Vaccination Schedule Generator
Generate a complete vaccination schedule for your pet from birth to adulthood
How Vaccination Schedule Generator Works
Our vaccination schedule generator creates a complete vaccination timeline for your pet from birth to adulthood. The tool considers your pet's age, type (dog or cat), and lifestyle to recommend appropriate vaccines. It includes core vaccines (essential for all pets) and non-core vaccines (based on lifestyle and risk factors). The schedule shows when each vaccine should be given and provides information about vaccine types and purposes.
Understanding Pet Vaccinations
Puppies and kittens typically receive their first vaccines at 6-8 weeks of age, with booster shots at 10-12 weeks and 14-16 weeks to build full immunity. Core vaccines (like DHPP for dogs and FVRCP for cats) are essential for all pets. Non-core vaccines depend on lifestyle, location, and risk factors. Adult pets need annual boosters for most core vaccines, though some may be given every 1-3 years depending on local regulations and vaccine type.
