Go RVing is joining The National Dog Show and the Kennel Club of Philadelphia as the Official RV Sponsor of this year’s event, showcasing how pet-friendly the RV lifestyle is to thousands of dog lovers and owners.
As part of the partnership, Go RVing will host an interactive display in Hall B of the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center on Nov. 14-15, as well as sponsor the Labrador Retriever breed competition on the main floor of the event. At the display, attendees can tour an RV and explore the features and amenities that can make RV travel comfortable and convenient for all travelers, and enter a sweepstakes for a chance to win $10,000, which could be used toward an RV purchase.
For many, the ability to travel with their pets is a top reason they chose to become RV owners and join the RV lifestyle. According to the Go RVing 2025 RV Owner Demographic Profile, 43% of RVers say the ability to bring pets is 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,” according to Monika Geraci, Go RVing spokesperson. “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 connection between RVing and The National Dog Show already runs deep, with many exhibitors and spectators traveling to the event by RV 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,” said Wayne Ferguson, president of the Kennel Club of Philadelphia.
The National Dog Show features two complete American Kennel Club-approved dog shows across the two-day event, with breed, group and Best in Show judging. The event brings approximately 2,000 dogs and thousands of dog lovers together each year.
