The short answer: keep pet care simple: write vaccine dates, vet contacts and feeding notes in one place so a sitter or a new vet can read it in a minute. Start with the puppy vaccine schedule or the kitten vaccine schedule.
- Vaccines: dog vaccines explains core and non-core shots and boosters; the kitten schedule lists shots by week.
- Records: what to record in a dog vaccination record book, with printable and paperback options.
- Leaving your pet with someone? Fill in pet sitter instructions: contacts, feeding, medications, house rules and an emergency plan.
