If you could choose to spend your entire day – everyday –with friends laughing, joking, hanging out, throwing a ball around – wouldn't you? Isn't that what you want for your dog while you're at work? A dog's life is a privileged life. They are some of the luckiest creatures on earth and we want to see to it that they know how much they're loved and appreciated. Bringing your little pal to spend his or her days at The Barking Lot Deerfield is a guarantee they'll be pampered, loved, exercised…and to your benefit, exhausted & happy by the time you pick them up.
Our brand new Deerfield location has been designed with your best friend in mind. With state-of-the art heating and air-conditioning systems, brand new matted floors in our three indoor play areas (to protect his/her paws), large 4 x 8 private spaces for your dog to enjoy during break time, and an outside play area with 5000 sq ft. to run & enjoy the fresh air. --The newest of our three facilities is nothing short of spectacular!
We, at The Barking Lot Deerfield believe in a structured play environment. . Upon arrival, your dog will be evaluated to ensure yours & other dog's safety and happiness. Dogs are given four to five hours of structured, supervised playtime with playmates of similar size and temperament in a controlled social environment. Your dog will play for 2 -2 ½ hours in the morning and will receive 2 – 2 ½ hours of playtime in the afternoon as well; Offering your pooch plenty of time to play with his/her friends.
When your furry friend is not playing with his buddies, he will have ample chill-out time in his respective private 4 x 8 kennel with plenty of water. Each dog is given one mid-day walk on leash in our 1000 sq. ft. run one at a time. If you should so desire, you may bring lunch for your dog, as we are happy to provide a meal for your dog during his downtime at no additional charge.
Let's not kid ourselves, if dogs don't have down time, they can get worn out, dehydrated and possibly hurt– not to mention needing a break to prevent grumpiness and aggressive behavior. We watch your dogs' activity to make sure they have fun and get exercise, but that they do it in a safe environment. Just as little kids need to take naps during the day to re-energize, dogs do too.
Solo Playtime:
We feel every dog deserves an opportunity to stay in luxury and enjoy the accommodations we provide. We also recognize that even the nonsocial dogs (and their parents) deserve a place to go while their parents are at work or have other plans for the day. Therefore, even if your dog doesn't enjoy playing with his furry friends, we will see to it that your dog will receive “solo” time with one of our qualified staff members. This can include playing fetch, running around for some exercise, or if you'd prefer, simply cuddle time.
