About
Lake Forest Kennel Club, based in the US, specializes in premium pet care services, providing exceptional dog daycare, pet boarding, and grooming tailored to meet individual pet needs. Lake Forest Kennel Club operates as a pet care service provider, focusing on daycare, boarding, and grooming for dogs. Founded in 1970 in Lake Forest, US, the company was acquired on August 12, 2025, as part of a deal that included 16 other pet resorts, enhancing its operational capabilities and market reach. The founder's specific history is not detailed, and the company does not have known subsidiaries or parent companies.
Lake Forest Kennel Club offers a range of premium pet care services, including dog daycare, pet boarding, and grooming. Their daycare services are designed for both individualized attention and group interaction, ensuring an appropriate fit for each dog through a comprehensive evaluation. Grooming services include a premium package featuring bathing, ear cleaning, nail trimming, anal gland expression, and teeth brushing, aimed at maintaining pets' health and appearance. While primarily catering to the North Shore region, the company serves a broader geographical market to meet various pet owners' needs.
Lake Forest Kennel Club generates revenue through direct service transactions with pet owners for daycare, grooming, and boarding services. Clients can book appointments via phone or in-person visits, allowing for tailored service options. Grooming services are available as standalone offerings, while daycare and boarding include daily or extended stay pricing plans. This direct-to-consumer model fosters strong client relationships, ensuring high-quality care for pets.
Following its acquisition by Digs Dog Care in August 2025, Lake Forest Kennel Club aims to leverage the resources, brand strength, and operational expertise of its new parent company. This acquisition is expected to facilitate the scaling of its offerings and improve service quality, allowing for broader customer reach. Specific plans for future growth include the potential launch of new products and expansion into additional geographic markets, although details on the exact regions or product launches are not specified.
