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!

🐾 Meet Larry! 🐾 This sweet, affectionate pup is ready to charm his way into a loving home! 🏡❤️ Larry came to Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh (HARP) as a stray, so his past is a mystery, but his future is looking brighter than ever. 🌟Larry would thrive in an active household where he can channel his energy into fun activities like scent games and soak up all the love he deserves. 💕 While he has a few manageable health quirks, HARP’s team is happy to share more details with potential adopters. He’s selective with his canine pals (quality over quantity, of course 😉) and would do best in a home without cats or small animals.

If you’re looking for a fun-loving companion bursting with personality and ready to bring endless joy to your life, Larry might be your perfect match!❤️ Stop by and meet him at HARP's East Side Shelter. 🏠🐕

Bella (little black booty walking off camera in the beginning) could’ve cared less and was there for the butt sniffs. She was all about the cookies and milk though!

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!
