Zen Dogs Chicago

JBS Super 5 months ago

They are really wonderful. My 2 dogs were excited to be dropped off every day and they came home exhausted. Staff sent pictures every day. My younger dog went to the puppy college program and beyond. I board them there every time I go out of town and both locations are their "home away from home." Great service!

After about 9 months of being with Zen dogs, I think it's about time that I share the love. This daycare is the best best thing I could've asked for for my 1.5 year old dog Enoki! I can tell through her expressions in all of the photos shared by the Zen Dogs team and her reactions when I drop her off every day (I go 5 days/week) that she adores being there. She comes home super tuckered out and has developed fantastic social skills with all dogs large and small. I also greatly appreciate how much all of the staff truly care and love all of the dogs. Around when I first got Eno, she suffered from a pelvic fracture and I informed the daycare staff of this injury when we first joined. During one of my earlier training sessions with her and a staff member 1:1, I found out that he had been giving her some PT stretches and massages throughout the day whenever she approaches him. He demonstrated them to me so that I could also perform them at home to improve her mobility and she seemed completely unfazed! Along with this, I was able to walk through their rest area and see for myself the kinds of kennels the dogs stay in during their naps. I prefer the concept of rotations of play and res

I’ve been taking my mini golden doodle (Luna) to Zen since I rescued her around 5 months old. When I rescued Luna, she had bad separation anxiety. The Zen team was absolutely incredible working with her and allowing her to bloom and thrive! The Zen team was always available for training and nutrition consultations. The team is absolutely incredible and every dog owner should consider sending their pup here!! My dog is truly happiest when she’s at Zen! We sadly had to relocate to Austin, TX and were so sad to leave the pack. I’ve interviewed and toured many daycare facilities in Austin and none compare to Zen! You won’t be disappointed with the team and this facility!

This post is LONG OVERDUE. If you're thinking about ZenDogs for your dog, let me tell you: don't wait another second, just go!! ZenDogs has been the BIGGEST blessing for my dog, Mattie, and me. Mattie started going to ZenDogs in June 2023, and honestly my only regret is that I wish we'd found them sooner. They're the nicest, most caring dog daycare in Chicago, hands down. Everyone there, Cynthia the owner and the whole ZenDogs crew, truly understand dogs and love them like their own. Every person working at ZenDogs is educated and knowledgable about dogs, which means Mattie is always in good hands. Since she's been going there, I've never seen her happier. ZenDogs has the best, holistic approach where dogs get to take breaks throughout the day, so they actually learn how to self regulate and are not just running around non-stop all day. I also really appreciated that before Mattie could join the pack, she had to do a meet and greet to make sure she'd fit in okay and ensure she was ready for this daycare family. Other dog daycares that Mattie had gone to prior to ZenDogs didn't require any meet and greet, which ended in Mattie coming home injured several times, due to aggressive/re

I truly can't say enough good things about Zen dogs. The facility is fantastic and the staff is incredible — a super kind group of dog lovers. It was clear to me from day one that they genuinely care about each and every dog that attends. When I started bringing my dog four months ago she was painfully shy with major separation anxiety. Now she's a social butterfly who practically jumps out of the car when I pull up to Zen dogs. It's really a joy to drop her off each day; I couldn't recommend it more!
