AKC Registered Pets

The AKC is not the only registry of purebred dogs, but it is the only non-profit registry and the one with which most Americans are familiar. Founded in 1884, the AKC is the largest purebred dog registry in the world. Along with its nearly 5,000 licensed and member clubs and affiliated organizations, the AKC advocates for the purebred dog as a family companion, advances canine health and well-being, works to protect the rights of all dog owners and promotes responsible dog ownership.*

Pets registered with the American Kennel Club are eligiible for a certificate that is redeemable for a first office visit at Rocky Gorge Animal Hospital. This certificate is only for the first office visit and does not cover any vaccines, x-rays, medications or procedures.
