One glowing testimonial: “Visited many daycares that did not work for our high-energy large breed puppy, and loved this one! The live webcam is great; you can see what your dog is up to during playtime. The staff has also been very flexible, attentive, and friendly.”

PUPS Pet Club

This daycare, vet clinic, groomer, and trainer (yes, all at once!) fulfills its goal of making life better for dogs and humans alike through the three “C’s”: care, communication, and convenience.

One glowing testimonial: “My dog loves coming to PUPs pet club. She has done the training, pet play, and grooming and we are always very satisfied with all services. They take good care of the pups and video to watch furry friends during the day. Great healthy treats that my dog loves. Definitely go to PUPS!”

One glowing testimonial: “My dog loves coming here for daycare, boarding, and grooming. The staff is helpful and always gives notes on how he did during the day. I am so thankful for all they have done for us.”

Urban Pooch Canine Life Center

Urban Pooch was voted Best Doggie Day Care in the Reader’s Best of Chicago Poll, and for good reason: this spot offers some of the best daycare, “cage-free” boarding, and pup retail around. Plus, with the newly-introduced “Playtime Express,” Urban Pooch offers pickup and drop-off seven days a week.

One glowing testimonial: “Can’t say enough good stuff about these people. Wonderful attitudes, polite, clean professional facility. They have done great work helping us raise our little Beagle and we recommend them very highly!”
