them. That's it.

Who's behind this

A small Filipino team, with skin in the game.

Pawdex was started in 2026 by Norman — a Filipino pet parent (based in Cebu) building tools he wished existed for his own pets: Shimmer, a Shih Tzu × Poodle mix, and Sigbin. Both pets are the unofficial product managers of this site — they appear in places they probably shouldn't.

Pawdex is a product of PixelPath Software Publishing House. When you email hello@mypawdex.com, you get a real person. Usually within a day.

We're not a venture-funded growth machine and we don't plan to be. We're building Pawdex because we wanted it for our own pets, and there wasn't anything like it built specifically for Filipino pet parents. Every feature ships because someone — us, a friend, a vet we know, or someone who emailed us — actually needs it.

What we believe

Four things that don't change.

No. 01

Free first, always.

Your first pet gets a full QR passport — name, photo, microchip, vax record, your number — free forever. Pawdex Pro (₱299/year) is optional, never required. We earn it when families upgrade because we shipped something worth paying for, not because they're cornered.

No. 02

Built for the Philippines, not adapted.

Peso pricing. Filipino-built. Designed around the actual workflow of PH vet clinics — paper vaccine booklets, walk-in groomers, barangay lost-pet networks. Aspin and native-breed considerations baked in. We didn't take a US pet app and translate it. We started from what Filipino pet parents actually need.

No. 03

Your data is yours.

Pet businesses on Pawdex see only their own clients — tenant isolation at the database level, not a policy promise. You can export your pet's full records anytime. We don't sell, rent, or share your data. Ever. That's a line, not a marketing claim.

No. 04

Quiet, useful, every day.

A good pet passport is the kind you forget about until you need it — the vet asks for vax proof, your pet wanders off, your phone number changes. We'd rather build something that disappears into the background of your pet-care routine than something that pings you five times a week to "engage."

Where we're going

Quiet, useful, and yours.

Every share of a lost pet on mypawdex.com/find-lost-pets helps a family find their way home. Every passport stored helps a vet skip five minutes of guesswork at intake. Every milestone in a Memory Book becomes a story the family will tell years later.

Coming next: Pawdex Memorial Mode for the pets we lose, and more depth in the things we've already shipped — better breed coverage in the care calendar, more PH-vet clinical templates, and a few quiet things we're not ready to announce yet. All shipped the same way we've shipped everything so far — built because someone needed it, free where it matters, paid where it pays for itself.

If you've got an idea, a story, or a complaint — tell us. We're hello@mypawdex.com. Real people. Real replies.
