Recommends an examination as soon as possible and bringing vaccination and worming records. Supports the care topics offered as questions. It does not prescribe the seven-day reminder; that is the project's planning convention.

HOW TO USE IT
Start with your details
Enter the homecoming date
Use the actual or planned arrival date. Past and future dates are accepted. Arrange the first examination promptly with your vet; the reminder is not advice to delay care.
Record the reported visits
Choose the number of puppy vaccination visits reported to you, or Not sure. This is a note to bring along, not proof of vaccination protection. Bring the actual health records too.
Pick your questions
Select any of the six care topics you want to discuss. None is selected for you, and questions are optional. Create the plan to see the reminder and only your chosen questions.
Bring the plan along
Save a separate copy on this device, print the question list or download one all-day calendar reminder. Open and delete saved copies through Saved in the navigation. No appointment is booked.
HOW IT WORKS
What shapes your result
Reminder date = homecoming date plus seven calendar days. This is a planning convention. AVMA recommends an examination as soon as possible; the seven-day reminder must not delay booking or care. If an examination is already arranged, follow the agreed appointment rather than this reminder.
The questions come from the dedicated data file and cover care topics supported by AVMA and RSPCA. Their wording and order are editorial prompts, not a clinical checklist or a complete consultation. Picking a question does not prescribe a treatment. Country-specific care is discussed with your vet rather than inferred from this worldwide page.
Reported vaccination visits can be none, one, two, three or more, or not sure. Several vaccines may be given at one visit. The count appears as entered in every output and never removes questions, changes the reminder or calculates vaccine dates. Actual records, dates and your puppy's circumstances need checking by your vet.
Dates use whole-day arithmetic on your device so daylight-saving changes do not move the reminder. Past reminders keep their original dates. A past-date label describes the reminder only; it does not establish whether a visit happened or care is overdue. Changing country changes date formatting on this same root page and retains your entries.
Saving keeps the homecoming date, reported visits and question choices in this browser. Opening a saved copy displays the result; passive reloads load the latest valid entries for you to submit. Edits clear its saved reference and show an Inputs changed notice. The previous plan stays visible until you choose Create again. Print includes your chosen questions and vet note. Calendar download contains one all-day planning reminder with those questions, no popup alarm and no repeating events. Remove an older import yourself before replacing it.

Questions before
the next vet visit?
Bring your questions and this plan to your vet.
When should the first vet visit be?
AVMA recommends an examination as soon as possible. Contact your vet to arrange it promptly. This planner's seven-day date is a planning reminder, not advice to wait, a booked appointment or an assessment of urgency. Contact your vet if your puppy seems unwell, without waiting for the date.
What does doses given mean here?
Count the puppy vaccination visits reported to you, rather than individual diseases or injections. Choose Not sure if the history is unclear. The planner records the answer without working out protection, catch-up care or vaccine due dates; your vet needs the actual vaccination records.
What should I bring to the visit?
Bring available vaccination, worming and other medical records from the previous owner, breeder or rescue, along with the questions you want to discuss. A visit count alone cannot replace those records.
Do I have to pick every question?
No. Questions are optional, with none selected initially. Pick any topics useful to you. Only those questions appear in your result, printout and calendar file; with none picked, you still get the reminder and history summary. These prompts do not cover every possible concern.
What if the homecoming or reminder date is in the past?
The original date is retained and a passed-reminder label appears. It does not mean a consultation was missed. If the first examination has not been arranged, contact your vet promptly. Changing the date does not book or cancel any appointment.
Can I save, print and download the question list?
Yes. Save keeps separate copies on this device; open or delete them through Saved. Print makes a clean card and can save a PDF in the browser. Calendar download adds one all-day planning reminder with your selected questions, with no alarm or repeat. Nothing is sent to a clinic and no appointment is booked.
Sources and checked dates
Each note explains what its source supports. Open the link to read the guidance yourself.
Supports preparation, familiar food, gentle handling and safe early experiences, plus discussing parasite care and neutering. Question wording and optional selection are PupCalendar's presentation, not an official checklist.
Supports registering with a vet promptly, keeping vaccination records and confirming individual care. The planner does not use this UK page to infer a worldwide vaccine schedule.
