Checklists, planners and records for every stage of dog life.
Every printable on this page is free, complete, and yours to keep. Not samples. Not the first three pages of something you have to buy to finish.
They exist because dog care is mostly small details — what she ate, when the last dose was, which door he bolts for — and those details are impossible to hold in your head and surprisingly easy to write down once. Pick whichever one matches the week you're actually having.

The First Week, One Day at a Time
The first week gets blurry fast. This is where the potty breaks, the meals, the people they met and your vet's after-hours number all live — on paper, in one place.
New Puppy · Personalized
Puppy Planner Generator
Answer four questions and watch your puppy's first year build itself on real calendar dates — not "at eight weeks." Export one page, print it, put it on the fridge.
Vet Visits · 1 page
Before You See the Vet
Why you're going, what changed and when, and the questions you need answered before you leave — written down beforehand, with room to capture what the vet actually says.
Sitters & Caregivers · 1 page, 2 sides
Everything My Sitter Needs to Know
Meals, walks, medication, the quirks nobody thinks to mention, and who to call first — plus an authorization line, so your sitter can act if they have to.

Before You Need It
A current photo, microchip and ID details, and the numbers you'd want in front of you on the worst afternoon of the year. Gathered calmly, long before anyone needs it.
How the free dog printables work
Four of the five are PDFs. You give us an email address, the file arrives, and it's yours — print it as many times as you like, for as many dogs as you have. The fifth, the Puppy Planner Generator, isn't a file at all: it builds your planner in the browser as you type and you export the finished page yourself.
Every PDF is fillable, which is the part people are usually surprised by. You can type straight into the fields on a laptop or phone and save your copy, write on it in a notes app on a tablet, or print it and use a pen. All three work. There is no wrong way to use a checklist, and you don't need to own a printer.
They come in US Letter and A4, so they print properly wherever you are, and they open cleanly in Canva if that's where you like to work.
Which one should you start with?
You brought a puppy home in the last few weeks. Start with The First Week, then build the first-year planner. The checklist handles the next seven days; the planner handles the next twelve months.
You have an appointment coming up. Before You See the Vet. Fill it in the night before, not in the waiting room.
You're going away — one night or two weeks. Everything My Sitter Needs to Know. Fill it in once and it works for every trip after this one.
Nothing is urgent and you'd like to keep it that way. Before You Need It. It takes about fifteen minutes on an ordinary afternoon, and it's the one people are most relieved to have already done.
Why we give these away
Because the fastest way to show you what a well-made dog-care page feels like is to hand you one. The internet is full of free pet printables and most of them are a Word table with a paw print on it. These are the real thing — designed, tested, and built to be used at 6am when you're holding a leash in one hand.
If they earn a place on your fridge, there's a larger system behind them. The Fuzzy Paws & Tails Signature Collection is twelve printable volumes covering puppies, health records, sitters, travel, training, senior care, emergencies and everyday routines, all in one design language — and it opens on October 1, 2026. The free pages above are genuinely useful on their own, and they'll stay free either way.
Questions people actually ask
Are these dog printables really free?
Yes. All five, in full, at no cost. You give an email address and we send the file. There's no trial, no card, and no locked second half.
Do I need a printer?
No. Every PDF is fillable, so you can type into it on a laptop, phone or tablet and keep it as a file. Printing is one option, not a requirement.
What paper size are they?
Both US Letter and A4 are included with every download, so it prints correctly whether you're in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or anywhere else.
Can I use them for more than one dog?
Yes — print a copy per dog. They're licensed for your own household's dogs. If you're a sitter, groomer, trainer, rescue or boarding facility and want to use them with clients, email us and we'll sort out a license for that.
How do I open a fillable PDF?
Free Adobe Acrobat Reader handles them on any device. Some browsers and preview apps will show the pages but won't save what you type, so if your typing disappears, open the file in Acrobat Reader instead.
Does the Puppy Planner Generator email me a file?
No — and this one's worth knowing. It builds your planner live in the browser and you export the finished page yourself. Nothing is stored on our side, so print or save it before you close the tab. You can always go back and rebuild it in about a minute.
Can I share them with a friend?
Please send them this page rather than the file. Same result for them, and it means they get their own copy if we ever improve it.
