EXPLANATORY
NOTE
On
October 19, 2026, the Registrant received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”)
notifying the Registrant that, based upon the closing bid price of its Class A common shares for the last 30 consecutive business days,
the Registrant no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). This
current report is filed pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b). The Nasdaq notification letter does not result in the immediate delisting
of the Registrant’s Class A common shares, and the shares will continue to trade uninterrupted on The Nasdaq Capital Market under
the symbol “DOGZ.”
Pursuant
to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Registrant has a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until April 19, 2027 (the “Compliance
Period”), to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. If at any time during the Compliance Period,
the closing bid price per share of the Registrant’s Class A common shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business
days, Nasdaq will provide the Registrant with a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed. Nasdaq may, in its
discretion, require the Registrant to maintain a closing bid price of at least $1.00 for a period in excess of 10 consecutive business
days, but generally no more than 20 consecutive business days, before determining that the Registrant has demonstrated an ability to
maintain long-term compliance.
In
the event the Registrant does not regain compliance by April 19, 2027, the Registrant may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar-day
compliance period. To qualify, the Registrant will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly
held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and
will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse
stock split, if necessary. If the Registrant chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the split no later than ten
business days prior to the expiration of the applicable compliance period. If it appears to Nasdaq that the Registrant will not be able
to cure the deficiency, or if the Registrant is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Registrant’s Class
A common shares will be subject to delisting, at which time the Registrant may appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.
On
October 20, 2026, the Registrant issued a press release entitled “Dogness Receives NASDAQ Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Price
Requirement.” A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 6-K and is incorporated herein
by reference.

Dogness
Receives NASDAQ Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Price Requirement
DONGGUAN,
China, October 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – Dogness (International) Corporation (“Dogness” or the “Company”)
(NASDAQ: DOGZ), a developer and manufacturer of a comprehensive line of Dogness-branded, OEM, and private-label pet products, today announced
that on October 19, 2026, it received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”),
notifying the Company that it is currently not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule
5550(a)(2) because the closing bid price of the Company’s Class A common shares was below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business
days. This press release is issued pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure of receipt of a deficiency
notification. The notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s Class A common shares, which will continue
to trade uninterrupted on Nasdaq under the ticker “DOGZ.”
Pursuant
to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until April 19, 2027 (the “Compliance
Period”), to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. If at any time during the Compliance Period,
the closing bid price per share of the Company’s Class A common shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business
days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed, although Nasdaq may, in
its discretion, require the Company to satisfy the requirement for a longer period, generally no more than 20 consecutive business days.
In
the event the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by April 19, 2027, the Company may be eligible
for an additional 180-calendar-day compliance period. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its Class A common shares
and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance.
