Go RVing will serve as the official RV sponsor of the 2026 National Dog Show, with an exhibit and a breed competition sponsorship planned for the Nov. 14-15 event in Pennsylvania to reach dog owners and demonstrate RV travel options for people traveling with pets.
The partnership with the Kennel Club of Philadelphia includes an interactive display in Hall B of the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center and sponsorship of the Labrador Retriever breed competition on the show’s main floor.
Attendees will be able to tour an RV, view its features and amenities, and enter a sweepstakes for a chance to win $10,000 that could be applied toward an RV purchase.
According to the Go RVing 2025 RV Owner Demographic Profile, 43% of RV owners said the ability to bring pets was a crucial factor in their decision to own an RV.
“Trips aren’t the same when you can’t bring the whole family and for so many RVers, that includes their dog,” Monika Geraci, Go RVing spokesperson, said in a News and Insights report of RVIA. “RVing means your dog doesn’t have to miss out on the memories. In fact, they can take on their role as chief adventure officer — making sure every corner gets explored and no hugs are missed.”
The event also draws RV travelers among its competitors and spectators. Wayne Ferguson, president of the Kennel Club of Philadelphia, said many exhibitors arrive in recreational vehicles with their dogs.
“Many of our 2,000 entries arrive in RVs, and our show caters to both the competitors and spectators who thrive on a lifestyle that specifically includes the dogs that enrich our lives,” Ferguson said.
The National Dog Show features two American Kennel Club-approved shows across the two-day event, with breed, group and Best in Show judging. It brings approximately 2,000 dogs and thousands of dog lovers together each year.
The sponsorship gives Go RVing an opportunity to connect with attendees who already travel with dogs, while the RV display and sweepstakes will introduce visitors to vehicle features and potential purchase options.
