Microchip Enrollment Toolkit for Breeders

Information to send home with your puppies
Let your puppy buyers know about the extra care you provide for your puppies! Remind them about their new pet's microchip and reinforce the importance of enrolling their microchip. One way to do this is by including a copy of our microchip enrollment reminder with their paperwork.

Follow-up Email to new puppy owners:
You can call AKC CAR anytime to check whether or not your microchips have been enrolled in our recovery service. If dogs that have microchips that are not yet enrolled, oftentimes a reminder email will help. Below is a sample email that you can send to your new puppy buyers.

Subject line: ALERT about your puppy's microchip

Dear Puppy Buyer,

I trust you and your new puppy are having the best of times together.

Please don't forget your puppy is permanently identified with an AKC Companion Animal Recovery (AKC CAR) microchip, and it is extremely important that the microchip is enrolled under your name. Enrolling your pet with AKC CAR's Recovery Service, helps to insure your dog will get home to you if ever lost.

Please take a minute and enroll your pet at www.akccar.org.

The life time enrollment fee is only $17.50. There are no additional fees for as long as you own your pet. You will receive a collar tag with your confirmation letter in about 4 weeks.

Please protect your puppy and enroll its microchip today.

Thank you,
