Web Kennel System uses a link in the form: www.dogtec.com/kennel/your-kennel/contact that does not expose your email address, and allows visitors to send you messages directly from the site, please use this instead.

Individuals who wish to deactivate their Dogtec account or their dogs profiles may do so by sending a request to Dogtec.com using the contact link provided on the home page. Removed information may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time but will not be generally available to members or visitors of Dogtec.

Dogtec takes appropriate precautions to protect our users information. Your account information is located on a secured server behind a firewall.
