Make a Splash at our Dog Daycare!
Dive into a whole new level of fun and fitness at Pampered Pets with our exclusive, indoor saltwater pool! As the only dog daycare in the northern Chicago area with an in-ground heated pool designed just for dogs, we’re thrilled to offer this unique experience to our guests. Meticulously maintained and carefully monitored, our upgraded pool provides a safe, enriching space for dogs to swim and enjoy the water, regardless of the season or weather.
It's Great Exercise!
Swimming is a fantastic, low-impact exercise that benefits dogs of all ages and sizes. The natural resistance of the water helps build muscle strength, supports joint health, and provides cardiovascular conditioning—all without putting stress on bones and joints. For dogs with extra energy, a love for water, or a need for low-impact exercise, swimming is a perfect outlet. Plus, the warm, saltwater environment is gentle on their skin and coat, providing a more soothing and refreshing experience than traditional chlorinated pools.
Fun for All Experience Levels
Many dogs naturally love the water, and for those who are new to it, our experienced staff gently introduces them, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Whether your dog is a seasoned swimmer or just getting their paws wet, our team is here to make sure every splash is safe, fun, and tailored to their comfort level. Group and individual swim sessions are available!
Year-Round Swimming in a Heated Pool
Our indoor pool is heated for year-round enjoyment, giving dogs a warm, inviting place to enjoy the water regardless of time of year. Regular swim sessions are a great way to mix up their play routine, adding an extra layer of excitement and enrichment to their dog daycare experience.
Benefits of Dog Daycare- A Healthier, Happier Life
Dog daycare at Pampered Pets provides more than just a safe play space for your furry friend– it offers essential mental, physical, and social benefits that contribute to a well-rounded, happy, and healthy pet. Here’s why dog daycare is one of the best ways you can enrich your dog’s life.
Essential Socialization
For many dogs, socializing with their own kind is crucial to their happiness and wellbeing, and our dog daycare offers a supervised space where they can interact with other dogs and people in a positive way. Through group play, they learn to understand social cues, improve their behavior, and build confidence—while satisfying their natural instinct to socialize. In a controlled environment with trained staff, dogs can safely explore different social interactions, which contributes to a happier, more balanced pet!
Physical Exercise for Health and Happiness
Dogs are naturally energetic and need plenty of exercise to stay healthy and content. At dog daycare, they’re engaged in play sessions that get them moving, running, and having fun. Regular physical activity helps maintain a healthy weight, supports cardiovascular health, and channels their energy productively, promoting overall wellbeing and a longer life. Most pet parents don’t have enough free time to ensure their pup gets the ideal amount of exercise on a regular basis—and that’s where we come in.
Mental Engagement to Prevent Boredom
A well-stimulated mind is as essential for dogs as it is for humans. In our dog daycare program, dogs engage in mentally stimulating activities that help keep their minds sharp. From interactive games to free play and swimming sessions, we keep dogs mentally fulfilled and entertained.
Reduces Challenging Behaviors
A bored or under-stimulated dog can easily turn to destructive habits at home, like chewing furniture, digging, or even shredding your favorite shoes. By providing a structured day filled with exercise, socialization, and mental engagement, dog daycare curbs these habits by ensuring dogs are active and fulfilled. Pups who enjoy their days at doggie daycare are less likely to take out their pent-up energy on your belongings!
Better Than a Pet Sitter
Dog daycare is a safer and more enriching option than a pet sitter and preserves your privacy. At our pet resort, dogs are supervised by trained professionals who understand canine behavior and can ensure each dog’s safety. The carefully chosen playgroups, safe and clean facility, and high level of accountability create an environment that keeps dogs (and your peace of mind) protected. No need to hand over the keys to your house!
