Everyone's dog is their "baby" and leaving them with a stranger can be so stressful ... but when a situation comes up that makes it necessary to leave your pet for an overnight, THIS IS THE PLACE! We had to leave our little Charlie Brown for NINE NIGHTS for our wedding and honeymoon, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! First, this place is immaculate ... no doggy smells when you walk in the door and chances are, a couple little fur-babies will greet you when you walk in. Their play areas are huge, and there's a lot of running, playing, and personal interaction going on. Kim and Ed truly love taking care of your best friends, and be assured they will be treated very well. My favorite benefit of leaving Charlie here was the daily pictures and videos they post daily ... we could check in to see just how much fun Charlie was having with all his new buddies. When we picked him up, he was happy, tired, and looked great. Go check out Canine Connections, talk to Kim and Ed, and I think you will be confident after just a few minutes that this is the place for your dog's next vacation.

I have two nervous dogs that historically have a lot of stress when it comes to boarding, one of…read morewhom has a severe heart murmur. They just got back from their 5-night stay at OBKC, and I couldn't be happier. Because it's a smaller facility, OBKC's staff has more time to devote to each individual dog, which made me feel much more confident in leaving them there, especially with my older pup's health issues. The consistent routine each day, individual playtimes with staff, and constant access to clean, climate-controlled space and fresh water clearly kept my girls happy during their stay! You also have an option to spoil your pup with little frozen treats, and proceeds go to local charities. I received updates (with beautiful photos!) whenever I asked, and they took extra precautions to keep my older dog safe and comfortable. The pricing is very reasonable compared to other facilities, especially considering the personalized care. They came back to me clean and happy. One was even more excited to play with the staff on her way out than she was to see me! Scout and Cherry say thank you so much for taking such good care of them.

I had to leave out of town last minute so I called around near me to no luck. I contacted OKC on a…read moreTuesday, with a quick response and clear communication; they were able to accommodate my two pups by that Friday until the following Thurs. not many places will let you bring their own toys/belongings but I think it helped them be close to home while being so far away. I was able to email/text with the staff daily for updates and seeing happy pics of my pups means I found a great place! Thanks again to the staff for taking care of my fur babies

Sabrielle and her staff truly understand and care about dogs. I have a very special little dog who…read moreneeds a lot of training and attention to help overcome her behavioral challenges and they not only understood what to do immediately, we've been making steady progress since we first met everyone. The convenient Wheaton location of the facility is great for daycare and they also allow for half-day daycare too. Very flexible scheduling. When I pick my dog up, I can tell that she's received personalized attention from the staff and that she has been well cared for. Often she's been able to work one-on-one with a staff member for nearly all of her half-day session. We also attend the group classes which are incredibly unique and let my dog build up practice interacting with other dogs in a way that reinforce new, good behaviors. My neighbors are thrilled with the progress almost as much as I am - my dog no longer automatically barks at everyone outside now and is able to make new friends. The in home training we did originally was incredibly valuable to get us started on the right foot. We need to do that again very soon! Is it the least expensive daycare and/or training in the area? No. But it is ABSOLUTELY worth it. When I leave my dog in the care of The Canine's Voice I know that she's going to be safe, loved, and will learn a few things while she's there. The classes are incredibly valuable too. The results speak for themselves.

We've only ever rescued older herding dogs, so we decided to get a 10-11mo…read more.. Sabrielle helped us greatly in the process giving us tools to tame the little maniac. She had plenty of tips and techniques and it was nice having her visit the home for the sessions to see how he is in that environment. After several mixed purpose sessions I feel like we're on the path to success, maybe. We hope .

The first day we went to thinking he had worms, right away we came in and they took samples. Turned out it was a false alarm. This time we went to get his neutered procedure. I couldn't be happier with my choice. The staff kept me updated throughout all times and they made the procedure very simple, informative and helpful. I didn't feel any pressure or stress with anything. I felt very comfortable, confident and appreciated. Everyone has their own experiences and all I can say is from the amounts of times I've been there, these two recent events I can say nothing but great things. Do your research before you commit in any location. What fits me and my furry friend may not be for everyone. I am sharing this because I do see many share negative opinions and I want to share with everyone my point of view and hopes that many furry friends can join the community.

I'm compelled to leave a review after my experience at this location today…read more To start, my family has five pets enrolled in Paw Plans with Elmhurst Animal Care Center. For just our three cats, we're paying over $270 per month, not including our dogs. We have invested a significant amount of money in this practice because we trusted our pets would receive timely and compassionate care. Over the weekend, my dachshund developed what was suspected to be a spinal disc injury, requiring an emergency veterinary visit. Because Elmhurst Animal Care Center recently changed its policy to weekday walk-ins only, we had no choice but to seek emergency care and pay a $1,500 emergency vet bill. Today, around 10:00 a.m., I came to the clinic for follow-up care. I explained my dog's condition to the front desk and was told there were three people ahead of me. To keep him as calm as possible and reduce the risk of further injury, I waited with him in the cat area, away from other dogs. After waiting an hour and a half, I checked back in and was told there were still two people ahead of me. By that point, every client who had been there before us had already left. There was only one other dog waiting, and several exam rooms appeared to be empty. I explained to the front desk employee (a Latino man wearing black glasses) that my dog had a possible spinal injury, was becoming increasingly overstimulated, and that I was concerned he would jump and worsen his condition. I simply asked whether we could wait in an exam room to help keep him calm. His response was that it was "not their policy." I understand that policies exist and that veterinary staff deal with emergencies every day. However, policies should never outweigh common sense or compassion when a patient has a suspected spinal injury. I wasn't asking to be seen ahead of anyone else--I was simply asking for a safer place to wait so my dog wouldn't risk further injury. As someone who pays hundreds of dollars every month for wellness plans and has entrusted five pets to this practice, I found the lack of empathy and flexibility incredibly disappointing. I expect a veterinary clinic to prioritize patient welfare, especially in situations where a simple accommodation could help prevent further harm. Today's experience left me feeling unsupported and questioning whether this is the level of care clients should expect. I will be considering taking my pets out of here after our contract runs out. I encourage everyone who took the time to read this to invest in places that invest in you and your pets.
