-- Belle Aire Kennels, a family-run facility in Westmont that has served the DuPage County area for over 60 years, has opened its booking window for summer 2026. Demand during June, July, and August typically fills the kennel to capacity, and the facility is encouraging pet owners who need care for dogs with separation anxiety or noise sensitivities to reserve spaces early.

Dogs with separation anxiety or sound sensitivities can face heightened stress in traditional boarding environments, where communal settings and constant stimulation may worsen behavioral issues, explains Belle Aire Kennels. According to the facility, private-run setups tend to show better outcomes for anxious dogs compared to open-play boarding models — a distinction that becomes especially relevant during summer, when travel peaks and many pet owners need to leave their dogs in professional care.
Belle Aire Kennels addresses these challenges through a facility design built around indoor and outdoor runs, allowing each dog to move freely between climate-controlled interiors and private outdoor spaces. The kennel says this setup reduces overstimulation by avoiding the open, warehouse-style confinement common in larger boarding operations. Each dog stays in its own designated run throughout the stay.
As a licensed Illinois facility, Belle Aire Kennels operates in compliance with Illinois Department of Agriculture standards, which require climate-controlled interiors at a minimum of 50°F. The kennel maintains temperatures between 65°F and 85°F year-round. This is particularly relevant during July and August, when outdoor temperatures in the Westmont area can regularly exceed safe thresholds for extended canine exposure.
Belle Aire Kennels has operated at its current Westmont location since 1963, giving it one of the longest continuous operating histories among pet care facilities in the DuPage County area. The facility says its six decades of experience have shaped its approach to the behavioral needs of high-anxiety and noise-sensitive dogs.
