The Dog Stop Expands to Cincinnati!

We’re thrilled to announce the grand opening of The Dog Stop Cincinnati Central, our very first location in the Queen City! 🎉

Led by local owner Mary Beth Schutter, this state-of-the-art facility is designed with every dog in mind — from energetic pups to those needing a little extra care and calm. Following Fear Free® principles, the team will focus on creating a safe, enriching, and stress-free environment for all dogs.

Join us for our Open House and Ribbon Cutting with the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce on Saturday, November 8, from 12–2 p.m. at 5164 Kennedy Ave. Enjoy facility tours, raffles (including a chance to win a year of free daycare!), and a special nod to local history with the original MadTree Brewery beer truck on site.

We can’t wait to meet Cincinnati’s dogs — and the people who love them. 💛

Mental stimulation is the secret to a calm, well-balanced dog. Without it, pups can get bored, anxious, and even destructive. At The Dog Stop, boarding and daycare include safe playgroups plus the option to add Delights activities (like puzzle games or cuddle sessions) so your dog gets the full mind-and-body workout. 🐶

10/24/2025

Before the playtime begins, every dog goes through an evaluation. It’s our way of making sure they’re matched with the right friends and set up for the best experience. Want your pup to join the pack? Ask us how to get a free day of play!
