The "Pandemic Puppy" phenomenon has certainly been a real "thing"! We have lots of wonderful NEW clients that we are so happy to help take proper care of their new family members. This wonderful news for the dogs and people of the world - finding and loving each other through a pandemic - but means also for us as a grooming business that much better planning may become necessary for our clients to get an appointment at a time convenient for them. We urge everyone to PLEASE CALL 847-LUV-DOGS (847-588-3647) to make an appointment as far in advance as possible - more than 3/4 of our clients book ahead for the whole year.

During this time of pandemic, we have instituted strict sanitation protocols and PPE's for all staff. We have purchased new UV-light tool cleaners, among other new innovative measures.
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.
We highly recommend our microbubble treatments for the DEEPEST POSSIBLE CLEANING of any dog or cat! It goes inside pores and follicles and should be considered an extremely valuable asset in your battle for a safe and clean home. We use our amazing Thera-Clean microbubble baths to treat a variety of skin and coat conditions where germs, viruses, fungi, old dead skin and hair pieces, dirt, allergens, etc., that are trapped down inside pores and follicles. Microbubbles will give your pet the cleanest clean of their lives. It is even the MOST effective approach to clean skunk smell from your dog. For more information on preventing and treating skunk attacks, see our BLOG section, linked above.
CALL the shop during business hours (847-LUV-DOGS) to schedule appointments.
Our wonderful All-Indoor Playcare generally has openings, but is limited in capacity, so calling ahead is recommended.
