Very Important Dogs (VIDs)

VIDs make The Dog Ball
special & unique

The Dog Ball welcomes VIDs from all breeds – pure and mixed – to join in the fun.

Get started by completing the interest form on this page and a member of the VID Committee will contact you to learn more about you and your beloved pet or pets.

The cost to participate is $200 for one dog, $250 for two dogs (for more than two dogs, let’s talk), plus the cost of event tickets.

We are DOG GONE thrilled to tell you that our 2025 VID spots are FULL!

We can't wait to watch so many furry friends strut their stuff!

Because it is a couple of months before the event, we will still take Very Important Dog submission requests. Situations may change with already confirmed VIDs – the form below will allow you to join our waitlist or get your name on the first call list for 2026.
