The Dog Stop Expands to Oviedo, Florida with Focus on Premium Pet Care and Community Integration

The Dog Stop, an award-winning dog care brand, is expanding to Oviedo, Florida with a new location opening October 18 at 1370 Oviedo Mall Blvd. The facility will host a Halloween-themed grand opening celebration on October 25 featuring a dog costume contest, giveaways, and community activities. Owner Justin Steiner brings extensive business experience from his background as a Vanderbilt Business School valedictorian and consultant in technology and healthcare sectors before transitioning to pet care.

Steiner's motivation for entering the pet care industry stems from his desire to return to relationship-focused business practices and his personal commitment to raising pet care standards. His family includes several rescued greyhounds, and a negative experience with another boarding facility reinforced his dedication to safety and quality. Steiner was particularly drawn to The Dog Stop because of co-founder Jesse Coslov's continued involvement and the company's philosophy that pets are family members. I've always been inspired by the unique bond between humans and dogs, and the true partnership that has evolved between us over time, said Steiner, emphasizing his commitment to providing a trusted environment where safety and happiness come first.

Joining Steiner is General Manager Shaun Philbrook, whose 15-year career with the Winter Springs Police Department included serving as a K9 officer and leadership roles that provided extensive expertise in canine behavior and psychology. Philbrook's background in high-pressure canine work combined with his deep community roots in Central Florida positions him to deliver the level of care pet parents expect. The 10,000-square-foot facility will offer the brand's full suite of services including luxury boarding, interactive daycare, expert training, spa-like grooming, and premium retail products.

Steiner plans significant community integration through partnerships with local rescues and adoption events in the facility's large lobby area, with ambitions to expand to five locations throughout the region. The Dog Stop's approach emphasizes staying current with evolving dog care science and offering personalized services rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Justin embodies everything we look for in a The Dog Stop owner, said Coslov, noting that Steiner's passion and love for dogs will ensure high standards of care for Central Florida pets. Since its founding in 2009, The Dog Stop has grown to 39 locations across 15 states with over 50 additional locations planned, maintaining its commitment to comprehensive dog care through highly trained staff and premium services.
