And many property managers are going beyond being just pet friendly, and are offering amenities for the pets themselves. First came the dog runs. Then came the pet washing stations. Some communities even offer doggie day care and spa features for Fido. And residents are lapping it up!<\/p>\n<p>In Chicago, Related Midwest\u2019s new community 500 Lake Shore Drive is offering something special for residents who are pet owners. The company is offering an on-site pet service called Dog City, which offers a variety of services for these pampered pooches, such as dog walking, pet sitting, grooming, nutritional counseling, delivery of custom pet meals, vet visits and training services. There\u2019s even a service for \u201cpaw-dicures.\u201d And dogs aren\u2019t the only ones who can get in on the action\u2014the \u201cpaw-dicure\u201d service is also available for cats.<\/p>\n<p>These services makes it easier for residents who might work long hours or who are going away and don\u2019t have anyone to take care of their dogs in their absence.<\/p>\n<p>Several of the services offered are at an additional fee, but there are also some \u201cself service\u201d areas of Dog City where residents can use the pet grooming equipment and towel services. Sounds like the purr-fect amenity for pet lovers.<\/p>\n<p><em>Jessica Fiur is News Editor at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.multihousingnews.com\/\">Multi-Housing News.<\/a><\/em> <em>Find more of her insights on multifamily living on the \u201c<a title=\"What Renters Want\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.multihousingnews.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What Renters Want<\/a>\u201d blog.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pet-friendly buildings are currently the cat\u2019s meow (or the dog\u2019s wagging tail, as it were)\u2014and this trend doesn\u2019t seem to be waning any time soon.
