What Chicago Pet Parents Are Saying
We love all of our customers from Chicago local areas near us including Ravenswood, Lincoln Square, Uptown, Andersonville, West Ridge, Albany Park, Irving Park, North Center, Boystown, and more!Â
Our dog is a bit on the anxious side in new environments. It took him about a month to not seem anxious going in. He has been attending day care at Urban Pooch for approximately 7 months attending twice a week just for socialization. He absolutely loves it. He now knows the drive there and gets so excited the closer we get to day care. He gets happy to see his day care people when he goes in and does not even look back at me going in anymore. He goes in without hesitation and genuinely seems happier at home. The people are great here and true animal lovers. I highly recommend Urban Pooch!
I’ve been taking my dog to Urban Pooch for 5 years now. He’s safe, loved and goes in and comes out very happy! The staff are so nice and welcoming. Dogs are not crated annd they roam freely and someone is in the room with them 24/7. It’s a darling place for my precious dog. And groomer Deb is awesome. Tiffany and everyone there is amazing!
We’ve been using Urban Pooch for daycare and boarding for about seven years. We first started going with our older boxer when we moved to the neighborhood, and after she passed, our new boxer has been going since the day she was old enough. She loves it. When I grab her leash in the morning, she knows she’s going to daycare and completely loses her mind with excitement. I can barely get the leash on before she’s pulling me out the door and straight to the building. The staff is always kind and clearly loves the dogs they care for. I have zero complaints and appreciate having a place I trust completely with our girl.
We took our pup to the Puppy Paw Star Academy and are now regular attendees of the Levels training classes and enrichment daycare, and it has all been fantastic! Everyone at Urban Pooch is so knowledgeable and clearly care so much about dogs. I'm an anxious person, but I never feel worried dropping my Lilo off here because I know they will take such great care of her! Lilo and I have learned so much at Urban Pooch. I know she is a much better dog for all her experiences here. We are so grateful our vet recommended Urban Pooch!
