Pet boarding/training near Oakbrook Terrace

“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!“

“They do everything they can for my doggo and cats and treat them with such compassion and do everything to make sure they’re happy and if it’s more serious they’ll find referrals. Amazing vet work.“

“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!“

“Auggie's first day at The Gold Leash Carol Stream was a success! Loved picking him up and meeting long-time customers who praised your services.“

“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.“

“Staff was helpful and Dr. Jonathan was very kind and informative to my cats needs, I would recommend this animal hospital to other people“

“Great staff! Very informative about all services. My dog loved it there. Thank you for giving Luna a great experience.“

“Very reliable and reasonable. Family owned and operated business. I have special attention/requirements for my dogs & property. Whether it be Brandon or Anthony that comes out, my services are always done to satisfaction. If service is ever interrupted for whatever reason, they are transparent and informative on why and prompt with rescheduling. I highly recommend Chicago Dog Services and your pets will too.“

“We love Dr.Adam Deeke he always is very informative and shows genuine affection to my pup Romeo.“

“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 ??“

“It is understatement when I say my dog always ends up looking happier and more confident after boarding with Paws in Paradise. I've left my dog there for a week at a time a few times and she comes out with a glow. My dog, Sweety has separation anxiety and is very supported by the staff (as she LOVES to get in between their legs lol). It is great they have strict requirements for vaccines and a negative fecal test which gives me more reassurance that she won't get sick. It's good she gets to meet other dogs there too as they have plenty of play time and socializing. The staff are very in tune with each pet and tailor the way they go about interacting with them too which is great to know it isn't a one size fits all. It really looks like they try to understand every dog that comes through their doors to really specialize their experience. Highly recommend. If price is a concern, I'd go bulk and get the 10 day package since you pay much less per visit and it's good to have for weekend/week long trips in which you know you'll be using it up for the year.“

“They took very good care of senior special needs girl. They made sure she got her meds and updated me w/ pics and texts on how she was doing. Very happy w/ Cedar Lane!“

“Kerry was so wonderful and so patient with us and our french bulldog! He was having accidents and his door-manners were terrible (jumping all over our guests) and since getting onto the e-collar he's been a lot more obedient. Kerry even came to our home after his 2-week stay to help with the transition and has made herself readily available whenever needed. She is an expert and we are so appreciative!!“

“Dr Gil and Char make a great team. They were able to squeeze me in on a Saturday morning. Char was great over the phone and warm and welcoming once we arrived. 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.“

“Everyone at Wheaton Animal Hospital was outstanding! Very efficient, and VERY kind! I will continue to bring my pets here!“

“We A relatively new to this practice and we’ve been nothing but pleased and impressed with the service and care they give our two dogs. Thank you so much.“

“Great company, nice facility, owner/trainer knowledgeable & eager to teach you & your dog. Highly Recommend!!“

“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!“

“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.“
