Pet Boarding Training near Villa Park

“Great care for your dog. I have been taking our dogs here for over ten years and always been amazed by the level of caring from the front desk staff all the way up to the doctors! I highly recommend them and would never go anywhere else!“

“I travel 40miles SPECIFICALLY for Danada Veterinary Hospital!

My family and I were loyal patients to a veterinary practice in Woodfield for 25+ years. Our 2yr old puppy got sick and our previous vet couldn’t find the answer - by no fault of their own. We had to bring our boy to multiple different vets and a few universities try to find answers to this “mystery” illness. The only good thing that came from that experience was finding Dr. Gunderson. She spent countless hours with us in the office, took late night phone calls to answer questions, and took her personal time to research answers. We will forever be thankful for her during that time.

Additionally, Dr. Wallach has been incredible. Our female corgi came down with acute pancreatitis last fall. Dr. Wallach got her in right away, made sure to see her next day for a follow up, and called me periodically over the next week to check-in on her.

Because of these two, I happily pack up my bunny and travel 50min for her check-ups and nail trims - now that i’ve moved out of my family home. I will always go out of my way for Danada as they continue to value special veterinarians like Dr. Gunderson and Dr. Wallach❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“River has been going to training and Doggie Care since January 2023. After completing her training she attends doggie care. She loves going to school. The staff is very knowledgeable and loving towards the dogs. River also gets her baths and nails trimmed with the groomers. Those are not her favorite days but thankful to the staff to get her clean and trimmed.
It’s great to have a doggie care close to home and I know that she’s taken care of when I’m at work. I love it that she can get her energy worn out at school especially in the hot summer days and cold winter days when it’s harder to take longer walks with her.“

“I found this establishment from a referral from my previous kennel because they were already booked up. Big mistake on their part because I will not be returning to that kennel. This is my new "go to" kennel. On short notice, I needed to leave for a week and CLK was able to get me in. I was able to do a walk through the facility prior to leaving Amber. Since this was Amber's first overnight, I was nervous. I don't like "first time stays" to be a week. I would rather have a single night "starter" but I didn't have time. The staff was very receptive to Amber's arrival and most importantly, they could wonderful care of Amber. She had a spacious kennel and free time that was not group play, but one-on-one with a staffer. Sweet! Per my request, I was sent an occasional photo of Amber. Yes, I am that over protect dog Mom. I am somewhat hesitant to share this hidden gem, but I have to admit I have shared this location with a couple of my dog friends. This is a winner!“

“We recently went to the Barker Shop in Willowbrook for the first time! Our Golden Retriever had never been truly groomed before and she turned out great! The groomer, (I believe Brena was her name), was extremely friendly, did an excellent job, and did exactly what we asked her to do! Our pup came out looking great and was the softest ever!!“

“Clean facility, everyone is so welcoming and answers any questions you may have . The groomer is truly amazing.“

“My experience with Dogtopia has been amazing and I really couldn’t ask for a better doggy daycare/hotel for my energetic, 2yr old Salem?

I was incredibly impressed on her first day,
throughout the assessment the team conducted to ensure she’d be a good fit, they included her interaction when being introduced to the pack and how she behaved when was sectioned off from play. The team even has motivational Monday (a little treat,which she loved!) It really gave me the confidence I didn’t realize I needed to trust the wonderful people who run the show.

The pictures/videos on their instagram is an added bonus. My pup literally jumps in excitement when we arrive and she’s always nice and tired by the time we pick her up. I highly recommend Dogtopia?“

“My incredibly stubborn, 1.5 year old 120-lb Bloodhound came to them with little to no training and a propensity for resource guarding and reactivity, and he came home from the Board and Train program a completely different dog, in the best way. They gave me and my dog the tools we need to avoid unwanted behaviors and I am truly amazed at the transformative level of obedience my dog now displays. A complete 180 from when he started. Cannot say enough good things about Aaron! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog training of all types.“

“I absolutely love this company! Both of my dog were trained here and they actually listen now. This company also watched my puppies for me and groomed them . Great Service . Highly Recommend 10/10.“

“Leslie has helped Penny so much! We worked on impulse control, loose leash walking, proper greetings, and much more. I now have a much better understanding on how to train and handle my dog. Penny has been so much happier since training - she knows what's expected of her & loves getting rewarded/praised & loves the mental stimulation! 10/10 recommend BFF Dog Academy.“

“Dr.Gill is awesome. He is an expert in his field. He has given care to my pets.He is able to give you a full diagnosis and the options available for my pets.Today He neutered my cat Melvin and handled Melvin very well. He runs a real animal hospital. If you want a no frills just great care this is the place to bring your pets. A true vetinarian,very skilled and knowledgeable. His staff, Ms. Karen and a newcomer Nurse are both very nice and also great animal handlers. Able to do as much as possible to help and assist Dr.Gill and pet owners. Thank you all at Broadview Animal hospital.“

“I have been using Paws in Paradise for many years. I currently have a 1 1/2 yr old dog. I never did daycare with my previous 2 dogs but started bring my puppy 1 year ago. They take really good care of teddy. Even after boarding him for a few days he did not smell. My husband even asked if he had a bath. I highly recommend“

