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.
(52)

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!

TDS Wellness Tip Of The Week!🦴🩺💛
A balanced diet is key to your dog’s health. 🐕

Things to consider:
🐾Age, Size, and Breed: Choose a formula tailored to your dog's age and size for balanced nutrition.
🐾Ingredients: Prioritize whole proteins like chicken, beef, or fish as the first ingredient, and avoid fillers like corn, soy, or wheat.
🐾Understand Your Dog’s Needs: For allergies or sensitivities, try limited-ingredient or grain-free diets, and consult your vet for guidance.
🐾Stay Hydrated with Wet or Dry Food: Wet food aids hydration, while dry kibble supports dental health—mixing them offers both benefits.

Always consult with your vet when making changes to your dog’s diet—they can provide the best guidance tailored to your pup’s unique needs! 🧡

For your dog's dietary needs check out your TDS retail selection at your next visit!
