Pet boarding/training near La Grange

“Kerry has been great with training Quentin. He was a rescue when he arrived to me with only some crate training. Now he knows his name and all the basic commands. Could not have done it without Kerry's training and support to myself to keep it going!“

“We love DuPage Animal hospital! You really get to know the staff who are so friendly and kind! We love Dr. DiGiacomo too! Very thorough, compassionate, and accommodating!“

“I’m very happy with my grooming experience at The Barker Shop. Simon looks very handsome after every visit as did my previous dogs, Bob and Sugar.

The woman at the front desk was efficient and courteous. The groomer keeps excellent records, so communication of my grooming preferences is easy.

The new location is easy to access.

I’m very pleased with everything about The Batker Shop.“

“Absolutely amazing experience every time! My pet always comes back looking and smelling incredible, and you can truly tell how much care and love goes into their work. The team is patient, professional, and so attentive to detail. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my baby is in such good hands. Thank you for always making the experience so easy and comfortable highly recommend to anyone looking for a groomer they can truly trust!“

“I’ve been bringing my dog, Blair, here for the last 7 months and she absolutely loves it. She goes 5 days a week and gets so excited every time. It’s extremely convenient for my unpredictable work schedule that they’re open from 7am–7pm.
I moved here for work without family nearby, but Dogtopia truly feels like a second home for Blair—and honestly, for me too. The staff is caring, attentive, and really treats the dogs like their own. I feel completely at ease knowing Blair is safe, happy, and well taken care of.
I couldn’t recommend this place more!“

“My bloodhound, Hank, Has been coming to the Dog District since he was a small puppy and he is now 5 years old - never once have I been disappointed in their level of care. Hank has also been boarded there when I have been out of town many time and they never fail to put my nerves at ease and I know he is always in the best of hands! I will never stop recommending to friends and family! Thanks for all the years of love so far for my boy Hank ??“

Dr Gil took the time to address all concerns and explained everything he was doing. Highly recommended. Your fur baby will be in great hands.“

“My experience with Downer's Grove Animal Hospital was very pleasant. I needed a USDA health certificate to travel with my dog and they were very efficient in getting it done quickly.

Tammy answered all of my questions and prepared everything needed for my dog's health certificate. Dr. Graham did an exam on my dog and had a very kind demeanor throughout our appointment which is always appreciated.

I travel very often with my dog and even still, there's a lot of really confusing information on the web about what's required for specific countries when traveling with a pet (and that can get stressful quick) but Downers Grove Animal Hospital made sure I had all of the information I needed and I ended up getting the health certificate back the same day, which was a relief. Results may vary as the hospital isn't responsible for when the USDA processes the health certificate but I would highly recommend this animal hospital for their overall efficiency and thoroughness.

Thank you again. I truly appreciate your help!“

“Pat is an excellent dog trainer. It has been years since I had a dog and last Christmas We gave our 10 year old son a German Shepard Puppy — Rosie. We love our Rosie but she is a high drive dog and can be very difficult. I had no idea how to handle this awesome dog. Pat was able to show me, my son, and my Wife how to walk in heel without Rosie pulling us all over place. Shepards never give-up!! Also he showed us how to have a well behaved dog in the house and car. How to make her sit still and down stay and all kinds of little tricks or hacks to get our dog to listen. He is never pressed for time and is very patient dealing with us. He is worth every dollar. I had complements from our vet and other people how well behaved our dog is. Don’t hesitate to use Pat. He is a good trustworthy man.“

“Hey I just wanted to shout out Animal Hospital of Western Springs. They SAVED my cat. He ate something he shouldn’t have and it was stuck in his intestines, he threw up like 6 times in 10 hours and by the next morning he was lethargic and not wanting to leave his house. I called my regular vet because that’s where I take all of my pets and they couldn’t see him. In all the years I’ve had my pets I’ve had three emergencies and their regular vet would never be able to see them (even though they take emergency visits?) they are always booked up. The first time I had an emergency (my dog chipped his tooth) they referred me to the animal hospital of western springs. It was 20 minutes away from house so I took my dog there. The next two times they referred me to an emergency vet hospital in Chicago. I remembered Western Springs and called and they took them in the same day.

They saw my cat within the hour, they talked me through everything. They showed me his X-rays, the lab work. They gave me all of my options and they talked me through all of them. What would have cost me about thousands and thousands at an emergency vet hospital cost me half at Western Springs. Dr. Ernesto Perez literally saved my cats life, he made sure to call me right after the surgery to give me updates, the hospital sent me pictures of what was going on when they did the surgery, and they saved the object he swallowed so I could see it. I picked my cat up after two nights and they were always willing to answer my questions. If I had concerns I would give them a call and they always reassured me. He just got his stitches out today and he is doing so much better. The staff is super friendly and they treated me and my pets with so much kindness.

If you didn’t read all of this (understandable?) just know this, Animal Hospital of Western Springs saved my cat’s life and has always been there for me when I have pet emergencies. They are affordable and the staff is friendly and kind and the Dr. Perez does amazing work. It’s 20-25 minutes from my house but that drive is worth it to get my pets seen by this place.

Dr. Perez, and everyone there at Western Springs, thank you for saving my Michi.“
