Can my dog see a vet without vaccine records or papers?

When in doubt, just repeat the vaccines. In general the risks are minimum. If you can remember where he got the vaccines done, they should still have the information. Once he gets his vaccines, you will get updated records. Thank you for using Pet Coach!

In most cases, you'll need owner permission in order for records to be transferred over, so while you can contact the vet, you may not be able to obtain full records. That said, they may at least be able to confirm neuter/vaccine status for you so you can let your vet know. If you can't get any records, you can also have your current vet perform a titer test to see where Wooly's immunity levels are, and then booster vaccines from there.

What a cutie dog! That's ok if you don;t have any info. Just start all over again with vaccines, heartworm testing and heartworm prevention. You will not hurt him. Tell the vet his history to help make the best decision. Obviously you may try to find the people and ask them about his health history but if you can't reach them, it will be ok. I hope this helps.

If you can’t get ahold of the original owner, then no there’s nothing a vet can do to verify Charlie has had his rabies vaccine. To be honest, if they are claiming they lost the records, I would assume he hadn’t gotten any vaccines at all. The vet who gives the vaccines keeps records, so the original owners could have contacted the vet to get their copy. I would advise getting Charlie his DHPPi as well as rabies. I hope this helps.

Yes you can bring him to a VetCo clinic for vaccinations, a check up and microchipping if you like. Here is a list of prices and locations: https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/vaccination-packages-and-prices/. You may also try to find out which vet the former owner used. The vet should have a health record of the dog.

Oh my. Your lack of his shot records shouldn't be a reason why Jackson can't be seen. Really the only vaccine that is required for a pet to get treatment is the Rabies, so the vet will likely just give that 1 vaccine if you have no proof that he is up to date. Then the vet will proceed with getting this burn treated properly. He will need burn cream (i.e. silver sulfadiazene) and oral antibiotics only available through your vet, to get this to heal. Burns do take a bit to heal, so persistence and regular check ups with your vet will likely be needed. So getting him seen rigth away is encouraged. Best wishes at the vet and I hope Jackson is able to make a full and speedy recovery. Take care.

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Great question! Yes, you need to take Dandy to a vet and let them know that you just got him but did not receive any vaccine records. . They will get him started on his vaccines and likely give him a deworming. They will talk to you about what else he may need like heart worm prevention, flea/tick prevention, etc depending on what is prevalent in your area. It is best to get him established with a vet anyway in case of any problems that may arise or emergency situations. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
