There are a lot of great dog kennels in Chicago. After trying a few Ive settled on Pooch Chicago in Lincoln Park.When you enter Pooch Chicago you immediately see the care and attention to detail that was put into designing the kennel. The friendly receptionist welcomes you and your dog. If it is your first time boarding your dog at Pooch the receptionist will set up an account and verify your dogs vaccinations. Your dog will then be led upstairs where the private rooms and play areas are located. My dog is always a little scared, so I go into the elevator with her and say goodbye there.
The facility has fairly large private rooms. Each room has a glass window so the dogs can see out. At night a comfy bed is brought into the room. During the day the dogs spend most of their time in one of two large play areas. The dogs are separated based on their size. The play areas are constantly supervised in case the dogs play a little too rough. The play rooms are cleaned and disinfected twice a day so you know your dog will always have a cleans place to play.
My dog is always glad to see me when I pick her up, but she does not seem to mind spending a night at Pooch. The best part of Pooch Chicago is the staff. They are friendly and they seem to have the best interest of the dogs in mind.
Pooch is also very convenient. You can pick up and drop off your dog 24 hours a day. This is great for those of us with hectic schedules. For an additional fee Pooch will even pick up your dog.
Pooch Chicago is located at 2228 N. Clybourn. They have a second location in the West Loop at 1214 W. Monroe. I highly recommend Pooch. Give them a call and take a tour of one of their great dog kennels.
