ACA Frequently Asked Questions


How do I register a dog from a different registry?

You will need to send in a COPY of the front and back of your current registration certification showing your name as the owner along with a 3 generation pedigree and the processing fee. If you are transferring ownership from the previous owner listed on the registration certificate you will also need to fill in the transfer section on the back of the certificate.

What is a Worldwide Lost and Found Pet Tag?

It is a plastic tag for the collar of your dog with a unique number that is attached to your dog’s registration number. If someone finds your dog, they can call the 1-800 number on the tag and we can provide your contact information so they can return your dog. This service is free of charge for the life of your dog.

How can I get a Worldwide Lost and Found Pet Tag?

The Pet Tag is one of the benefits your dog receives as part of the registration. Once you receive your certificate you will need to contact ACA at 1-800-651-8332 to request your tag free of charge. You will receive it back in the mail within 7-10 business days.
