The Dog Stop

The Dog Stop The Dog Stop West Board Street, a 12,500 sq. We were bred from the beginning to be America's best all-inclusive indoor/outdoor dog care facility.
(19)

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!

National Make A Dog’s Day October 22, 2024

Rory’s Remarkable Rescue: From Dumpster to Doggie Royalty

On May 19, 2024, Rory was found abandoned in a duffle bag inside a dumpster in Fredericksburg, Virginia. She was so tiny and malnourished, she could barely stand—just skin and bones. My sister discovered her and offered her food. We hadn’t planned on adopting a dog, but when we met Rory, we knew she was meant to be part of our family.

Since then, Rory has transformed into a lively 45-pound dog. We believe she might be a German Wirehaired Pointer, but we’re waiting on DNA test results. Her favorite things include cheese-flavored treats (especially Easy Cheese), chewing on sticks, and playing with plastic bottles. She loves to cuddle and is always eager to make new dog friends, no matter their size!

Rory has two cat siblings, Fishstick and Ellie, who mostly keep their distance from her playful energy. We trust The Dog Stop for her daycare and boarding needs because the staff is so caring. Rory enjoys her time there so much that it’s always hard to get her to leave.

Despite her tough start in life, Rory is a joyful and loving pup. Chris adores her unique way of sitting like a "princess," with her legs crossed to the side, while I can’t get enough of her adorable floppy ears. Her resilience and spirit have brought so much happiness into our lives. Rory’s journey from a dumpster to becoming the heart of our home is a testament to the strength of animals and the power of love. We’re so thankful she’s ours!

Thank you The Dog Stop on West Broad for considering our story. Chris and Kate Ducca

Give your pup the challenge they need with fun, interactive toys like this one! A few minutes of brain work can make a world of difference. 🐶❤️

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! 🧡
