Pet vaccination and booster reminder

Boosters, worming and flea treatments run on their own schedule, and a lapsed vaccination record can mean a full restart course — or a refused kennel booking. Set the dates once and let the emails arrive.

Why this one gets missed

  • Annual boosters lapse quietly, and some vaccines require restarting the whole course if missed.
  • Kennels, catteries and groomers usually require an up-to-date vaccination record.
  • Flea and worming treatments repeat monthly or quarterly, which is far easier to forget.
  • Households with several pets have several overlapping schedules.

How to set it up

  1. 1

    Check the vet card

    Your vet record lists the next booster or treatment date.

  2. 2

    Create a reminder per pet

    Use titles like 'Bella — annual booster'.

  3. 3

    Pick the right repeat

    Yearly for boosters, monthly or quarterly for flea and worming treatments.

  4. 4

    Add two weeks lead time

    Enough notice to get a vet appointment in the diary.

Questions, answered

How often do dogs and cats need boosters?

Most core vaccinations are boosted annually, though some components run on a three-year cycle. Your vet's record card is the authority — set your reminder to the date they give you.

Can I track several pets?

Yes. Create a 'Pets' category and add one reminder per pet and per treatment type so each schedule stays separate.

Can my partner get the same reminder?

Add them as a verified recipient and they receive the same email at the same time.
