About this Experience
What you'll do:
A wellness experience that’s good for you — and even better for the dogs. Get ready for an hour of pure joy, laughter, and connection surrounded by a room full of gentle, loving Italian Greyhounds — the supermodels of the lap-dog world: sleek, sweet, and just a little dramatic. This isn’t your average outing — it’s a scientifically proven mood boost wrapped in fur, snuggles, and wagging tails. At CuddlePups, every visit is a win–win: you leave happier, and our dogs thrive on the gentle affection, socialization, and positive attention they receive from guests. Between sessions, the pups enjoy plenty of rest, cozy naps, and enrichment time — because their wellbeing always comes first. There's a reason we have hundreds of 5 star reviews!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is CuddlePups?
CuddlePups is Chicago’s first ticketed cuddle and play experience featuring a pack of gentle, socialized Italian Greyhounds. It’s a private, small-group wellness session—great for dates, families, or anyone in need of a serotonin boost after a long day. Our sessions are designed to be calm, cozy, and intentional. Guests enjoy scheduled time with the dogs in a peaceful environment, supported by professional pet caregivers who ensure the well-being of both humans and pups. CuddlePups is something entirely different. Our ticketed cuddle & play sessions are private, small-group events where the focus is on therapeutic, joyful connection with a bonded pack of Italian Greyhounds. Every moment is structured to keep the dogs relaxed and the guest experience special. Science backs up what we all feel instinctively: time with animals reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and increases feel-good hormones like serotonin. These pups are here to help people slow down, smile more, and feel better. Victoria’s pack of Italian Greyhounds is available with wholesome intent - to help people in need of more love and support in their lives. We also give back with regularly donated tickets to children’s hospitals, senior centers, and more.
