Finding the right vet in Chicago can be a challenge. One visit to the offices of Dr. Jewell and you will know that you have made the right decision.

This facility is one of the cleanest veterinarian offices I have visited. The staff is very friendly and helpful, they greet my dogs with some love and enthusiasm which is a joy to experience.

A little bag of complementary treats keeps my dogs quite happy. The vet techs are the best, most caring group of people and Dr. Jewell is great, his care and concern for the animals shines through.

Chicago Real Estate Going To The Dogs!!!

As reported by Leslie Mann in a recent Tribune article http://tiny.cc/07ml1 many Chicago Buildings are going out of their way to put “friendly” into pet-friendly living. Most estimates have the percentage of pet households in the United States at 60%+, that equals a lot of people and a lot of pets. As a country, we spend $45 billion a year on our animals and that number is expected to rise by 5 percent this year, according to Fast Company magazine. It’s become a common site to see a large van wrapped in pet aimed advertisements parked in front of condo buildings to pick up and entertain our pouches while we’re gone for the day and to return them at the end of the day.

Dog care has become big business in Chicago. Some trainers are now specializing in working with specific behavioral problems and will come to your home to help with what ever the issue may be. Dog trainer Fran Barry of gofidogoodfido.com says that business is good due in part to the large number of households with dogs. She goes on to say that although people tend to treat their pets like children, dog owners don’t understand that a dog’s thinking processes are drastically different than humans however most dog’s behavior problems can be resolved with the help of a professional trainer.

Okay. When you live in Chicago you have to rely on a calendar to remind you what month you’re in. Yes, despite the fact that the thermometer outside reads 30 degrees, it is spring in Chicago. I thought I’d share a photo of my friends to cheer you up.
