Good to Know
January 10th, 2012
If you're a dog or cat owner in the Chicagoland area, you need to know about Chicago Canine Concierge.
It's Chicago's one-stop resource connecting busy pet owners with the top service providers in town (city and suburbs).
From dogwalkers to boarding facilities to the best places to get organic dog food...this is where you'll find exactly what you need for your pet.
Check out their Local Spotlights for special CCC offers. They also feature different organizations each month that "give back" to the local pet community.
