An email address for your dog's Instagram account
Hi, I'm Mary. Fiona has her own Instagram, @doggyemail, and her own email address. If your dog has a following (even a small one), brands, other dog accounts and photographers will want a place to reach "the dog" that isn't your personal inbox. Here's how to set that up in a few minutes.

Why a dog account needs its own email
- Collab and giveaway requests land in one place instead of your personal DMs and inbox.
- It looks professional. fiona@doggyemail.com in your bio is easier to trust (and remember) than a long personal address.
- Your own address stays private. Mail forwards to the inbox you already use, so nobody sees it.
- Sign-ups stay tidy. Use it for pet brands, newsletters and contests, then filter it into one folder.
How to add it to your Instagram
- Claim your dog's address at doggyemail.com (the first dog is free).
- In Instagram, open Edit profile, then Contact options.
- Add the new address as the public email, and save. Switching to a professional account may be needed to see this option, depending on your account.
- Mention it in your bio, for example "Collabs: fiona@doggyemail.com".

Tips for dog accounts
- Match the handle. If your account is @pancakethepup, try pancakethepup@ or pancake@.
- Reply from your own address. Replies go out from your normal inbox, so write them in your dog's voice if you like, and sign with their name.
- Be careful with sponsors. Check any brand before you send an address or ship anything to them, and never share passwords or login codes.

Common questions
Can my dog's Instagram account have its own email?
Yes. Add any address you control as the contact email in your Instagram profile. A @doggyemail.com address forwards to your real inbox, so you get the mail without sharing your personal address.
Do I need a business account for a contact email?
The Contact options button is available on professional (creator or business) accounts. Instagram's settings change, so check what your own app shows.
Is it free?
Yes. Your first dog's @doggyemail.com address is free. More dogs on the same email are $0.99 each, up to 3 dogs.
Happy wags,
Mary & Fiona 🐾
