Free digital Pet Passport · For dogs
Your dog's health record, always in your pocket
Between rabies boosters, annual leptospirosis shots, kennel cough requirements for boarding and that one shampoo that made them itch for a week, a dog's health history gets complicated fast. Paper vaccination booklets get lost, and no groomer can read your vet's handwriting anyway.
Why dogs need a proper health record
The LetzPaws Pet Passport keeps your dog's full record — vaccinations with expiry alerts, allergies, medications, microchip number, temperament and grooming preferences — in one free digital profile. Every professional you book on LetzPaws sees it before the appointment, and you can share a private link with your vet or kennel in one tap.
Common dog vaccinations to track
| Vaccine / measure | Protects against | Typical schedule | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rabies | Rabies virus | Every 1–3 years depending on the vaccine | Legally required for travel within the EU |
| DHPPi (combo) | Distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza | Puppy series, then every 1–3 years | The core combination shot |
| Leptospirosis | Leptospira bacteria | Annually | Important for dogs that swim or walk in fields |
| Kennel cough (Bordetella) | Infectious tracheobronchitis | Annually | Often required by boarding kennels and daycare |
Schedules vary by country, lifestyle and your dog's health — always follow your veterinarian's advice. This overview reflects common practice in Western Europe.
A dog's typical care rhythm
Grooming every 6–8 weeks
Most coats need a professional groom every six to eight weeks — more often for poodles, doodles and other continuously-growing coats. Log cut preferences and sensitive areas in the passport so any groomer gets it right first time.
Daily walks, structured exercise
Energy levels vary hugely by breed. Recording your dog's temperament (energetic, reactive, shy) helps walkers and sitters plan the right kind of outing before they even meet.
Annual vet check-up
Yearly wellness exams catch problems early and keep boosters on schedule. Keep your vet's contact in the passport so any professional can reach them in an emergency.
Parasite prevention
Flea, tick and worm treatments typically run monthly to quarterly. Note the product and date under medications so sitters never double-dose.
Expiry alerts
Every vaccination is tracked with its expiry date — anything overdue is flagged in red automatically.
One-tap sharing
Generate a private link and show the full passport at the clinic — no app needed on their side.
Seen by every pro you book
Allergies, temperament and care notes appear with every LetzPaws booking, before the appointment starts.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as the official EU Pet Passport for dogs? +
No — the official EU Pet Passport is a paper document issued by an authorised veterinarian and required for cross-border travel. The LetzPaws Pet Passport is a free digital health record for everyday care: it complements the official document by keeping vaccinations, allergies and care notes organised and shareable, with automatic expiry alerts.
Which vaccinations does my dog need before boarding or daycare? +
Most kennels and daycares require up-to-date DHPPi, rabies and kennel cough (Bordetella) vaccinations. With the LetzPaws passport you see at a glance whether anything has expired — expired vaccines are flagged in red — and can share the record with the kennel in one tap.
How do groomers and sitters see my dog's passport? +
When you book on LetzPaws, the professional automatically sees your dog's passport with the booking: allergies, temperament, grooming preferences and any health alerts. You can also generate a private read-only link to show anyone else, like your vet.
What should I record for a dog with allergies? +
List the allergen (food, medication, environmental), the reaction, and anything to avoid — for example a shampoo brand. Professionals see allergies highlighted as a health alert before every appointment.
Is the LetzPaws Pet Passport really free? +
Yes — completely free, for any number of dogs, with no card required. It takes about two minutes to create.
