Our fenced play yard is full of fun dog toys…soft sand to dig in…and lots of space. In the summer we have the doggie pool for cooling off. Our "dog house" is an open area that's air-conditioned in the summer and heated in the winter -- it's a great place to sleep at night or to take a break from outdoor play.

The Dog Stop is a family run business, meaning that all the family members get involved…humans, canines and cats. We live on premise and the dogs receive 24-hour care.
