FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What makes this conference unique?
The DogCo Business Summit was formed to help bridge gaps in the pet care industry by providing content focused on business strategy and growth. At DogCo, we believe that pet care business owners should be able to have a healthy work-life balance, earn adequate income, and stay connected to their mission while growing their companies.
How many people will be in attendance?
The inaugural Summit in 2025 hosted approximately 150 pet care companies, and we expect even more pet care professionals to attend in 2026.
If I can’t make it in person, can I get the recordings?
If you purchased a digital ticket prior to September 25, 2025, you will have access to the digital recordings for one year.
Can I come if I don’t have a team yet?
Absolutely. We welcome all pet care professionals, no matter the size of your business. We think the best way to get inspired and chart a path forward is to be in the room with people who are already where you’d like to be.

The content will be applicable to all segments of the pet care industry — in-home pet care, boarding & daycare, grooming, training, product & retail, etc.
