Free breeding software, built around the animal
United Pet Club is free breeding software for dogs, cats and every other species you breed. Matings, litters, growth records, pedigrees and the handoff to each buyer live in one place, and every animal gets its own profile at birth that stays with it for life.
Everything from mating to go-home
Litter management
Register a litter step by step: the dam, one or more sires (an outside stud too), natural or AI mating, the due window and the birth. Each litter moves from Expected to Born, Weaned and All sold, with a reminder a week before the due date.
Litter growth chart
Weigh the whole litter in one session. The growth chart plots every puppy or kitten, and the weight table shows who is ahead, who is behind and how each one compares with littermates of the same sex.
Pedigree builder
Link each animal's sire and dam and the pedigree builds itself, generation by generation, with the inbreeding coefficient (COI) worked out for you. Each animal's public page shows a clean three generation chart.
Application forms
Start from the puppy, kitten or stud service application template, or build your own form. Applicants fill it in on your public profile or your website, and every response lands in your dashboard.
Contracts with e-signature
Reservation and sale agreements signed online by every party, in the order you set. A litter reservation and sale agreement is built in, and an approved application can send the contract for you. Contracts are bought as credits in packs.
Pet parent sharing
Let each future pet parent watch their puppy or kitten grow. Share photos, weights and parents view-only, with an end date if you want one. One animal is free to share; a whole litter at once comes with the Litter Pass.
Waitlist and deposits
Keep a waitlist with pick order and take protected deposits that stay held until both sides confirm the handover and the chip matches. Both come with the Litter Pass.
Care log
Record vaccinations, deworming, exams and treatments for the litter, with next-due dates and an overdue flag so nothing slips before go-home.
Handoff to the pet parent
Every animal has one profile for life. At go-home you send a transfer invite, the pet parent accepts in their own free account, and the profile moves to them with the records you chose to share.
Microchips included
Register any ISO microchip free for each animal in the litter. Lifetime lost-pet recovery comes with it.
Keepsake certificates
Send each animal home with a keepsake certificate, such as Off to My New Home, issued from your breeder profile.
A public presence
A listing in the breeder directory, a public page for your program, and public pages for your animals and past litters.
Heat cycles and a breeding calendar
Record heats and progesterone or LH results to see each female's fertile window and next expected heat, with a reminder before it. Heats, matings, due dates and births share one calendar.
Genetic compatibility
Check any pairing before you breed: the litter's inbreeding coefficient, the share of affected and carrier offspring for each DNA marker both parents were tested for, and the breed risks still untested.
RetrieverAI breeding advice
Ask RetrieverAI about a pairing and get a plain-language assessment of its inbreeding, DNA results and breed risks, with next steps. It uses RetrieverAI credits, and a veterinarian should review its advice.

The litters workspace: every litter with its dam, sire, counts and status in one table.
From first weigh-in to a new home
A litter starts as a birth record and ends as animals living in other people's homes. The software follows that whole arc. Each newborn gets a profile at birth. You log weights as they grow, attach the microchip when it is implanted, and add health notes as things happen.
When a buyer is ready, you send a transfer from the animal's profile. They accept it under their own account, ownership changes hands, and the records travel. The family starts with the animal's real history instead of a folder of photocopies, and you keep your own copy of the breeding records.
Owners see the same profile from the other side: growth charts, pedigree, registration and identifiers on one page. That is the point of the design. Better records for you are better insight for them.
Weekly weigh-ins per offspring. The growth matrix shows who is ahead, who is behind, and by how much.
What stays free
The breeding software itself is free. Microchip registration is free too, for every chip you register, for the life of each animal, and so is lost-pet recovery.
Litter records are free as well: registering a litter and its animals, weigh-ins, photos, pedigrees, chip registration and transfers cost nothing, with no yearly quota. You pay only for the litters you sell. A Litter Pass, $29 once per litter, unlocks reservations, protected deposits, a contract per reservation and whole-litter sharing; contracts come in credit packs of 10, 20 or 50. A kennel or cattery that also boards, trains, grooms, offers stud service, handles or transports gets the booking software free and pays a 1.25% (minimum $0.50) Commission per service booking, with the same pass per litter it sells. See breeder software pricing for the details.
Every breeder, kennel and cattery is listed in the breeder directory for free, and the directory is ranked on quality alone: verification, health tests, contract use, response time, reviews, profile completeness and recent litters. No plan or fee moves a listing up.
How to get started
1
Create your account
Sign up free and set up your breeder profile. You can get listed in the breeder directory from day one.
2
Add your breeding animals
Create profiles for your dams and sires, attach their microchips, and link pedigrees where you know them.
3
Record your first litter
Log the birth and each newborn gets its own profile. From there it is weigh-ins, chips, and transfers when they go home.
