The Dog Stop

The Dog Stop The Dog Stop Middletown, a 10,000 sq. We were bred from the beginning to be America's best all-inclusive indoor/outdoor dog care facility.
(51)

ft+ dog care facility, features luxury dog boarding accommodations, an indoor/outdoor interactive & social daycare experience, a spa-like dog grooming retreat, holistic retail store, & much more. The owners of The Dog Stop® spent several years researching the pet care industry, surveying the needs of local pet owners, and planning an all-inclusive facility after they saw a lack of transparency in

the industry. Their goal was to create a fun and safe environment where dogs would love to come and play, and pet owners would feel 100% confident in the superior care that their dogs were receiving. In 2009, the first The Dog Stop® doors opened in Pittsburgh, PA. Since that day, The Dog Stop’s mission has been to deliver a superior experience for the dogs and their whole families by providing a safe environment, offering educational opportunities, anticipating and exceeding the needs of clients and their pet companions, instilling complete peace of mind for those we serve – and to earn their trust every day! Today, there are over 20 Stops throughout the United States! Each Stop is locally owned and operated, but was bred and trained on the original The Dog Stop morals and mission. The Dog Stop® is here to offer an honest and reliable pet care solution so that you can be the awesome pet parent you need to be!

SEE THE CAPTION FOR HIS INCREDIBLE JOURNEY⬇️

"Hi. My name is Ernie. My family has a lot of names for me - Big Ern, Ernie the Bernie, and Ernest. Apparently, I was born with a detached retina in one eye...honestly...I have no idea what that means...All I remember is that I could only ever see out of my right eye.

After a year, I had developed glaucoma and the doctor said I had to get my eye removed. Which is good because all that eye was doing for me was causing me headaches and swelling! I didn't really like that. My mom and dad were so worried to send me into surgery not knowing how I felt, but I did my best to be brave for them. When it was all over my mom and dad were there to pick me up. I was so excited to see them I came bounding out of the doctors office toward them...they knew that they helped me and I was fine!

Turns out life is pretty much the same with one eye. Getting the zoomies in our local park in northern Seattle is the best. Going to dog parks with my friends is still my favorite. Peanut butter kongs are still spectacular. And being lazy on the couch with my parents is better than ever. Happy International Blind Dog Day!" 🦮 ❤️ 💛

At The Dog Stop®️, we believe that every dog should be welcomed regardless of breed, age, size and even if they have special needs such as blindness like Ernie. We’re dedicated to accommodating their unique requirements to ensure they have an fun and safe experience!!

🐾🌞 Summer's here, and it's heating up! Here are some essential tips and tricks to help your dog beat the heat:

💦 Hydration: Always have fresh, cool water available, especially outdoors or after play.
🐕‍🦺 Limit Exercise: Walk and play in the cooler parts of the day. Protect paws from hot pavement.
🕶️ Shade and Airflow: Create shade with umbrellas or trees. Ensure good ventilation indoors.
🐾 Protect Paws: Avoid hot surfaces, use paw balm, and consider booties.
🚗 Avoid Hot Cars: Never leave your dog in a parked car.
🆒 Cooling Accessories: Use cooling mats, vests, or wet towels. Provide access to shallow water.
💈 Grooming Tips: Regular grooming helps. Avoid shaving too short.
🥵 Watch for Overheating: Look for panting, drooling, rapid heartbeat, or lethargy.

Remember, a little extra care goes a long way in keeping your dog safe and comfortable during the summer months. Share these tips with fellow dog lovers to ensure all our furry companions stay cool and happy! 🐶💦☀️
