Springing Into Construction
🚧 March Updates from the Zoomies pack 🌷 Another month in the books… and somehow, it’s already spring? Good Dog! I’ll tell ya, the first ~18 months of this project were a slow burn, but ever since the start of the year it really feels like we’re cooking with gas. I can’t blink, because if I do, suddenly it’ll be opening day. Which, by the way, we’re still tracking toward later this summer. Exact date is TBD, but we’re making real and tangible progress every single week.

My Discounts Bring All the Dogs to the Yard
We're opening this summer. And right now, you can become a member at the lowest prices we'll ever offer. Zoomies is a 24,000 square foot indoor dog park, bar, and café — a place where your dog runs free in a monitored play space while you grab a drink, meet other dog people, and actually relax. We've been building toward this moment for a long time. And before we open the doors, we wanted to give you — our early community — first access to memberships at prices that will ne

Oh, the Weather Outside Is Frightful; an Indoor Dog Park Would Be Delightful
⛄❄️December Updates from the Zoomies Pack 🎄🎁 This holiday season has been absolutely stuffed to the brim with goodies for Zoomies and if our progress could fit in a stocking, it'd probably break the mantle. December brought wins that have been in the works for months (or years, depending on who's counting), and now we're snowplowing our way into the new year! We Love Our City Officials ⚖️ It started off with the liquor moratorium being formally lifted by the city's lice

It’s Dark Outside, but Our Future is Bright 😎
Big announcements below you won't want to miss - but first, let's set the scene... It’s officially the time of year I dread most: the end of daylight savings 😩 There is simply no way we’re already at the point in the year when it’s dark out at 4:30p – It’s too soon! Like a werewolf succumbs to the full moon, by late afternoon I too transform into a blanket-swaddled goblin. Wedged between two couch cushions, muttering about a fabled sun that once graced us when I was but a

🌷🌻🌺 May Updates from the Zoomies Pack 🏵️🪻🌼 Hey friends! Is everyone freaking pumped for the sun and warm weather? I know I am! It is funny though how quickly it goes from being too cold to almost too hot. Just yesterday I took Ruby and Lily on a walk and was SWEATING HEAVILY within 5 minutes. TMI? Moving on! Earlier this month, I flew to Vegas to attend the Pet Boarding and Daycare Expo—a national conference for people building businesses in the pet services world. It

Zooming Into February!
💗 Updates from the Zoomies Pack 🐕 The holidays are officially over, and winter is… well, doing winter things. How did your pups handle the polar vortex? We survived with lots of “enrichment” activities (translation: trying to keep the dogs from losing their minds indoors). Cabin fever was real. But hey, we made it through—and now we’ve entered the slightly less cold, but infinitely muddier phase of Chicago winter. Hooray! Okay, enough about the weather—let’s talk Zoomies.
