Why Vaccination Reminders Matter — And How to Never Miss One

The Importance of Staying on Schedule

Vaccinations protect your pet from serious and potentially fatal diseases like rabies, parvovirus, and distemper. But vaccines require regular boosters to remain effective.

Missing a vaccination window can leave your pet vulnerable — and may also affect their ability to travel, board at kennels, or visit certain dog parks.

Common Vaccination Schedules

**Dogs:**

  • Rabies: Every 1–3 years (varies by province)
  • DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus): Annual or every 3 years
  • Bordetella: Annually (especially for dogs in daycare or boarding)

**Cats:**

  • Rabies: Every 1–3 years
  • FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia): Every 1–3 years
  • FeLV (Feline Leukemia): As recommended by your vet
