Choose with confidence
Is .dog right for your idea?
Make the next step straightforward
Show how to request an appointment and whether it is confirmed straight away. Ask for the information needed for that first conversation without making the process unnecessarily long.
Choose between dog and pet
The narrower .dog ending gives a clear canine focus. If your business also serves cats or other animals, .pet may leave more room for the wider offer.

Questions about .dog domains
Can I use .dog for a personal website?
Yes. It can be an address for a dog’s story, an enthusiast project or a service. Make the purpose clear, and keep private contact or location details out of public posts where appropriate.
Which .dog registration periods can I choose?
Standard .dog registrations are available for 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 years. Displayed term prices are full upfront charges. Confirm your term and renewal price at order review.
Can I connect a .dog domain to an existing website?
Yes, if the website service supports a custom domain. Follow that service’s DNS instructions. Domain registration and any paid website service are separate.
What happens after I find a domain?
Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.
Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?
No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
