We were bred from the beginning to be America's best all-inclusive dog care facility. 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!

🎉🐾 Tovah’s Big One! 🐾🎉
Tovah’s first birthday was pawsitively perfect! There was bouncing in the ball pit and munching on a tasty birthday biscuit. Our little birthday pup had a tail-waggin’ time celebrating in style. 🥳🎈
We made sure every moment was paw-some—fun playtime with furr-iends and birthday treats that left Tovah begging for more. The birthday girl even got a special “pup-arazzi” session, capturing her cutest looks all day long! 📸
Tovah, thanks for making our day as special as yours! Here’s to many more bark-tastic birthdays ahead! 🐶💖
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!!
