Cozy Canine Cottage Cozy Canine Cottage is a state-licensed, 24-hour dog-boarding facility that has been operating for 25-plus years in the community. We have 17 runs.

The 30x60 foot boarding structure is equipped with heating and air conditioning, as well as closed-circuit TV monitoring. Music is also played throughout the kennel day and night. Each run has its own doggie door for access to a private outside run. These doggie doors remain open day and night; the dogs are NEVER locked inside. 5 runs are 10x12 feet inside and 10x12 feet outside. 12 runs are 5x5 f

eet inside and 5x12 feet outside. The smaller 5x5 inside runs have the capability to open up to a 5x10 inside run for larger dogs. Dogs from the same family may be boarded together in the same run, if preferred. In addition to the individual outdoor runs, there is also a larger enclosed yard attached to the building. Each dog gets time to run and play in this large yard at least 2 to 3 times a day. We live on the property, and we are always here. There is no charge for administering medication. Anything dogs require at home will be given here at no charge. Milkbones are given 4 times a day. If you would like to bring your own treats, feel free; dogs eat their own food on their own home schedule!

***Pricing: $40 per dog, per day. Inquire within for rates for families with multiple dogs. Early pickup by 9:30 am will not be charged for the day. I will now require a 7-10 day cancellation notice, or full price of stay will be charged.

I had adopted her, but she refused to come with me. It was strange, because most dogs can’t wait to leave the kennel. She was crying and dragging her paws. I could have pulled her along… but when I looked down, I finally understood why. And in that moment, I had to make a choice.
When the time came to take her home, she was just stepping out of that cage. A whole new world, full of love and hope, was waiting for her. Any other dog would have run straight into the arms of their rescuer. But not her.
She stood frozen, paws firm on the ground, refusing to move. In the corner of the cage, a small Chihuahua named Taco looked up at her, terrified. She knew she was about to lose her best friend. 💔
And then… a small miracle happened. The couple who came to adopt her saw the whole scene. Without a second thought, they decided to adopt them both. They filled out the papers for the Chihuahua too, and all four walked out of the shelter together. 🐶🐶
Before they left, the dogs were lifted into the car, side by side, just as they were meant to be. I want to wish these two sweet souls a life full of love, peace, and joy. And above all, endless happiness to the wonderful people who gave them both a second chance. ❤️

PSA: Don’t feed your dogs rotisserie chicken.
I’ve done it many times thinking it was chicken and a good treat for my boys.
Well, Saturday night I mixed the chicken juices with some rice and gave it to my boys. They devoured it of course. That was about 6:30 pm. Around 11:30 pm one of my dogs was ringing the bell to go outside, when I got downstairs there was a giant pile of puke with all the rice and other food he had eaten. He was clearly not feeling good but I didn’t think too much about it. He was pretty unsettled in the morning but I was still thinking it was something that was going to pass.
I did a few things that day and came back around 3:00, it was clear that there was something very wrong now. He wouldn’t lay down, his back was now arching up, panting, kept trying to throw up. So we took him to urgent care. They took X-rays and gave him fluids and anti nausea meds which seemed to help. Looking at the X-ray the doctor was thinking pancreatitis sent us in our way while waiting for the radiologist to read the report. We got a call that the radiologist thought there was an obstruction. Well we now headed to the emergency vet. They gave him fluids and kept him comfortable until the ultrasound tech got there. Upon scanning they found no obstruction.
Gastroenteritis was the verdict. My boy has not eaten since Saturday night, and is in so my pain but I am hoping that we are turning a corner with the help of our vet giving fluids and anti nausea meds daily.
When our vet called yesterday he was concerned that maybe gastroenteritis wasn’t certain then my husband aid could this be because we gave him rotisserie chicken. The vet was like”yes!!!” Now that he knew that we gave him that he said he sees this like once a week. Apparently it’s the fat in the juices( we didn’t give them any skin).
Maybe some dogs tolerate it for sometime. Mine both have eaten this many times, and no issues. This time only one of my dogs got sick but he is sooooooo sick. It is heart breaking to watch and to know it was because I gave him the chicken.
The picture is of my boy Apollo at noon trying to tell me he didn’t feel good.
*** he died this morning. My heart is breaking into a million pieces.

Dog Poisoned by the Diffuser
Saturday night I got home late and my dog didn't recognize me. Being a nanny I thought I woke him up and he was having a night terror. Sunday, he was still acting weird. I realized that I had been running my new diffuser and decided to turn it off. Sunday afternoon, he was feeling better.
Today at work, my dog sitter said that he wouldn't come out from under the bed. It was very odd as he is a happy dog.
I came from work early and again, he was very confused about who I was.
So I took him to emergency vet.
It turns out that the tea tree oil I was using in the diffuser is toxic for dogs. Thankfully the test showed that his liver was ok but we weren't out of the woods yet. He was given fluids under his skin to get the toxins out.
The vet and the poison control are saying that they see these cases often now that the popularity of essential oil is growing.
Please make sure that the essential oils you are burning are not toxic for your pets.
Here is a list of essential oils not to use if you have a dog at home
Anise (Pimpinella anisum)
Birch (Betula)
Bitter Almond (Prunus dulcis)
Boldo (Peumus boldus)
Calamus (Acorus calamus)
Camphor (Cinnamomum camphora)
Cassia (Cassia fistula)
Chenopodium (Chenopodium album)
Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum)
Garlic (Allium sativum)
Goosefoot (Chenopodium murale)
Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana)
Hyssop (Hyssopus sp. with the exception of Decumbens)
Juniper (Juniperus sp. with the exception of Juniper Berry)
Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris)
Mustard (Brassica juncea)
Oregano (Origanum vulgare)
Pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium)
Red or White Thyme
Rue (Ruta graveolens)
Santolina (Santolina chamaecyparissus)
Sassafras (Sassafras albidum)
Savory (Satureja)
Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare)
Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia)
Terebinth (Pistacia palaestina)
Thuja (Thuja occidentalis)
Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens)
Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium)
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)

Everyone thought she was gone. A 3-year-old girl vanished just hours before historic floods slammed into Texas — but when rescuers finally found her, she wasn’t alone. Curled beside her, covered in mud and shaking, was a dog no one recognized. What this animal had done in the hours before the storm hit is now being called a miracle of instinct and loyalty — and the photos have the entire internet in tears. But the real twist? It wasn’t even her dog.👇👇👇...Read more: https://news.topnewsource.com/posts/everyone-thought-she-was-gone-a-3-year-old-girl-vanished-just-hours-before-historic-floods-slammed-into-texas-but-when-rescuers-finally-found-her-she-wasnt-alone-curled-beside-he-2-nhathung/

According to the American Animal Hospital Association, animal control officials across the country see a 30%-60% increase in lost pets each year between July 4th through the 6th. This week, we're offering $4 tags and free microchips at our shelter (you can visit our Adoption Center for tags or our Matteson Resource Center for tags/microchipping -- 21800 Central Avenue). Please stop by any time we are open. There are many other ways you can be proactive during the 4th of July with your pets! We'll post more resources soon 😊.
