The Dog Stop

TDS East End. We were bred from the beginning to be America's best all-inclusive indoor/outdoor dog care facility.
(23)

Pittsburgh's best all-inclusive dog care facility offering daycare, boarding, grooming, retail store, and Pittsburgh’s first enrichment program for those pups not eligible for daycare. 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 industr

y. 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!!

Our Story

We were bred from the beginning to be Pittsburgh's best all-inclusive indoor/outdoor dog care facility. The Dog Stop® opened its doors in 2009 after owners Jesse Coslov and Chris Kane spent several years researching the pet care industry, surveying the needs of local pet owners and planning an all-inclusive facility. Their goal is 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. Everyone needs a mission, so as the first pups were entering the doors, Jesse and Chris made a commitment to their vision for the service. Today that mission and our commitment at both locations remain the same: To deliver a superior experience for the dog and his or her whole family by providing a safe environment, offering educational opportunities, anticipating and exceeding the needs of our clients and their pet companions, instilling complete peace of mind for those we serve—and to earn their trust every day! Our facilities cater to letting dogs do what they do – whether it’s running in our backyards, playing with friends, or just lounging around. Pups who enjoy daily playtime and physical activity are better adjusted, less stressed, healthier and happier – so we focus on lots of exercise and playtime for every pup. Our trained canine companions are fully prepared for belly scratches, hugs ‘n kisses, and launching chew toys for all our visiting pups, ensuring that each visit to The Dog Stop® is a pawsitively perfect experience. Come by today to tour the facility and get your dog signed up to join the best dog experience in Pittsburgh!
