Post-Adoption First-Year Guide
Just adopted a dog or cat? Get a grounded, printable month-by-month plan for their first year — so nothing important gets missed.
Build your first-year planWhat it does
The first year sets up a pet's whole life, and it's the year with the most to track — vaccinations, spay/neuter timing, parasite prevention, training windows, food transitions, and the health issues worth watching for your pet's breed. The Post-Adoption Guide turns all of that into a clear, month-by-month plan you can print or save.
What's in the plan
- Vaccination & wellness schedule across the first year.
- Spay/neuter timing guidance.
- Training milestones for the key early windows.
- Food & feeding guidance for a growing pet.
- A breed-specific health watch-list — the conditions most worth knowing about for your pet's breed, and when they tend to emerge.
Grounded in published guidance
The schedule backbone is a fixed dataset built from published veterinary guidance (such as AAHA, AAFP, AVMA, and AVSAB), and the breed-specific layers come from PawNexus's own breed data — not improvised by an AI. You get a plan you can trust and take to your vet.
Print it or save it to a Pet Passport
Download the plan as a branded PDF, or attach an optional QR that pre-seeds a Pet Passport so your pet's identity and records start on day one. Shelters and rescues can hand this to adopters as a first-year head start.
