Founded in 2009 by Jesse Coslov and Chris Kane, The Dog Stop has grown into a leading name in the pet care industry. Inspired by thorough research and a deep understanding of what pet owners need, they opened their first location in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania — which remains the company’s home base today.
In 2014, The Dog Stop launched its franchise program, opening doors for entrepreneurs eager to enter the growing pet care sector.
The brand provides a wide array of services, from dog daycare and overnight boarding to grooming, training, and in-home care. It also features a retail shop stocked with premium pet products. By offering everything under one roof, The Dog Stop delivers convenience and reliability that pet owners can count on.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.

The Dog Stop provides franchisees with a comprehensive set of training programs designed to ensure operational success:
The Dog Stop provides its franchisees with a protected territory described in terms of zip codes or geographic boundaries, typically covering at least 40,000 households or 25,000 dogs.
Within this territory, the franchisor agrees not to open or authorize another The Dog Stop location, giving the franchisee a level of local market protection. However, the franchisee is not allowed to directly solicit customers outside of their territory but may serve customers who voluntarily seek their services.
Despite this protection, The Dog Stop retains broad rights to sell products and services through other channels inside and outside the territory, such as online sales, catalogs, fairs, expos, and telemarketing.
The franchisor and its affiliates can also operate or license businesses under different brands, even those offering similar services, both within and beyond the designated territory. Importantly, the franchisee does not receive compensation for sales the franchisor makes through these alternative channels.
