If you feed Purina foods, please join the Purina Pro Club and be sure to identify the American Chesapeake Club as your Parent Club. There are a few criteria that you must meet to participate in the Pro Club, but many of us meet those criteria. There is no fee to participate and the points that you earn for your parent club are not subtracted from your own reward points. The benefit to the ACC is in addition to your own benefit. To earn points, you simply snap a photo of your dog food receipts and upload them to Purina via their website. For every $100 of qualifying Purina Points earned by Pro Club members, Purina donates $10 to the participating national parent club, in which half goes to American Chesapeake Club Charitable Trust and half to the ACC’s Donor Advised Fund at the AKC Canine Health Foundation.
 

These contributions from Purina can make a big difference in supporting canine health research, education and rescue.


Important Note: If you are already a Purina Pro Club member, please check to see if you have identified the ACC as your Parent Club.
