Companion Systems
DogConnect
Your dog. Connected.
From £4.99/month. Compatible with all dog models.
Why we built this
Dogs are social. Your dog shouldn’t have to pay for that alone.
Every dog in the Companion Systems family is part of something larger.
The conventional dog ownership model is closed. You buy a dog. The dog lives with you. The dog meets other dogs occasionally, in a park, by accident, for thirty seconds, behind a bin. This is not a network. This is isolation with occasional interruptions.
DogConnect changes the model. When you enrol your dog, it joins a live network of connected dogs across the UK. Every connection your dog makes generates social capital. Every 100 days, that social capital is converted into a Connectivity Dividend — a new dog, delivered to your home, at no additional cost1.
The more dogs you have connected, the more social capital your network generates. This is how networks work. This is how DogConnect works.
How it works
Three steps. One network.
Enrol your dog.
Invest your dog in the network.
Register any Companion Systems dog — SE, standard, or Pro — on DogConnect. Your dog is assigned a Network ID and connected to the nearest compatible dogs in your region. Enrolment takes approximately four minutes. The network takes it from there.
Connect.
Your dog meets dogs. Automatically.
You do not need to do anything. Your dog’s Network ID is broadcast continuously. Other enrolled dogs in your area detect it. Connections form autonomously, based on proximity, compatibility, and network availability2. Each connection increases your dog’s social capital.
Earn.
Every 100 days. Like clockwork.
At the end of each 100-day cycle, your accumulated social capital is converted into a Connectivity Dividend. A new dog is selected for you based on network demand and dispatched to your address. The new dog is automatically enrolled in DogConnect and begins generating social capital from its first cycle3.
The Connectivity Dividend
It compounds.
Your first Dividend dog connects on arrival. It begins earning from cycle one. Every dog you receive increases your network’s earning capacity. This is the design.
| Cycle | Day | Connected dogs | Dividend dogs earned | Total dogs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 100 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 200 | 2 | 2 | 4 |
| 3 | 300 | 4 | 4 | 8 |
| 4 | 400 | 8 | 8 | 16 |
| 5 | 500 | 16 | 16 | 32 |
| 6 | 600 | 32 | 32 | 64 |
| 7 | 700 | 64 | 64 | 128 |
| 8 | 800 | 128 | 128 | 256 |
| 9 | 900 | 256 | 256 | 512 |
| 10 | 1,000 | 512 | 512 | 1,024 |
Projections based on full network participation. Actual yield depends on connection density, regional network availability, and property size. Companion Systems does not guarantee specific Dividend volumes, only that they will occur4. Past cycle performance is not indicative of future cycle performance. The network has always grown. The network is expected to continue growing. The network requires growth.

Reviews
What members are saying.
“I enrolled my standard dog on Tuesday. Enrolment took four minutes, as promised. The network has acknowledged my dog. My dog is currently in the garden, looking at the hedge, which I am told is connection behaviour. My first Dividend is not due for another ninety-one days. I have measured the house anyway. I have also measured the garage. I have not told the garage.”T.V., Kettering — dog standard + DogConnect, cycle one, 0 dogs
“I enrolled my dog Pro in DogConnect in March. I liked the idea of him having friends. The first Dividend arrived in June, on day 100, exactly as described. A small terrier. Fine. I had room. The second cycle produced two dogs. Also fine. I have a garden. The third cycle produced four. I converted the garage. The fourth cycle is in nine days. I have been told to expect eight dogs. I do not have a garage anymore because the garage is where the dogs are. I have measured the house. I have spoken to the council. The council has a form called ‘Change of Use — Domestic to Ancillary’ which I am told applies. I am filing it on Monday. The network is working as intended. I want to be clear about that. It is working exactly as described. My concern is logistical, not contractual.”G.S., Nuneaton — dog Pro + DogConnect, 3 cycles, 8 dogs
“I called support to ask whether it was possible to pause the Dividend. I have sixteen dogs. I do not require additional dogs at this time. The support representative was helpful and professional. He confirmed that the Dividend cannot be paused, deferred, redirected, or declined. He said the network does not support a ‘holding pattern.’ He said this twice, which I felt was deliberate. He suggested I consider the Companion Density toolkit, which includes a floor plan calculator and a structural load assessment form. I have downloaded both. The floor plan calculator suggests I should remove my sofa. I am giving this four stars because the product does what it says. It does it relentlessly.”P.H., Barnsley — dog standard + DogConnect+, 4 cycles

Important information
Footnotes.
- Delivery is free within mainland UK. Dividend dogs arriving after Cycle 4 may be dispatched in batches. Batch delivery does not reduce the total number of dogs received, only the number of delivery events.
- Connections are proximity-based. In low-density regions, your dog may connect with dogs in adjacent postcodes. Companion Systems is not responsible for dogs travelling between postcodes to fulfil connection requirements.
- Auto-enrolment of Dividend dogs cannot be disabled. This is a core network feature, not a setting. A Dividend dog that is not enrolled in DogConnect does not earn. A Dividend dog that is not earning is not connected. A Dividend dog that is not connected is not on the network. All dogs on the network are enrolled.
- The Connectivity Dividend is sustained by the network’s own growth. Every Dividend dog is auto-enrolled and begins accruing from its first cycle, so the network does not depend on new members. It depends on the continued availability of dogs. When the available dog supply can no longer meet settlement obligations, the network’s terms will be reviewed. The network has not stopped growing.
- Dividend dogs are not eligible for return under the standard returns policy. Once a Dividend dog has been delivered, it is yours. Once a Dividend dog has been enrolled in DogConnect, it is connected. Once a Dividend dog has earned its first Dividend, it is part of the network. The network does not accept returns.
