If you didn’t already know, the Poodle Club of America participates in the Purina Parent Club Partnership (PPCP) Program. Through the PPCP Program, Purina and the AKC Canine Health Foundation work together to help parent clubs address priority health concerns for their breeds and areas not previously funded. And you can help!

Here’s how the PPCP Program works: Pro Club members redeem weight circles from bags of participating Purina brand dog foods. Purina tracks these weight circle submissions, and for every $100 of qualifying weight circle points earned by Pro Club members, Purina donates $10 to the participating national parent breed club.

A percentage of program earnings go directly to the Canine Health Foundation for health research and the remaining funds are used by participating clubs for research, education or rescue. For all of us, that’s important because we all know our dogs will live longer, healthier lives when we can minimize the incidence of the often life-threatening conditions now affecting so many canines. Join the Purina ® Pro Club ® and earn points for health research today.
