The Dog Stop Franchise

Values & History

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 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.

Industry Performance

Market Demand & Advantage

It is estimated that nearly 50% of US households have at least one dog and there are 89.7 million dogs in the US. Pet Care in the US has become a $103+ billion per year industry with projected growth of 5-7% each year. More than ever, dogs are being considered members of the family. As a result, a larger share of the average yearly budget is being allocated to dog care.

Now, you can become a part of this booming pet care industry by owning a The Dog Stop® franchise. Previous pet or dog service experience is NOT required. Our dedicated team will train you and be there to support you on an ongoing basis. Help is never more than a phone call or an email away.
