💉 Dog schedule
Core vaccines protect against severe, widespread disease; non-core depend on lifestyle and region.

9 upcoming items. Schedules vary by species, region, and individual — confirm every date with a qualified exotic / wildlife veterinarian.
Preventive care, planned ahead
Juvenile vaccine series work because doses land at the right ages while maternal immunity fades — miss the window and protection can lag. Seeing the whole timeline at once makes it far easier to book appointments before, not after, each dose is due.
For exotics without routine vaccines, the same discipline applies to wellness exams and fecal screens: the schedule here is a prompt to keep those checkups on the calendar rather than an afterthought.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How does the scheduler build the dates?
Pick a species and enter a birth or acquisition date. The tool applies a preset schedule for that species — the juvenile vaccine series at set ages in weeks, plus annual boosters — and projects each due date forward from the date you entered, marking past items done and future ones upcoming.
What's the difference between core and non-core?
Core vaccines protect against severe, widespread, or legally required diseases and are recommended for essentially all animals of that species. Non-core vaccines depend on lifestyle, region, and risk — for example leptospirosis for dogs or feline leukemia for outdoor cats.
My reptile or bird shows only wellness checks — why?
Reptiles have no routine vaccines, and companion birds are only rarely vaccinated, so for those species the schedule is built around wellness exams and parasite screening instead. Regular weigh-ins and husbandry reviews are the backbone of preventive care for them.
Can I follow this instead of asking a vet?
No — these are general estimates only. Real vaccination protocols vary widely by species, region, product, and an animal's health and history. Always confirm the exact vaccines and timing with a qualified exotic or wildlife veterinarian.
