Canine Social Club - Chicago, Illinois

This place is amazing! The staff is so kind, sweet and knowledgeable. Anytime. Anytime my dog is there for the day. He comes home exhausted. And he has a great friends because of the plethora of dogs that they have there! I recommend it to anyone who's looking for daycare for their dogs.

Frankie, my one year old pup who had never been to daycare, had a great time at canine social club. It was quick and easy to get him signed up, drop off and pick up equally easy. And I got a message midday about how he was doing, with pictures! Definitely recommend.

Our dogs love coming here and it’s a great value. The staff all know our dogs and it seems like there is little turnover so it’s a lot of familiar faces for the owners and the dogs, which is nice. I also love that they have weekend daycare hours.

Unlike many others, as the Canine Social Club business has grown the experience has remained personal and loving. I recently brought my very anxious dog for daycare, and the staff there helped make him comfortable and provided updates throughout the day, including pictures!, and a thorough report of his day. The staff are genuinely happy to be there and treat pets and humans with care and respect.

My dog loves coming here! He has been coming to the Canine Club since he was a puppy to play. The staff is great and the facility is clean. I feel at ease leaving my dog knowing that he will taken care of and he will be having fun.

Been taking my boy to Canine Social Club for years. They always take such good care of Henry and do a great job every time. Today he got a little mowhawk.

We left our 6-month-old puppy at CSC for 9 days while we were out of the country, based on a recommendation. When we arrived, the lobby smelled, but I brushed it off—dogs are smelly. What threw me off was how someone just came out of the back, took our pup without a word, and disappeared. When we asked to see her again before leaving, the front desk guy said, “Sorry, people aren’t allowed back there because of the dogs.” It felt weird, like they were hiding something.

Since my dog needs a lot of grooming, I asked for a midweek brush-out and nail trim. They added it, apparently for free. We got photos once during the week—she looked happy. A few days later, we asked for more and got some the next day (right after her supposed brush-out). She still looked happy, but I know what my dog looks like after being brushed, and she definitely wasn’t. I doubt they did it.

When we picked her up, they casually mentioned she had bad diarrhea toward the end of her stay, saying, “She must’ve gotten into something,” but gave no details. The next day, I texted the owner asking when it started—he just said, “Saturday the 15th. Hope she feels better soon!” It’s been five days, and her appetite and stool still aren’t normal, so now we have to take her to the vet.

When I brushed her at home, I found tons of mats in her fur, tangles everywhere, and dried poop stuck to her. She’s been dragging her butt on the floor, and no matter what we do, we can’t get the mess off. Now, on top of the vet visit, we have to rush her to the groomer. To make things worse, she’s regressed in potty training. I’ve since read reviews saying they let dogs go to the bathroom indoors—suddenly, it all makes sense.

My pup seemed to have fun and make friends, but the lack of cleanliness, transparency, and proper care means we won’t be coming back—not even for daycare.

We have brought our puppy here over 15 times, and have never had a bad experience. So many of the workers know our boy by name and love seeing him.
It’s affordable and flexible for daycare and I definitely recommend it.

That being said, this place does not smell very good. Every time we pick up our dog, we have to give him a bath because of how bad he smells. He stinks up the whole car on the way home too. Just be aware that while your dog will likely LOVE this place, you will not love the smell.
