Our Objective

Our objective is for people to be "Dog Parents" and include their companion animals as family members. We want you to want to take care of your eternal three year old through his old age. Your dog needs you and depends on you for everything. You are their world and their whole life revolves around you.

It is your responsibility to provide acceptable shelter, preferably in the house, along with nutritious food and daily exercise. You have to make sure that your child with fur receives all the essential healthcare and necessary grooming to keep him healthy and looking good.

We also want to make parents aware of the vast number of superb businesses in Chicago that cater to your best friend. We want to promote the establishments that take the extra step in providing superior products and services to ensure your pet lives longer and stays healthy.

In return, you will be showered with the most incredible love, adoration and devotion that you can imagine from a dog. Your dog, your family, your life!

Our Niche

Our niche is for people who consider themselves "Dog People." Today's dog parents tend to recognize their beloved pet as a member of the family, and often want the same sort of services for their dog that they would demand for their children. Dogs are family. They're pseudo-children, and just like children there are expenses that come with being a responsible, exceptional dog parent.

Dog Parents want to make sure their child with fur has a balanced and full life enriched with all the deserving amenities money can buy. Dogs go to the best daycare, have personal exercise instructors, and are coached by the finest trainers. They indulge in tantalizing treatments at the spa and get waited on foot and paw by benevolent groomers. Their days are scheduled around massage therapy, acupuncture and chiropractic appointments deemed as necessary. There are play dates, sleepovers and outings to the dog parks. And what dog would dare eat sub-standard commercial dog food? Only the freshest, natural, organic cuisine is desired by these cosseted substitute children.

It is the epitome of euphoria for Dog Parents to know that when you have a happy dog, your life is indeed good!
