Hi,

I don't have cats but I have a dog and have never had to show his vaccination record to my pre-reg inspector or at my graded inspection.
They never asked.

I think you should have a risk assesment stating when their jabs, flea treatment etc are but I don't think you need evidence for it.

I know when I did my ICP training they said all cats and dogs should have their injections and you should keep their card or receipts as proof - but I haven't ever been asked - I know childminders who put the receipts through as expenses but I know you shouldn't do that.

Good luck with your inspection

In my recent inspection I did show the Ofsted inspector my Pet's risk assessment which show's when they were last wormed. This is the main point for parents and inspectors.:thumbsup:
