A light touch, privacy safe way to confirm a dog's working status for products, pricing and claims. Underwrite the risk with confidence and reduce misrepresentation risk from unverified self declaration, all without collecting the policyholder's medical history.
Underwrite with confidence
Pawthority confirms a dog's working status against a recognised standard, so you underwrite with confidence and reduce misrepresentation risk at point of policy, without ever collecting the policyholder's medical history.
How it works
The applicant is offered verification of the dog's working status, with consent.
A verified result confirms current certification by a recognised authority. No diagnosis or disability detail is shared.
GDPR-minimisedThe same confirmation and its audit entry support fast, fair claims assessment.
Working status is confirmed with consent, and never the policyholder's medical history. Records stay minimal and auditable.
Standards and alignment
Verification gives underwriting a consistent, standards-based basis, without collecting the policyholder's medical history.
Standard
Parts 1 and 2, covering definitions, welfare and training, map directly to underwriting a working dog.
Basis
A verified result confirms the dog is currently certified by a recognised authority. No diagnosis or disability detail is shared.
Fraud
Deterministic confirmation replaces weak self declaration, cutting fraud exposure at the point of policy.
Claims
The same confirmation and its audit entry support quick, evidence-based claims assessment.
Safeguard
Every check matches the dog's microchip to its handler using an opaque token, confirming the pairing. No handler identity, medical or disability data is ever revealed.
Data
No collection of sensitive health data, reducing your data protection exposure.
