Every year, DogWatch Dealers, staff and their families gather together for a DogWatch Dealer Meeting. This year, however, our ‘gathering’ was a bit different!

While we were not able to gather together physically this year, that did not stop us from connecting with each other. On Thursday and Friday, February 4 and 5, 2021, we held our first Virtual DogWatch Dealer Meeting! 

Our Virtual Dealer Meeting attracted over 150 attendees, including employees, families and pets, too! We kicked off the Virtual Meeting on Thursday afternoon, with a presentation from DogWatch Founder and CEO Fred King. In addition to the annual business review, Fred recognized DogWatch Dealers celebrating significant anniversary milestones with DogWatch in 2021. Here is the list!
