Multiple studies have found that gastrointestinal parasites and other infectious agents are commonly detected in dogs visiting dog parks.

While client-driven feature development will remain a priority, our overarching theme for 2026 is Zero-Touch Transactions.

In 2026, we’re focused on eliminating those touchpoints through smart automation, freeing staff to focus on higher-value work and improving the overall customer experience.
