A new puppy checklist: give your puppy their own email address
Hi, I'm Mary. When Fiona was a puppy, the vaccine schedule, training class sign-ups and microchip papers were mixed in with my bills and work mail. Now dog mail goes to one address, fiona@doggyemail.com, which forwards to my inbox, where one filter keeps it together.

Where to use it in the first weeks
- Breeder or shelter: adoption paperwork, health records and updates.
- Vet: first-visit forms, vaccine reminders and invoices.
- Microchip registry and licensing: registration and renewal notices.
- Trainers and puppy classes: sign-ups, schedules and homework.
How to set it up
- Claim your dog's address at doggyemail.com (the first dog is free).
- Give it to the breeder or shelter, vet, trainer and microchip registry as your puppy's contact email, or as a second email on your account.
- In your inbox, make a filter or label for mail sent to that address, so everything dog-related lands in one folder.
- Send yourself a test message to check it arrives.

Good to know
- Keep your own contact details current with the vet and the microchip registry. For anything urgent, they should also have your phone number.
- One address, many places. If you change inboxes later, your dog's address stays the same.
- Never share passwords or login codes by email, with anyone.

Common questions
Should a new puppy have their own email address?
Yes. It helps. Use your puppy's @doggyemail.com address for the breeder or shelter, vet, trainer and microchip registration, so all the new-puppy paperwork lands in one place.
Will the puppy mail still reach me?
Yes. Mail sent to your dog's address forwards to the inbox you chose when you signed up. Send yourself a test message to be sure.
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 🐾
