4 Paws Playhouse is located at 15711 S. Cicero Ave., Oak Forest, IL. We have a 4,000 square foot building with a 2,000 square foot fenced in area outside for potty breaks and playing as weather permits.
At 4 Paws Playhouse, your dog will enjoy our clean, cageless facility featuring open playgroups, in a fun, safe and loving environment. Our facilities also provide overnight stay, an alternative to a traditional kennel. We have installed rubber flooring for the comfort of your pooches paws and joints. All daycare rooms can be viewed from the lobby for safety purposes.
With all the playing and romping around, we have set aside a nap time from 12:00 to 2:00 PM. This is quiet time and the doors are locked, the lights are dimmed and quiet music is played. Please respect this down time. No pick ups or drop offs will be made during this time.
4 Paws Playhouse is conveniently located next door to the Oak Forest Animal Clinic and the Oak Forest Metra Station.
4 Paws Playhouse requires an evaluation of all dogs prior to them attending Doggy Daycare or the Doggy Hotel. The evaluation is a review of all completed forms, verification of required vaccinations and an introduction between your dog and the others who spend the day here. There is a $20 one time fee which is non refundable. Once your dog is accepted, he is invited to come for Daycare or boarding at any time.
