How It Works

Reference guide for vaccine preparation and administration steps.

Vaccination Schedule

Follow the timeline below to stay on track with core puppy vaccinations.

Puppy vaccination schedule timeline

The first core shot is preferred at 6 weeks of age, but it can be started later when needed. After that first shot, the next core doses are spaced 3 weeks apart.

It is important to use the correct vaccine product at each checkpoint so the timeline stays accurate. The app helps you track each dose, keeps due dates organized, and sends reminders so you do not miss upcoming shots.
