Puppy Vaccination Chart

Puppy vaccinations are the single most consequential health decision in the first 16 weeks. The DHPP series at 6, 9, 12, and 16 weeks. Rabies between 12 and 16 weeks. Optional non-core vaccines depending on lifestyle and region. Miss a dose, and your puppy is exposed to parvo, distemper, or a state law violation. Get the timing wrong, and the boosters may not generate full immunity.

Most puppy vaccination charts are static PDFs that assume your puppy was born on a generic date. This one is an Excel workbook that calculates the actual due dates for your puppy based on the date of birth you enter, following the current AAHA puppy vaccination guidelines.

What this document does:

It ships the complete puppy vaccination schedule in three formats so the schedule works the way you do. A Print version on regular paper for handwriting. A Digital version with true fillable AcroForm PDF fields you click and type into. And a multi-puppy Excel workbook that auto-calculates every due date from a date of birth you enter. Same schedule, three ways to use it.

In the Excel workbook each puppy has a tab. You enter the date of birth in one cell, and every due date auto-calculates: DHPP #1, DHPP #2, DHPP #3, the rabies window, DHPP #4 final, the 12-month DHPP booster, and the 12-month rabies booster. The Summary tab pulls the next-due dates for all 8 puppies into a single landscape view, so a multi-dog household sees every dog's next vaccine in one glance and a working breeder running a litter sees the full pickup-ready schedule.

What is included:

• Print version (.docx + fillable .pdf) for handwriting the dates as they happen
• Digital version (.docx + AcroForm .pdf) for clicking and typing in any modern PDF reader
• Excel workbook (.xlsx) with auto-calculated due dates based on date of birth
• One tab per puppy in the workbook, supporting up to 8 puppies in a single file
• Core puppy series table covering DHPP at 6-8, 9-10, 12-14, and 14-16 weeks plus rabies at 12-16 weeks
• Optional non-core vaccines table for bordetella, leptospirosis, lyme, canine influenza, and rattlesnake with regional recommendation notes
• First-year boosters table for the 12-month DHPP and rabies revaccinations
• Summary tab consolidating next-due dates for every puppy across the workbook
• Lot number and date-given columns for the permanent record per dose
• Quick-reference section for when to call the vet after vaccination

Format and how it works:

Three formats in one pack. The Print version prints clean on regular paper and gets filled in by hand at the kitchen table. The Digital version opens in any modern PDF reader with click-and-type fields, saves back to your computer, and shares cleanly over email. The Excel workbook with live formulas works in Excel, Apple Numbers, and Google Sheets — click the Puppy 1 tab, type your puppy's name and date of birth into the labeled cells, and every due date populates instantly.

For a single-puppy household, the Print or Digital PDF is often enough. For a multi-puppy household or a working breeder placing a litter, the Excel workbook earns its keep — every puppy gets a dedicated tab and the schedule writes itself.

Why this version is different:

Static vaccination charts on the internet pick a generic timeline and call it done. This pack covers two cases. The Print and Digital fillable versions give every owner a clean structured place to write in their own dates as the vet calls them out. The Excel workbook does the math — enter the date of birth once and the schedule writes itself. The multi-puppy capacity is the part working breeders care about: a working program can send the workbook home with every puppy in a litter, with that puppy's dates already filled in.

The schedule follows current AAHA puppy vaccination guidelines, which is the protocol most US small animal vets use as their baseline. Always confirm with your veterinarian before each dose.

Who this is for:

For new puppy owners who want their actual vaccination dates calculated rather than a generic chart they have to translate. For multi-dog households who want every puppy's schedule in one file. For working breeders who want a tool they can fill in at the breeder level and send home with each placement as part of the go-home packet.
