On May 18, 2026, DogHuggy, a subsidiary of Petgo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nakano-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Hiroshi Kurosawa; Securities Code: 7140), announced the 'DogHuggy Dog Host Recruitment Point Present Campaign' for applicants to its 'DogHuggy' dog boarding matching platform, operated via Petgo's pet healthcare website (petgo.jp).
■ About DogHuggy Joining the Group
Petgo operates under the slogan 'Happy Pet Life' with a mission to maximize the healthy lifespan of pets. In April 2025, FLAFFY, a company specializing in major pet media and events, joined the group, strengthening connections with pet owners through cross-selling commerce and media. In December 2025, DogHuggy, a pioneer in dog boarding matching services in Japan, also joined the group.
With these additions, the company is advancing a 'Pet-Life Platform' that caters to diverse lifestyles by integrating pet commerce, media, and care. This campaign is a concrete measure to accelerate the 'Pet Care (experiential consumption)' sector within this integrated management framework.
■ Background and Purpose of the Campaign
Securing a place for dogs during travel or business trips is a significant challenge for many owners. DogHuggy is a matching platform that enables boarding in a comfortable, home-like environment, reducing stress for dogs.
Since DogHuggy joined the group, Petgo has gradually integrated the two services. In April 2026, it introduced a single sign-on feature using the 'Petgo account,' enabling members to use their existing registration information to start activities as a dog host safely and smoothly.
By leveraging the experience and knowledge of Petgo members, who have a high interest in pet life, the company aims to enrich pet care within local communities. This campaign supports the first step for members as 'dog hosts' and accelerates the expansion of infrastructure supporting a safe pet life.
