April 14, 2025 // Franchising.com // PITTSBURGH, Pa. – The Dog Stop is thrilled to announce its entry into Arizona with its first location set to open in the Phoenix metropolitan area in fall 2025. Arizona has an increasing demand for pet services, and The Dog Stop is eager to meet that need.

The location will be owned and operated by Jonah Mars, who brings a strong background in accounting and finance, along with a lifelong passion for dogs. After earning his MBA from Arizona State University in 2022, Mars spent the past three years in fund accounting for a renewable energy company. While he found success in the field, he was drawn to franchise ownership for a more exciting and fulfilling career, one that aligned with his love for animals.

“I’m excited to bring The Dog Stop to Arizona and introduce local pet owners to everything we have to offer,” said Mars. “Phoenix is one of the largest and fastest-growing cities in the country, and with so many dog owners here, there’s a real need for high-quality, all-in-one pet care. Whether it’s daycare, boarding, grooming, or retail, we want to be the trusted partner for dogs and their families in the community.”

“Bringing The Dog Stop to Arizona is an exciting step,” said Jesse Coslov, CEO and Co-Founder of The Dog Stop. “We’re committed to growing in communities where we can make the biggest impact.”

Owned and operated by dog people since 2009, The Dog Stop understands the complex process involved in dog care and knows that there is no such thing as a one size fits all approach. At The Dog Stop, expert staff at each location stay up-to-date on the ever-changing science that applies to dog care, behavior, grooming, and nutrition. Its one-stop-shop offers pet care products and supplies, with each item on its shelves the latest and greatest in its respective category, ensuring that every dog who stops by receives the very best treatment.
