Each year, our DogWatch Dealers, their staff, and family members congregate at a usually sunny and warm setting for the annual DogWatch Dealer meeting. At our meeting, Dealers celebrate each other’s accomplishments, share stories and experiences, attend seminars and workshops, and reconnect with their extended DogWatch family.

Unfortunately, the world has had other plans for the last two years. While the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we do many things, it hasn’t changed the camaraderie and passion of the DogWatch team.

So, for our second straight year, we’ve found a way to continue our tradition by meeting virtually. On February 17th, 150+ attendees, including employees, families, and pets, joined together as we kicked off the Virtual Meeting with a presentation from DogWatch Founder and President Fred King. 

In addition to the annual business review, Fred recognized DogWatch Dealers celebrating significant anniversary milestones with DogWatch in 2022.