Every species, not only dogs and cats
Dogs and cats have their own guides: breeding software for dog breeders and for cat breeders. The software itself is species neutral.
Rabbits, birds, reptiles, horses and other species use the same litter records, growth tracking and transfers. The species guides cover the animals themselves, and registration is free for all of them.

What it costs
Litter records are free and unlimited, and there is no percentage on the animals you sell. Selling a litter takes a Litter Pass, $29 once per litter, and contracts come in credit packs. A kennel or cattery that boards, trains, grooms or offers stud service gets the booking software free and pays a 1.25% (minimum $0.50) Commission per booking plus the Platform Processing Fee, with the same pass per litter it sells.
Protected deposits hold the buyer's money until the handover is confirmed by both sides and the chip matches, at 5% (minimum CA$5) of the deposit. The directory listing is free and ranked on quality only. See breeder and kennel pricing.
Breeding software questions
Is there free breeding software?
Yes. United Pet Club is free breeding software: a free account covers your animals' profiles, every litter you register with its weights, photos and pedigree, free microchip registration, transfers and lifetime recovery, with no litter quota. You pay when you sell a litter through the platform: a Litter Pass at $29 once per litter, and contracts in credit packs. A kennel or cattery that takes bookings (boarding, daycare, training, grooming, stud service, handling, transport) gets the booking software free and pays a 1.25% (minimum $0.50) Commission per booking. The directory listing is free either way.
Is the free breeding software a trial?
No. The free plan has no time limit and no litter quota, so you can record every litter you breed for as long as you like. Paid options only add tools for selling a litter.
What does the breeding software cover?
Litter management from mating to go-home, a litter growth chart, a pedigree builder with inbreeding coefficients, application forms, a care log, pet parent sharing, microchip registration, ownership transfers, keepsake certificates and a public page for your program and animals. A waitlist with pick order and protected deposits come with a Litter Pass; contracts with e-signature are bought as credits in packs.
Does it work for catteries?
Yes. Litters, queen and stud records, and kitten transfers work the same way as for dogs. There is a dedicated guide for cat breeders.
Can I track a litter from birth until each animal goes home?
Yes. Each newborn gets a profile at birth. You record weights and health notes as they grow, attach microchips, and transfer each profile to its new owner at go-home.
Do the new owners get the records?
The records you choose to share move with the transfer. The new owner continues the same profile instead of starting a new one, and you keep your breeding records.
Is this also pedigree software?
Yes. Pedigrees build from your litter records rather than hand-typed charts, inbreeding coefficients are computed for you, and each animal's public page shows a three generation chart.
Does it include a pedigree builder?
Yes. Link each animal's sire and dam from the animals on your account and the pedigree builds itself, with the inbreeding coefficient calculated for you. Because every ancestor is a real profile rather than a typed name, the chart stays accurate as records grow. Visitors see three generations on an animal's public page and signed-in members see five.
Can I send puppy and kitten contracts for e-signature?
Yes. Every party signs online in the order you set, starting from the built-in litter reservation and sale agreement or a template of your own. From a buyer's waitlist entry, the contract fills in the litter, the animal and the buyer for you. Contracts are bought as credits, in packs of 10, 20 or 50.
Can buyers fill in a puppy application?
Yes. Start from the puppy, kitten or stud service application template or build your own form, then publish it. Applicants fill it in on your public profile or your website, responses arrive in your dashboard, and an approved application can send your contract automatically. Forms are free.
Can the future pet parent follow the litter?
Yes. Share an animal view-only with its future pet parent, either with their United Pet Club account or by link. You choose what they see (photos, weights, parents) and can set an end date. Sharing one animal is free; sharing a whole litter at once comes with a Litter Pass. Sharing ends at the transfer, when the animal moves into the pet parent's own account.
Can buyers verify a microchip I registered?
Yes. Anyone can run a free microchip lookup and confirm the chip is registered, without seeing your personal details.
Is microchip registration free for breeders too?
Yes. Registration is free for every chip, for the life of each animal, however many litters you register. Contact updates are free as well.
Does United Pet Club replace kennel club registration?
No. United Pet Club records identity, pedigree and recovery for the animal itself. Kennel and breed clubs certify pedigrees within their own studbooks. Many breeders use both.
Does it work outside the United States?
Yes. Registration and recovery work worldwide, and the platform is available in more than 70 languages.
What is the difference between a breeder and a kennel or cattery on United Pet Club?
It is about what the profile does, not its legal shape. A breeder is a profession on a person or business profile with no bookable services. A kennel or cattery is one business kind, Kennel & cattery, for a business that also takes bookings; the species follow the breeds it declares, so a dog-only business reads as a kennel, a cat-only one as a cattery, and both as both. A breeder who starts offering bookable services is asked to switch; a kennel that stops can switch back. Breeds, litters, listings and clients stay through the switch.
