How Pet Vaccine Reminder Works
Our pet vaccine reminder tool automatically calculates vaccination schedules based on your pet's age, last vaccination date, and species. Core vaccines like DHPP for dogs and FVRCP for cats are typically given annually or every 3 years, while puppies and kittens need a series of vaccinations starting at 6-8 weeks. The tool tracks all upcoming vaccines and allows you to export reminders to your calendar.
Understanding Vaccination Schedules
Puppies and kittens need a series of core vaccinations starting at 6-8 weeks, then every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks old. Adult pets typically need annual or triennial boosters depending on the vaccine type. The tool automatically calculates these schedules and provides reminders for upcoming vaccines, helping you stay on top of your pet's health.
