Be ready before the inspector arrives.
SmartPupPro helps breeders prepare for kennel inspections by reviewing the records you already maintain, identifying missing information, organizing important documents, and showing you what still needs attention.
Spend less time wondering whether your records are ready and more time knowing what needs to be completed before inspection day.
An inspection should not become a last-minute paperwork project.
Breeders already record much of the information an inspector may need. The challenge is knowing whether that information is complete, where something is missing, and which records should be ready to review or print.
Know what is missing
SmartPupPro reviews important kennel records and identifies information that may need attention before an inspection.
Go directly to the problem
Missing-information items can link back to the dog, puppy, litter, owner, or placement record that needs to be corrected.
Prepare your records
Generate organized, printable reports from the same information you use to manage your kennel every day.
Find problems before inspection day.
SmartPupPro turns the information in your kennel records into an actionable readiness review. Instead of manually opening every dog, litter, puppy, and placement record, you can start with the areas that need attention.
Example readiness issues
Instead of hunting through your records, start with the records SmartPupPro has identified for review.
From everyday records to inspection readiness.
You should not have to maintain one set of records for your kennel and another set just for inspections.
Keep normal records
Manage dogs, puppies, litters, owners, buyers, identification, placements, and other kennel information as part of your normal workflow.
Run a readiness review
SmartPupPro evaluates the information used for inspection records and highlights areas that may need attention.
Correct missing details
Follow the readiness issues directly to the appropriate record and complete the missing information.
Prepare your documents
Review and print organized kennel records so they are ready when they are requested.
Inspection records should come from the records you already maintain.
SmartPupPro connects inspection preparation to the same dogs, puppies, litters, breeding records, buyers, placements, and identification details used throughout your kennel.
Enter information once. Use it throughout SmartPupPro.
When a breeder updates a dog's identification, a puppy's placement, or a litter's sire information, the inspection tools can use that same underlying information.
That means fewer duplicate records and less chance that two reports disagree with each other.
Keep important kennel records organized and ready to review.
Inspection preparation is easier when the underlying information can be turned into clear reports instead of assembled manually.
Kennel Rosters
Create a current view of the dogs and puppies associated with your kennel, including relevant identification and status information.
Ownership Records
Keep acquisition, ownership, transfer, and placement information connected to individual animal records.
Litter Records
Keep breeding dates, sire and dam information, litter details, puppies, and related records together.
Identification Records
Track microchip, tattoo, tag, and other identification information with the dog's or puppy's record.
Placement Records
Keep buyer, new-owner, sale, transfer, and go-home details available when historical ownership needs to be reviewed.
Readiness Checklist
Bring the pieces together into one place so you can see which areas are ready and which still require attention.
Prepare for the inspection that applies to your kennel.
Different organizations and jurisdictions may have different requirements. SmartPupPro can organize inspection preparation around the records and documentation relevant to the inspection you are preparing for.
AKC Kennel Inspection Readiness
Review kennel records, ownership information, litter records, identification, placements, and inspection documentation.
Additional Inspection Support
The inspection framework is designed to support additional breeder compliance and inspection workflows as SmartPupPro expands.
Inspection preparation should happen throughout the year.
The easiest inspection to prepare for is the one you have been preparing for all along.
By keeping normal kennel records complete as dogs are acquired, puppies are born, litters are raised, and puppies are placed, breeders can avoid reconstructing months or years of information when an inspection is scheduled.
“Know what is missing while you still have time to fix it.”