“Oakton Animal has taken great care of our dog for the past 4 years. They have always been very patient with how reactive and anxious she can be. Both the doctors and the techs are friendly and helpful. We are unfortunately moving out of the area and will miss everyone at this practice!“

“I take my French bulldog to see Dr. Adam and can't recommend him enough. He always takes his time while visiting with us and explains everything thoroughly. I feel my pet is in great hands and that I am not being taken advantage of when it comes to paying the bill.“

“I have a 2.5 year old long haired GSD, and while he gets groomed every 3-4 months this was my first time at Central Bark. Liz, the groomer, was kind and friendly on the phone and answered all of my questions. She didn't judge when I said my pup was dog reactive, and was very understanding and told me how she would accommodate his needs. When I dropped him off I was able to call and make sure no dogs were in the lobby. Since it's a smaller place, it was much less stressful than our usual groomers. They said he did great! I just picked him up and he looks fantastic. So fluffy and perfect. The price was great too. I'm very happy to have found this place and I highly recommend. Thanks, Liz & Central Bark!“

“Got my new puppy Henry earlier this year, and as he grew, I really had to find a spot to let him meet new friends and expel some of his energy. He has been going twice a week for the past few months, and he gets so excited to go each week. There was one hiccup where he got bit by another dog, however it has to be understood that animals are unpredictable and these types of things can occur. In any case, the facility is clean and the staff is caring. I boarded him for six nights this past week due to being out of town, and his stay was awesome! I completely trust the staff and their love of dogs. They offer grooming/nail services and have a lot of fun special events for the doggies too. The web cams are great too! Highly recommended for daycare and boarding.“

“Mer Dr. Babler for the first time and we liked his approach with our dog, he took time to explain things.“

“Dr Iqbal and his team are great. They saved our puppy’s life. We are forever grateful!“

“We had a great experience! The facility is extremely clean and welcoming. I so appreciated that I didn't have to make an appointment, but could just walk in. We were ushered into a room right away, and seen by the doctor very soon. The vet was friendly with myself and my children and very gentle with my cat. We will look forward to our next appointment!
Now we have a dog and took her in to be spayed. They were so gentle with her, and I very much appreciated the cute letter they sent home, telling us about everything that happened, written from her perspective. I have no doubts she was incredibly well cared for!“

“Dr. Perez was the vet to my mother's cats for many years. During the pandemic he did house calls for her since she was going through cancer treatments. She sadly passed away in 2023 and I have taken over the care of her senior cats. Her 19 year cat had ongoing kidney disease and took a turn for the worse over the holidays. We knew it was time to end her suffering. She is a very fearful cat so we greatly appreciated that Dr Perez offers in home euthanasia. Dr Perez assured us we were making the right decision, and explained the process before and during. He and his assistant were both very comforting during this difficult time and we truly appreciated their compassion. Since then Dr. Perez has helped another of our senior cats with an acute allergy attack that ended up requiring medical intervention. Not only is Dr Perez's extremely intelligent and a great vet, he is a kind person, and the costs for his services I found very affordable. Thank you Dr Perez!“

“Staff is kind, helpful great with my cat. Quick and efficient. Easy to get in contact with and get files transferred to them. Highly recommend having your pets checked and cared for at this facility.“

“We have been taking our Huskies to Elmhurst Animal Care Center for years, and they always receive excellent care. From the front desk staff, to the techs, down to the veterinarians. We have taken them here for check ups/follow up cares, boarding, and training. Whenever we go on vacation, our dogs stay here for boarding. We can tell they’re having the best time from the pictures we receive from the boarding staff. It’s like our dogs are on their own vacation!
Dr Cudiamat is our go-to vet. He is professional, very kind, and very reassuring. He really cares for our dogs. Not to mention very patient, because our dogs tend to be very “hyper” and anxious in public. He answers all our questions and concerns.
We can’t say enough good things about him and the staff, especially when it came to the most difficult time of our lives when we had to say goodbye to our old man husky. The staff was very considerate. Dr Cudiamat did an amazing job at informing us of the “process.” We felt that they were all there for us during this time. And they even sent us a sympathy card showing their condolences. Which we appreciated.
So, thank you Elmhurst Animal Care Center!
Also, take your dogs to train with Derrick! He’s awesome!! You’ll definitely thank him and yourself for doing it. lol.“

“Dr. True is the absolute best! My 5year old husky 8 weeks ago had double ACL surgery and tore both her acl's and meniscus. We were so worried about her dr. True made me as an owner very comfortable and did an amazing job on both oh her knees! The whole treatment staff is always super kind and willing to answer any of my questions/ concerns! Highly recommend dr. True and his amazing staff. Especially tech names Chris! He is so sweet he was one of the only techs that could get my dog to lay still as she was traumatized and worried. Everyone is absolutely amazing will always go back to visit dr. True and the amazing staff!“

“My dog recently had a teeth cleaning procedure at Naperville Animal Hospital. The results were great, the staff were friendly & professional, and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend them!“
