Paper gets lost — that's why "lost my dog's vaccine records" is one of the most-searched pet questions. PetTally keeps this card on your phone, scans your vet's paperwork, and reminds you before each due date.

What to write on a pet vaccine record

Groomers, boarding kennels, daycares, landlords and airlines all ask for the same few things. A useful record has:

Vaccine name — e.g. DHPP (or DAPP), Rabies, Bordetella for dogs; FVRCP, Rabies, FeLV for cats.
Date given and next due date — most places check that shots are current, not just given.
Who gave it — clinic name, and ideally the vaccine lot number. Many facilities only accept vet-issued records, so keep the clinic's paperwork too.
Rabies tag number — it links your pet to the rabies certificate.
Microchip number — so the record can be matched to your pet.

Is a homemade vaccine card accepted?

As your own reference — yes. As official proof, usually not on its own: boarders, groomers and airlines typically want the rabies certificate or records issued by the clinic. Use this card to keep everything in one place and know what's due, and keep (or photograph) the clinic's paperwork behind it.

Keep this record on your phone instead

PetTally stores every vaccine with dates, scans your vet's paperwork, reminds you before boosters, and shares a QR Pet Passport with any vet, groomer or sitter. Free on iPhone.

Common questions

Where can I get a free printable dog vaccine record?

Right here — fill in your pet's details above and print, or print it blank and fill it in by hand. Use your browser's print dialog and choose “Save as PDF” to keep a digital copy.

Will a groomer or boarding kennel accept this card?

Usually not as the only proof. Most facilities want records issued by your vet — especially the rabies certificate. This card keeps everything in one place and shows what's due; keep the clinic's paperwork with it.

What vaccines should be on my dog's record?

Core shots — DHPP (distemper, adenovirus/hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza) and rabies — plus any lifestyle vaccines your vet gave, such as Bordetella, leptospirosis, Lyme or canine influenza.

What vaccines should be on my cat's record?

Core shots — FVRCP (rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleukopenia) and rabies — plus FeLV (feline leukemia) if given.

How do I get my pet's official vaccine records?

Ask the clinic that gave the shots — most can email them the same day. If you've lost them, see our guide on what to do when you've lost your pet's vaccine records.
