Digital Vaccination Card for Dogs and Cats: What It Is and How to Get One
June 16, 2026 · 6 min read
A digital vaccination card is the phone version of the classic vaccine booklet: it gathers all your pet’s vaccines, with their dates and boosters, and you can share it with any vet in seconds. No papers to lose, and no need to remember from memory when the next dose is due.
What is a digital vaccination card?
It’s an electronic record of your dog or cat’s vaccines. Each entry includes the vaccine name, the date it was given and the next booster date. Because it lives in an app, it doesn’t get wet, doesn’t get lost and is always with you.
Advantages over the paper booklet
- It doesn’t get lost: it lives in your account, not in a drawer.
- Reminders: it alerts you when a booster is coming up, so you don’t miss the date.
- Easy to share: the vet sees the full history without you transcribing anything.
- Multiple pets: all in the same place, no mixing up booklets.
- Backup: even if you lose your phone, the data stays in your account.
Which vaccines you should record
It depends on the species and your country, but these are the usual ones. Your vet defines the exact plan —you can see a general guide in our vaccination schedule for dogs and cats.
Dogs
- Combination vaccine (distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis, leptospirosis…).
- Rabies.
- Kennel cough (Bordetella), depending on lifestyle.
Cats
- Combination vaccine (panleukopenia, calicivirus, rhinotracheitis).
- Feline leukemia (FeLV), depending on risk.
- Rabies.
How to create your pet’s digital card
- Find the paper vaccine booklet you already have.
- Record each vaccine with its date. In Furtale you can take a photo of the booklet and AI extracts the vaccines and dates for you.
- Add the next booster date to turn on reminders.
- Share access with your vet whenever you need to.
Tip: record deworming too. It’s not a vaccine, but it shares the same “how often is it due” logic and it’s handy to keep it in the same place.
The vaccination card is just one part of the full medical history. With Furtale you have both in one place. Start free and digitize your pet’s booklet today.
