Dog-Friendly Cruises Are the New Fun Summer Thing to Do in Illinois
Calling all dog lovers and their adventurous pups; ditch the ordinary walk in the park and set sail for an unforgettable experience on a dog-friendly boat cruise in Chicago this summer!
For the Love of Dogs
As the proud owner of three beloved dogs, I know there are a few things I can do to make my pups bark with joy;
- Go on a long walk
- Fill a rubber Kong with treats or give them an empty plastic water bottle to play with.
- Take them along on a boat ride.

If you have a dog that loves going on car rides primarily for the chance to stick their head out an open window to feel the wind on their fur, this unique Chicago boat cruise option is perfect for you both!
