Kennel Connection, a leading provider of pet care facility management software and a 100GROUP company, today announced its full integration with iDogCam, a camera solution built specifically for the pet care industry. The integration brings live, secure camera access directly into the Kennel Connection Client Portal, giving pet parents real-time visibility into their pet’s stay while creating new revenue opportunities for pet care facilities.
For pet care businesses, trust is everything. Pet parents leave behind animals they love and want to know they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. The Kennel Connection and iDogCam integration makes it easier than ever for facilities to deliver that peace of mind, right from within the platform their clients already use to book appointments, sign contracts, and manage their accounts.
Seamless Camera Access, Built Into the Client Experience
Once configured, cameras appear automatically under a dedicated tab in the Kennel Connection Client Portal, accessible only when a pet is checked in. Facilities have full control over how and when cameras are available, including the ability to:
- Assign cameras to specific runs, daycare rooms, play areas, and outdoor spaces
- Offer camera access as a complimentary perk or charge an optional viewing fee as a revenue-generating add-on
- Set camera availability by service type or time of day, so clients only see what’s relevant to their pet’s actual schedule
- Display a custom message when cameras are offline, keeping the client experience polished and professional
- Disable cameras instantly at any time directly through the iDogCam portal
The integration is secured through a direct API handshake between Kennel Connection and iDogCam, adding an additional layer of protection that standalone camera systems cannot offer. Setup is straightforward, and adding cameras as a facility grows is quick and requires no complicated configuration.
Two Industry-Focused Companies, One Powerful Integration
iDogCam was built from the ground up for pet care, not retrofitted from a generic security or surveillance product. Co-founded by Aron Garrison, Phillip Cochran, and Kevin Hanson, three veterans of the broadcast technology industry with a combined collection of Technical Emmy Awards and a shared passion for animals, iDogCam was developed specifically to address the unique needs of kennels, daycares, grooming salons, and boarding facilities. The company works directly with each facility to ensure the setup is effective, reliable, and easy to manage.
Kennel Connection shares that same industry-first philosophy. As a software platform built by people who understand the pet care business, Kennel Connection has spent over 30 years developing tools that reflect the real-world needs of the facilities that use them. The integration with iDogCam is a natural extension of that commitment, pairing best-in-class camera technology with the platform pet care professionals already trust to run their businesses.
“Pet parents want to feel connected to their pet’s experience, and pet care businesses want a simple, reliable way to provide that,” said Jeff Brodsly, Owner and CEO of Kennel Connection and 100GROUP. “Our integration with iDogCam delivers both. It’s the kind of feature that builds real loyalty, and the fact that it’s woven directly into the client portal our customers already use makes it genuinely effortless for everyone involved.”
“iDogCam was designed to give pet care facilities a camera solution that actually fits the way they operate,” said Aron Garrison, President of iDogCam. “Integrating directly with Kennel Connection means our technology is no longer a separate tool businesses have to manage on the side. It’s part of the experience, for the facility and for the pet parent. That’s exactly where it should be.”
Build Trust. Boost Revenue.
For facilities looking to add a new revenue stream, the integration offers the option to charge for premium camera access as an optional service add-on. Whether offered free as a client experience perk or monetized as a paid feature, live camera access is proving to be a differentiator that resonates strongly with today’s pet parents.
“The webcam integration into our client portal was seamless, and our clients love the convenience,” said Colleen Kelley, Owner of Beck ’n Call Pet Services. “The ability to expand services with private access and add-on viewing options is exciting and creates new, profitable opportunities.”
To celebrate the integration launch, iDogCam is offering Kennel Connection clients 50% off up to 20 cameras for a limited time. The offer is available to both new and existing iDogCam users. To take advantage, clients must be on the Kennel Connection integrated platform with payments enabled.
Getting Started
The iDogCam integration is available now for Kennel Connection clients. Setup requires a Kennel ID and ERP Code provided by iDogCam and can be configured directly within the Kennel Connection platform under Manage > iDogCam. Both the Kennel Connection and iDogCam support teams are available to assist with onboarding and configuration.
