The vaccine date is never where you need it
It's always the same scene: the boarding kennel, the groomer, or a new vet asks for proof of your pet's rabies shot — and you're standing there thumbing through a junk drawer, an email inbox, or a vet portal you can't remember the password to. The appointment slips, the boarding gets declined, or you just pay for a vaccine your pet already had.
Between annual visits, boosters quietly come due and go unnoticed. The records exist somewhere — on a folded certificate, in a different clinic's system — just never in your hand when it counts. Here's a calmer way to keep it all together.
Why a pet records system earns its keep
-
Proof, on demandBoarding, grooming, daycare, and travel all ask for vaccination records — usually the morning you're trying to leave. Have it ready in seconds.
-
Boosters don't lapseDue dates fall between vet visits, where they're easy to miss. A reminder closes that gap so nobody falls behind.
-
Switching vets is painlessMove, change clinics, or see a specialist, and you carry the full history with you instead of starting from a blank chart.
-
Ready in an emergencyAn after-hours clinic moves faster when you can show what your pet's had and who their regular vet is.
A page for each pet
In Squirreld's Pets section, every animal gets one profile: name, species, breed, and birthday, plus your vet's name, phone, and website so the clinic is one tap away. Under each pet sits a vaccine history — rabies, DHPP, FVRCP, bordetella, whatever's on their chart — each with the date it was given, when the next one's due, and a photo of the certificate.
Squirreld doesn't decide what your pet needs or when — that's your vet's call. It just remembers exactly what they told you, so the schedule lives somewhere other than your memory.
Reminders that move with the due date
For each vaccine, set the next-due date and how far ahead you want the heads-up — 2 weeks, 30 days, or 60 days before. Squirreld emails you in time to book the appointment. The neat part: when you re-vaccinate and update the next-due date, the reminder re-arms itself for the following round automatically — so you set it once and it keeps working, booster after booster. It's the same calm, single-email approach behind all of Squirreld's reminders.
Common questions
-
Why keep digital pet vaccine records?Boarding kennels, groomers, daycares, and new vets all ask for proof of vaccination — usually when you’re least ready for it. A digital record means the rabies date and the certificate are on your phone, not buried in a folder or trapped in a vet portal you can’t log into.
-
What should I track for each pet?The basics (species, breed, birthday), your vet’s contact info, and each vaccine with the date it was given, the next-due date, and a photo of the certificate. Squirreld leaves the medical decisions to your vet — it just remembers what they told you.
-
How do I get reminded before a booster is due?Set the next-due date and a lead time — 2 weeks, 30 days, or 60 days before. Squirreld emails you ahead of the date. And when you re-vaccinate and update the next-due date, the reminder automatically re-arms for the following round.
-
Can I show proof of vaccination at boarding or the groomer?Yes. Attach a photo of the certificate to each vaccine record, and you can pull it up at the front desk in seconds — no scrambling for paperwork the morning of drop-off.
Keep the rabies date, the vet's number, and the next booster all in one place — and get nudged before anything lapses.
