When it comes to taking care of our pets, nothing is more important than making sure that they have complete and up to date immunizations or vaccinations. And one of the easiest ways to make sure that your pet has all the necessary vaccination is to keep online pet records. Online pet records shall allow you to electronically keep track of the vaccinations of your pet starting from age first week to even up to twenty years. The best thing about this, compared with the paper record, is that using online pet records you can immediately see all the necessary immunizations that your pet should have, when he had it and when should be the next one.
For instance, for dogs, you will see that your pet needs to be vaccinated against Rabies, Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Coronavirus, Canine Parainfluenza, Canine Adenovirous Type 1 and Type 2, Canine Leptospirosis, Canine Bordetella, Canine Borreliosis or Lyme Disease, Canine and Feline Giardiasis. With the online pet records you will see for example that your dog should be vaccinated against Canine Distemper starting at the age six to twelve weeks because this disease can occur at a very early age. Similar with cats and other pets, with the help of your online pet records, you can keep track of the vaccination schedule and needs of your pets. And although your paper pet record from your bet can very well tell you when you should have the next vaccination and that your vet can tell you what your pet needs to be vaccinated against, with the online pet records, you will definitely not be able to forge anything since you can immediately see the checklist. This way you will not be able to miss a shot for your pet.
At the same time, online pet records are most comprehensive when it comes to keeping medial records of your pets. Similar with our medical records, online pet records records and electronically save all the laboratory tests your pet had, his medical history as well as his surgical history, if any. It also records the progress of your pet starting from the first vet visit onwards. Now the best thing about this is that should you misplace your pet record, especially if your pet suddenly need emergency care and cannot get in touch with your vet, you can simply print out the online pet record and give it to the attending vet.
