We appreciated their transparency and quickness in dealing with our procedure. - Our pup had a foxtail stuck in his ear drum :/. Not a con, just a note: It's pretty pricey, but the price difference is probably because we came in for an emergency and also they're the only vet in Big Bear open on the weekend so hard to put a value ratio on it. Just make sure you have insurance or you'll be paying a pretty penny for their services. For reference the initial check up was $180 (not including the procedure we had to do afterwards) vs our normal vet visit is $75.

We sent our dogs, Saint…read more(6-year-old Rottweiler) and Noah (3-year-old German Shepherd), through their 4-week off-leash/advanced training program, and WOW--what a transformation! Noah was a bundle of chaos, and Saint was well-behaved but needed some fine-tuning. After the training, they're both so much more responsive, well-behaved, and just easier to handle--especially with our 1-year-old baby around. Their confidence and obedience skyrocketed, and we've never felt closer to them. Plus, we learned how to keep up the training at home, which was super helpful! Never thought I'd be able to walk these big boys off leash and have them heel at my side. Bella and Fernando were professional, patient, and clearly love what they do. They kept us in the loop and gave us the tools we needed for success. If you're considering training, DO IT--you won't regret it!

My German Shorthaired Pointer was known to jump fences and couldn't be trusted off leash. After a board and train with Fernando, my dog made incredible improvements. she now walks with me in town and is great on and off leash. I couldn't have imagined a better outcome! I've boarded my dog easily over a dozen times, and they make pick up & drop off so easy. Whether it's an overnight stay or two weeks, I feel comfortable knowing my dog is safe with Guiding Pets & Parents. Traveling without my dog can be so tough, but it makes me feel better when she's SO excited to see Fernando & Bella, sometimes she doesn't even look back at me. I definitely recommend!

Jenny Shelton was told that my mother's terrier must be inside and has never been outside alone (the dog is 7ish lbs and this named "Tiny". Jenny Shelton left Tiny alone in her home loose along with a husky and an accessible doggie door leading to the outside in big bear California, which is mountainous with many wild animals. When Jenny Shelton got back, the terrier was dead and mauled and outside. One can only assume it was the husky who killed Tiny because a wild animal would've carried him away. My mom is 85 years old, a widow, lives alone, and now has lost her little dog who was a support to her. She is heartbroken. Jenny only had the dog for one day before it was killed while under her care in her pet sitting business. Do not leave your animal at this facility.
