“McHenry County’s only indoor dog park features a beautiful koi pond and a large open play space for dogs and owners who want to have fun.
Riverside Animal Clinic & Holistic Center’s commitment to natural lifestyle management of dogs is the catalyst for the indoor dog park.  “The opportunity to provide all of a pet’s needs in one place is a long term goal for our practice,” said Dr. Jim Carlson, owner of Riverside Animal Clinic & Holistic Center. “Nearly every dog we see needs more exercise and more bonding time with their owner.  It naturally improves relationships.  Now, we have a dedicated space that enhances your bond with your pet through play.”
Harsh weather also makes exercising pets hazardous and difficult for owners.  Our climate controlled space offers a safe environment free of cold temperatures, wind and even summer heat and sun.
The park’s hours are 8:30AM – 5:00 PM.
The indoor dog park is one of many features at the new Healthy Pet Lifestyle Campus located at the corner of Highway 31 and 120 in McHenry.  Community members may recognize the 1112 Front Street location as the former Gary Lang Auto or Next Auto shop.  In addition to the American Adventure Indoor Dog Park, the campus is home to Riverside Animal Clinic & Holistic Center – a nationally renowned animal hospital featuring the care of holistic veterinarian Dr. Jim Carlson.  The holistic pet store at the Healthy Pet Lifestyle Campus earmarks the top veterinary and holistic diets, medications, herbal therapies, supplements and frozen products for dogs and cats.  The campus will also open the Zoom Zoom Room dog day care with daily swim opportunities, golf cart rides, training and enriching activities.
Our American Adventure theme is chosen by our team who are instrumental in developing our park obstacles.  The frontier theme is meant to be a fun look into the past and features an American inspired photo backdrop for pictures.
