Pet Care Booklet to Print and Fold: Vaccine, Vet and Feeding Record

This pet care booklet turns a single PDF into a slim, undated 24 page record for one animal, whether a dog, a cat or something else, covering the profile, vet visits, vaccines, medication, feeding, weight, grooming and notes for a sitter. The 15 page file comes in US Letter, giving Half Letter pages (5.5 x 8.5 in) with pounds, and A4, giving A5 pages (148 x 210 mm) with kilograms. It is an instant PDF download and nothing is shipped.

Pages are already placed in saddle-stitch sequence on landscape sheets. You print on both sides, fold everything in half and add two staples. That is it.

Why a folded pet care booklet makes vet visits easier

Each booklet page fills exactly half a sheet, so you never reach for scissors. Page 24 sits beside page 1, page 23 beside page 2, and once folded everything reads in the right order. The finished booklet is thin enough to live with the leash or the carrier, which means the chip number, shot dates, doses and weight history are ready when the vet starts asking.

Two pages for sitters capture the routine, the house rules, phone numbers and how much emergency care you approve, so a neighbor or relative can step in without a long message from you. A lost pet and first aid page keeps vital numbers close on a hard day, and a sheet map plus a duplex guide show which pages share a sheet and how to run a test print first.

Who this folded pet record is for

• Owners of dogs and cats who prefer one thin paper booklet for shots, vet trips and medicines over a bulky binder
• Families with a new puppy, kitten or rescue who want to start the record on day one
• Homes with several animals, with one booklet printed for each
• Anyone who leaves a pet with a sitter, a neighbor or relatives and wants the routine and phone numbers in one spot

Good to know

• The pet care booklet is a PDF for double-sided printing and folding. It has no clickable links like a digital planner, and paper and a stapler are not included.
• This is a digital file. Nothing physical is mailed.
• Printed colors can look a little different from your screen.
• For your own personal use only. Please keep the files to yourself and do not resell them.
• Digital files cannot be returned, but if something will not open or print properly, email us and we will help quickly.
• This booklet is for keeping records, and it does not replace veterinary advice. Decisions about vaccines, medicine, food and care belong to your vet. If your pet looks sick or injured, phone your vet or an emergency clinic straight away.
• Every printer aligns the reverse side a little differently, so try one sheet on cheap paper first, then print the full booklet.
