The Dog Stop is your one stop shop for all your dog’s needs. Jesse Coslov and Chris Kane founded The Dog Stop in 2009 with a goal to create a safe and fun environment for all dogs. Over a decade later, The Dog Stop continues to carry out this goal with over seven locations in Strip District, East End, West Liberty, Sewickley, Wexford, Upper St. Clair, Monroeville, and one coming soon in Carnegie.

The Dog Stop offers dog grooming, daycare, boarding, training, and in-home services. Doggy daycare and boarding welcomes all breeds, but dogs must be up-to-date on vaccines and flea/tick requirements. Trained staff are fully prepared to play, love, and care for all visiting dogs for a day of puppy playdates. Grooming services available include nails, ears, haircut, wash, and so many more. High-quality service gives your dog the perfect canine care day. Learn more about pricing and availability for all services online.

In addition to The Dog Stop’s service, pick out a gift from their pet retail store. Treats, toys, healthcare, grooming products, and more are for sale for any dog’s need or wants. These are a great gift for the upcoming holidays for any dog or dog owner in your life. 

Turn a “ruff” year into a “pawistive” one by picking up a gift or gift card from the two stores above – shopping local is the greatest gift to give!
