# How do I upload vaccine records?

Log in to your Happy Paws online account and upload a copy. You can also email the records or bring a copy to the first check-in.

[Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600)

The records must show vaccines that will not expire during the stay.

## Three ways

Upload through your account (the Book / My Account link), email a copy to HappyPawsKennels_Dixon@yahoo.com, or bring paper to your first drop-off. Pick what is easiest.

- Ask your vet clinic to send you the record.
- Check the dates against the last day of your stay.
- Upload it to your account, email it, or bring it.

## What to check

Dogs need rabies, distemper/parvo, Bordetella and canine influenza. Cats need rabies and FVRCP. Look at the expiry dates before you send anything. See [vaccination requirements](https://happypawskennels.com/vaccination-requirements/).

## After a booster

Send an updated record when your pet gets a booster. That keeps the file good through the end of your stay.

## More help

The [sending vaccine records page](https://happypawskennels.com/vaccines/sending-vaccine-records/) has the details, and the [vaccine readiness checker](https://happypawskennels.com/tools/vaccine-readiness-checker/) reviews your dates.

## Common mix-ups

A record that expires in the middle of a stay is the usual snag. Check each vaccine date against your last day. Canine influenza needs an initial dose and a booster 3 to 4 weeks later, and the kennel accepts a dog after the first dose. Send the booster record when it is done.

## Who to ask

Your veterinarian's office can email the record in minutes. Request it a few days ahead of your trip. Questions can go to 707-678-6600.

## Keep a copy

Keep a copy of the record on your phone, so you can show it again at drop-off if the kennel asks.
