Zen Dogs Daycare

The Zen Dogs Chicago Team carefully monitors each play group and knows each dog individually. We strive to make our dog daycare program safe and fun for all of our pack members. Nap time is equally as important as play time, so each dog takes (2-3) 1 hour naps inside each day. All dogs are assigned their own kennel, with a comfy bed for a peaceful rest.
We believe dog daycare should be a consistent part of your dog’s routine, so that your dog can build meaningful bonds with our trainers and other members of the Pack. Steady, regular exercise means your dog will never be over-stimulated or over-tired at the end of the day. Our minimum attendance policy is designed to ensure a positive experience for everyone. We manage our dog daycare program carefully, promoting desired, healthy behavior here and for your home.
Delivery Service Available.
We offer our great puppy bus service free of charge to full time monthly members. Our service areas include: West Loop, Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, River North and River West. Please contact us for more information.Ask about our baths and blowouts!

Testimonials
Zen Dogs saved my foster dog's life. He came from the streets of Chicago and had few social skills.He was reactive on a leash and very difficult to walk. He had been kicked out of a couple of foster homes and had no place to go. Cynthia was my only hope.She and her staff did an amazing job rehabbing his behavior. He was eventually adopted!
Lauren RhoneFCACC Foster
Cynthia and Zen Dogs have been fostering malamutes for us for over a year now, and we cannot say enough good things about them! The facility is fabulous, the employees are smart and dog savvy, and Cynthia is top notch. I would highly recommend Zen Dogs for boarding, training, or just a fun doggie daycare experience for dogs of any breed.

Executive Director
I've known Cynthia Russell for years. Zen Dogs is a reflection of her long track record of
knowledge and skills in training and caring for all the dogs who call Zen their home
away from home. It's easy to honestly recommend their services, simply because of the
expert care and the incredibly "zen" environment found there.
