Pine Lake Doggy Daycare & Development Center

Pine Lake Doggy Daycare & Development Center is a dog daycare and boarding facility at 1221 Independence Court in Washington, Illinois. Besides day play and overnight stays, it offers grooming, training and animal chiropractic in one place. The business describes itself as having a small, hometown feel, and its daily format fits that description, with supervised group play mixed with one-on-one attention.

What services does Pine Lake offer?

• Dog daycare with supervised group play and a midday nap built into the schedule
• Overnight dog boarding
• Grooming
• Training, including puppy classes
• Animal chiropractic adjustments

What sets it apart from other kennels?

Space is the big draw. The facility has 2 acres of large, fenced outdoor play yards, plus climate-controlled indoor play areas. Dogs can burn off energy outside and still have a comfortable place to play when the weather turns.

Pine Lake also takes the "development" part of its name seriously. It hosts development classes such as Paint your Pet, which owners and their dogs attend together. Chiropractic care is unusual for a daycare, and the business lists a certification in animal chiropractic.

On safety, the business is licensed, insured and bonded. Staff are trained in pet CPR and pet first aid, which matters when a lot of dogs are playing together.
