# Accepted species and breeds

_Step by step to enable species, manage each one's breeds and register a new species._

> **💡 Tip**
>
> Register the **breeds you serve**: besides organizing, it's what makes **per-breed pricing** work. And use **non-accepted breeds** on the pet record to avoid bookings your store doesn't handle.

Under **Settings → Species and Breeds** you define **which species** your store serves (dog, cat…) and the **breeds** of each. These lists feed [pet registration](/en/operacao/clientes-e-pets/cadastrar-e-editar-pet/), pricing and the [calendar filters](/en/operacao/agenda/entender-a-agenda/).

## Enable or disable a species

Each species has a **switch**. Turn off a species the store doesn't serve — it stops appearing in pet registration and bookings. **Species settings** (the gear) opens that species' settings, and the **arrow** on the right **expands** it to view and manage the **breeds**.

## Manage the breeds

Expand a species (arrow on the right) to see its **breeds**. There you add, edit or remove breeds. The more complete the list, the better: **per-breed pricing** and breed search depend on it.

## Register a new species

Click **New species**. In the form:
- **Enable/Disable species** — starts enabled;
- **Species type** — pick the type;
- **Species name** and **Change icon**;
- **Accepted in segments** — which segments (Pet Shop, Clinic, Daycare/Hotel) the species applies to.

Click **Save new species**.
