. . . So says the Chicago Tribune!

We are RE-OPEN for business as of May 1, 2020! Daycare and Taxi Service resume June 1! 

We have instituted strict sanitation protocols and are providing PPE's for all staff. Clients will not be admitted into the shop, and there is a double-gated outside pen for dogs to be dropped off.

CURB DROP OFF INSTRUCTIONS: Wear a mask. Place your dog inside the second gated pen out front. Carefully step through each gate, closing it behind you, then REMOVE ALL collars and leashes and close your dog inside the inner pen. Close both gates one at a time as you exit, to ensure no escapes.

Daycare dogs must leave a collar on, but take their leashes.

YOU SHOULD BE MASKED when leaving your home - please do not come to Love Fur Dogs without being masked.

ALL CLIENTS are to CALL the shop during business hours (847-LUV-DOGS) to schedule ALL appointments. Daycare will be strictly limited to ten dogs a day, so call ahead for reservations. 

Please do not bring your dog if you or anyone in your home are sick or have been exposed to the virus. Everyone is relying on everyone else now to "self-police" and self-quarantine to reduce spread of the virus.

We have purchased enhanced UV light tool disinfection equipment, and will be carefully disinfecting every surface all day long.

ALL GROOMING INSTRUCTIONS and PAYMENT will take place over the phone (calling 847-LUV-DOGS) and electronically. No cash or checks will be taken - only credit card payments via your card on file.

We are instituting a temporary 10% pandemic surcharge on top of the basic grooming price for all groom clients to help keep our business open financially at a time where our ability to work the volume of dogs we previously had are compromised by these new protocols. We are sorry to have to do this, but if we do not, we will go bankrupt, and we know our clients support our staying open! Once these spaced out protocols that limit our income are no longer necessary, the surcharge will be ended. We have been grateful that everyone supports and understands our tenuous circumstances in re-opening under these conditions.

We highly recommend our microbubble treatments for the DEEPEST POSSIBLE CLEANING of any dog or cat!

If you have questions about COVID-19 and your pets, we urge you to seek out reliable scientific sources of official information such as www.cdc.gov, www.WHO.int, and the World Small Animal Veterinary Association www.wsava.org for more information on the virus.

AND WATCH OUT! THE SKUNKS ARE BACK! And with all professional pet groomers closed, you want to take extra care to PREVENT a skunk hit on your family dog. See the BLOG section of this website for more on preventing and treating skunk attacks on dogs.
