Puppy First Year Vaccine Checklist

A puppy's first year is a run of shots given weeks apart - an early series, the boosters, the rabies shot, then a booster near the one-year mark - and any of them is easy to lose track of. PetHealthLog lets you build the checklist your vet gives you, tick each shot off as it is done, and see the next one coming - free, with no account, and it works offline.

A first-year schedule with a lot of moving parts

The shots in a puppy's first year do not all happen on one visit. There is usually an early series given a few weeks apart through the first months, boosters that follow, a rabies shot, and often a booster around the one-year mark. Each one has its own date, and the gap between them is where a booster quietly slips - especially in a busy household raising a young dog.

It matters because the early series only does its job if the doses land roughly on schedule, and a vet plans the next visit around what was given and when. "We did some shots a while back" is not the same as a checklist showing which vaccines were given, on what date, and what is due next.

A first-year vaccine checklist turns all of that into one list you can trust. PetHealthLog keeps it simple: it is free, it asks for no account, and it works offline, so the schedule is there whether you are at home or in the clinic waiting room.

What the puppy vaccine checklist actually does

A checklist only helps if it is fast to update and easy to show. Here is how PetHealthLog handles both for a puppy's first year.

A quick word on the schedule itself

The exact vaccines a puppy needs, and the dates they fall due, depend on where you live, your puppy's age when you got them, and your vet's judgement. There is no single national checklist that fits every dog, which is why the schedule should come from your veterinarian rather than a generic chart. Some shots need a minimum gap, some regions require rabies on a fixed timeline, and a young puppy's situation can change the plan.

PetHealthLog does not set that schedule for you and it does not decide which vaccines your puppy needs. It gives you a reliable place to record the plan your veterinarian sets, tick each shot off as it is done, and see what is coming, so nothing slips between visits. Which vaccines, and when, should always be confirmed with a licensed veterinarian.

Why "free, offline, no account" matters here

A new puppy keeps you busy, and the moments you need the checklist are not always online ones. You might be confirming the next due date in the clinic waiting room, checking what was given before a second visit, or showing a record to a new vet. An app that needs a login and a live connection can stall in exactly those moments.

PetHealthLog stores everything locally on your device. There is no account to create, nothing is uploaded to a server, and there is no tracking. It opens instantly, shows the next shot whether or not you are online, and keeps the data yours. Because it lives only on your device, you can export a backup any time and restore it on another phone.

Frequently asked questions

Is this puppy first-year vaccine checklist really free?
Yes. Scheduling each shot, marking it done, seeing the next due date, logging weight and vet visits and the PDF report are all free to use. There is no sign-up and no account, and your puppy's records stay on your own device.
What shots does a puppy need in the first year?
A puppy's first year usually involves a series of core vaccines given a few weeks apart through the early months, plus boosters and a rabies shot, often followed by a booster around the one-year mark. Exactly which vaccines and dates apply depends on your region and your puppy, so your veterinarian sets the schedule. PetHealthLog gives you a place to record whatever plan your vet gives you and tick each shot off as it is done.
How do I avoid missing a booster?
Each shot you schedule shows its due date, and a dose that was not given on time stays visible rather than disappearing. That way a booster that is coming up, or one that slipped past its date, is something you can see at a glance instead of finding out about at the next visit.
Can I keep weight on the same checklist?
Yes. A puppy grows quickly, and weight is useful both for tracking healthy growth and because some treatments are dosed by weight. You can log weight on the same timeline as the vaccines, so the whole first-year picture sits in one place.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Yes. PetHealthLog is a progressive web app that works offline. Once it has loaded you can check the schedule, mark a shot done and review records without a connection - useful in the waiting room at the clinic.
Can I export the record to show my vet?
Yes. You can export a clean PDF of your puppy's records, including which shots were given and when, plus weight and vet visits, to bring to an appointment or share with a new clinic, so nobody has to reconstruct the history from memory.
Is this a substitute for veterinary advice?
No. PetHealthLog is a record-keeping tool, not veterinary advice. It helps you stay organised with a puppy's first-year shots, but which vaccines are needed and when they are due should always be decided with a licensed veterinarian, who will set the schedule for your puppy and region.
