Need a place to play?

It's Saturday, and it's snowing again. Your pups really want to go out, but the idea of dealing with wet dogs and freezing temperatures is more than you want to contemplate. Luckily, there is an indoor solution to your dilemma.

The answer is Saturday open gym at Ruff & Ready in Schaumburg. Every Saturday from 9 - 12 Ruff & Ready offers an open playtime for dogs. They provide space, toys and water, you provide the dogs.

This is a great way for pooches to get much needed socialization and for their owners to have some interaction with other local dog owners. Best of all, it is inexpensive. At only $5 an hour, the price can't be beat.

Ruff & Ready does ask that you bring current shot records for your dogs. You are also asked to stay while your dog plays. You get to meet potential new friends and your dog comes home ready to snooze while you get other things done.

The good people at Ruff & Ready also offer much more than a Saturday playtime. They also offer doggy day care, boarding, training and nutritional supplies. And if you are looking for a local supplier of Evanger's dog foods, this is the place to go. You can always pick up a snack for Fido to enjoy after playtime - give the Moo-Taffy a try, it is sure to be gobbled up in no time at all.
