Working with and caring for your pets and giving them personal attention is a way of life for us. We are also long-time breeders of champion show dogs. Our own pets and show dogs utilize the same sparkling clean facilities offered to the public. We are the home of Dogwood Acres Akitas. One of our dogs, Ch. Dogwood Acres American Sumo, who was bred and raised at Dal Acres East, was ranked by the American Kennel Club as the #4 Akita in the nation in 2004. See "Akita Photos" link below.
Each dog has a private, 56 sq. ft. enclosure with radiant heat in the floor in winter and central air conditioning in the summer that is SAFE, SANITARY and COMFORTABLE. Pets are handled by caring, experienced staff and kennel owners' family. Many of the pets who board with us are repeat visitors who are happy and comfortable with our kennel staff, and are a testimony to the loving, personal care they receive at Dal Acres West. Visitors are welcome at any time during business hours without an appointment to tour the facility. Drop by for a visit at your convenience!!
The Cattery is well separated from the dog boarding area and provides roomy, safe, comfortable space for each cat. Our own family's cats often spend quality time in our cat room. We are cat lovers and believe in our "Kitty guests" receiving lots of personal attention. We are able to provide medication and insulin injections for those feline friends who need them.
At pet owner's option, INDIVIDUALIZED Playtime is available for both dogs and cats in 15 minute segments. Dogs have a large, secure playtime area outside where one kennel technician devotes his entire attention to one dog unless owner requests pets from the same family have Playtime together. This insures your pet's safety and enjoyment.
Cats are allowed supervised freedom of the entire cattery, one at a time, with the undivided attention of a staff person, to play, cuddle, be brushed, or to enjoy other personalized activities.
Daycare is available for both dogs and cats, with or without Optional Playtime, at a VERY REASONABLE cost offering a safe, stimulating and affordable option for pets that do not do well being left home alone during the day.

We are very concerned with cleanliness and sanitation in addition to the emotional well-being of the pets entrusted to our care. So that you can feel comfortable knowing your pet will not be exposed to disease while at our facilities:
ALL DOGS are required to be current on Distemper/Parvo, Rabies and Bordatella
ALL CATS must be current on Feline Distemper and we recommend but do not require Rabies vaccinations for cats.
Pets are inspected for fleas and treated if needed before entering kennel or cattery.
The kennel and cattery are scrubbed daily and disinfected with a hospital grade disinfectant and bleach and are kept fresh and clean. We are inspected regularly by the Illinois Department of Agriculture and always pass with flying colors as our cleanliness standards far exceed their expectations.
