The Purina® Parent Club Program

Canine health is important to all of us. Eradicating diseases that
afflict dogs to help them live longer and healthier lives is a key
priority. That’s why the Newfoundland Club of America is participating in the Purina Parent Club Partnership (PPCP) Program. Purina is the first pet food manufacturer to step forward to financially support National Parent Breed Clubs to help raise money to fund canine health studies.

This program is truly a WIN-WIN program! Beyond the benefits you
personally receive as a Purina Pro Plan member, your national breed
club benefits, and the entire Newfoundland breed benefits!

The PPCP Program works through Purina’s loyalty program, Purina Pro Club®. Pro Club members will earn dollars for to be used for health studies, rescue and/or educational efforts. All you need to do is declare for the Newfoundland breed. As a member of Pro Club, you earn valuable Purina Points for every purchased pound of participating Purina® brand dog foods. The PPCP Program allows members to earn

10% of the value of all points from valid weight circles credited to their Pro Club accounts for our breed club. For example, for every $100 worth of qualifying weight circle points earned by our Pro Club members, Purina will donate $10.00. The money will be split so that 50% is donated to the NCA Newfoundland Health Challenge and 50% is donated to the Canine Health Foundation, Newfoundland donor advised fund.

Canine Health Foundation Matching Funds

Through the PPCP Program, Purina and the AKC Canine Health Foundation work together to help the Newfoundland Health Challenge address priority health concerns for Newfoundlands.

The donation from this program that goes to the AKC Canine Health
Foundation is eligible to be matched up to 100 percent by the Canine
Health Foundation. That means that more money can be applied toward research on health issues that are specific to Newfoundlands.

The goal of Purina and the AKC Canine Health Foundation is to provide funding and resources to help breed clubs accomplish more in learning help our dogs live longer, healthier lives.
