How do I keep my pet's vaccination card?

1. Open your pet and tap Vaccines.
2. Tap Add vaccine (Add the first vaccine when the card is empty).
3. Choose the vaccine. The list has the names used on vaccine cards where you live, like V10 in Brazil, DHPP in the US or SHPPi in Germany, and Other for anything else.
4. Leave Already given on and set the Date given.
5. Under Sticker, tap Add a photo of the sticker. Optional, and it can be added later.
6. Check Next due. It shows the date it works out, like "Due 12 Mar 2027".
7. Tap Save vaccine. The dose shows on the card, and the next one shows on Home when it comes close.

The vaccine and the date are enough to start. Brand, lot, vet and the rest can come later, from the dose.

How does a vaccine series work?

A series is several doses planned together, like the first vaccines of a puppy or a kitten. Pick Series under Dose, and saving creates every dose at once: the one you are logging, and the rest as planned doses on the card, ready to mark as given.

• When your pet has no dose of that vaccine yet, VetVitae starts a series and says so: "First V10 for Luna, so it starts with 3 doses."
• The app's starting point is 3 doses for multipurpose vaccines (like V10, DHPP or RCP) when your pet is under 16 weeks old on that date, 2 doses for an older pet, 21 days apart. Rabies is 1 dose. Your vet's plan comes first: change How many doses? and Days between doses to match it.
• Before saving, the form lists every date the series will have.
• A planned dose shows on Home when it is due, and you get its reminders like any other.

When is the next dose due?

The next dose is due 1 year after the date given unless you pick otherwise. Under Next due you can choose +1 year, +3 years, Pick a date or None. In a series, this is the Booster after the last dose.

VetVitae remembers the interval you used last time for the same vaccine on your pet and suggests it again.

How do I mark a planned dose as given?

Open the dose on the Vaccination card and tap Mark as given. Set the real date and add the sticker details.

Or tap Scan the sticker and take a photo of the sticker or the card: VetVitae fills the date, the brand, the lot, the expiry and the sticker for you to check. See scanning a document.

If the date differs from the planned one, every later dose of that vaccine moves by the same number of days, the yearly booster included. A booster planned for March but given in May moves next year's booster to May.

To leave a planned dose out, open it and tap Skip. It stays in the history, struck through, and its reminders stop.

What goes on the printed card?

The printed card has the fields a vet checks on a vaccination card: the brand and manufacturer, the lot, the manufacture and expiry dates, the vet with their registration number (CRMV in Brazil), the clinic and place, and the revaccination date. Fill them in under Vaccination card details on each dose.

The form warns you when the expiry is before the date given, so a typo on the sticker is caught.

How do I download the vaccination card?

On Vaccines, tap Print or share, then Download PDF. The PDF has your pet's details, every dose with its sticker data and the next date due, for a kennel, a sitter or a flight check-in.

For the whole history, with visits, exams and medicines too, see how to export your pet's history.

What if my pet had a reaction?

Open the dose and set Reaction to Mild reaction or Severe reaction, with notes. A severe reaction shows on your pet's profile with the date, so it is seen at the next visit, and it is listed first on the page your vet sees.

To record what your pet showed, like swelling or vomiting, add an observation from the dose. It is kept with that dose.

Can I log the same vaccine for my other pets?

Yes. When you have other pets of the same kind, the form shows Also for · same vaccine, same day. Pick them, and saving creates one dose for each pet. The cost is then Cost for each pet.
