Pet Boarding Training near Laguna Woods

“Our usual vet was temporarily closed, so we came here with our giant baby, and we were really happy with how much they were able to accommodate his… particular needs. They were so great about showing this 131 pound goober plenty of patience and love despite his freak outs. 12/10! Highly recommend!“

“So clean and happy in there! I love being able to check on my buddy at all times via video feed. He had such a good time with all the other dogs and I could see the energy all around was a healthy natural pace. The staff have a great handle on things. Plus, he was nice and clean when we picked him up. Seemed to be "smiling!" I'm excited to have a place I can trust with Bolt when we need it.“

“We worked with Cassie who was absolutely outstanding. Very punctual, supportive, and provided us with the right tools and mindset to help our dog succeed. I very highly recommend Clickstart.“

“I've been going to this clinic for a year with my senior kitties.

General info:
Appointment costs are reasonable if not a bit cheaper than surrounding clinics, which is great.
The clinic is busy, but they're always able to get you in for a sudden appointment if necessary, which I'm grateful for at times when my pets had concerning health issues arise. They always try to accommodate you. There are many vets at the clinic (I've met with at least 4-5), so you'll likely visit different vets each time unless your pet has a health issue, which means you'll see the same vet until it's resolved.
Everyone is friendly and lovely and you don't feel rushed when you have an appointment. *Note: We are the voice for our pets health, so still, make sure you ask all the questions and do whatever you need for your pet, including following up on results for tests, etc.
Because all these vets come from different backgrounds, at this clinic, I've experienced different consultations: vets with firm beliefs and who make immediate diagnoses and vets who advocate doing your own research (which i appreciate) and who consider any and all options before confirming anything. My experiences with most of the vets have been pleasant, but these differences naturally have us inclined toward favoring some vets at the practice more than others.

Personal story:
First, it was an annual exam, then it was my calico's unfortunate diagnosis of chronic kidney disease. Later, my tuxedo kitty was suffering from her mouth and because they didn't have any immediate dental care openings, they insisted upon her being checked by a dental specialist at a specialist clinic and we found she had terminal cancer. I'm grateful they did not make us wait. Her loss hurts us still to this day, but this clinic was very sweet in sending a card with their condolences.

Dr. E:
My calico got pancreatitis soon after that ordeal and she was seen by Dr. E, who is kind, very informative, and dare I say, our favorite vet at the practice. My calico was sent to an internal medicine doctor for specialist care, but despite this and some continued struggles, Dr. E was always thinking of ways to help when we needed it and always patiently answering and clarifying our many, many questions. Since working with Dr. E on maintainance care, our calico has gained weight and is doing very well, even when her chronic kidney disease has slightly progressed. What really helped her get out of lasting pancreatitis symptoms by the end was B12 injections Dr. E prescribed. Due to our many positive experiences with her, we continue to ask for Dr. E and highly recommend her.

In conclusion:
We've gone to this clinic so many times in the course of a year, and every time, the receptionists, vet techs, and vets have been wonderful to our cats and the prices of anything and everything have been fairly decent (highly recommend pet insurance with senior pets though). I would recommend this place for your pet's medical care, especially with Dr. E. and Dr. Roberts.

“Convenient location with plenty of parking. The staff is very patient with my silly, shy dog.“

“I've been with Alicia Pet Care for many years, going back to the original location on Alicia Parkway. They have always been kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. The explanations on the care and treatment of my pets have always been clear and thorough. I wouldn't take my pets anywhere else.“

“Before meeting Vlade, I had spent thousands and thousands of dollars on training my two dogs, from private sessions to group or even board and train, with some results BUT not comparable to Vlade’s training AT ALL.
The dog wizard really suits him. His professionalism, calm manner, knowledge, method and overall understanding of both dog and human psychology, you could never find ANYONE better that him.
His two weeks boot camp worth every penny. It’s once a life time training FOREVER, off leash, everywhere, with a peace of mind that your dog(s) is going to be on his/her best behavior ever, even when Kathy or Kathy’s mother-in-law are around.
You just have to believe in the process. ?“

“My family and I were away for a couple days so we left our dog under the care of UC Barkley, and we’re so glad we did. There is no other place that takes better care of your furry friends than UC Barkley! They are very caring and do an amazing job with making sure your dog has the best time during their stay! And to mention, they do an excellent job with grooming as well! Highly recommend UC Barkley!“

“Always the best experience with the entire team at Camino Pet Hospital. I have taken my animals there for 17 years plus.“

“Excellent care and the staff is beyond fabulous! I am so grateful to have found such great people who really care about my dogs.
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

“After extensive research for a professional team to provide advanced training for ADA service dog certification, we confidently selected Good Dog OC and Adam’s team.There are many online resources which can be retained for training and subsequent certification. Each group has its opinions and protocol on best practices to accomplish what's necessary.In our case, we have a senior family member who has a lifetime disease requiring the trained compassionate skills of a service dog.Upon our review and contacting five businesses who specialize in training, we began the process of selecting the group we believe would be the best team.We met with two of the five resources before our meeting with Adam from Good Dog OC. The other sources we phoned and discussed their preferred processes.Suffice it to say, our phone conversation and meeting with Adam resulted in selecting Good Dog OC for counseling and instruction.Whether basic training, or more sophisticated steps are needed, i.e., service dog training, I am pleased to provide the highest recommendation to Adam and his team at Good Dog OC.Let’s call it what it is…we adore our four-legged family member. He’s as much a part of our family as love allows.Most importantly, we need the serious help for the disabled senior member of our family to be accompanied by a trained service animal.Adam’s expertise is undeniable.His compassion, knowledge, and concern about details makes him and his team the true “go to” group for any dog training.There are no surprises as far as costs. Adam and the team are paid by their performance. Tangible results matter! Good Dog OC is the winning group!Adam is transparent and more than honorable when discussing costs. It’s very refreshing during inflationary times to have the respect of professionals such as Adam.My genuine appreciation to you Adam, and your team for exceeding expectations and bringing the important “comfort” in our lives!Adam, you are a five-star champion in your training approach and process.Stay the course and keep blessing families with your work.“

“Such a great animal hospital. The staff and veterinarians are so loving and kind. They love their jobs and work with you every step of the way. Pharaoh and Kaya are happy to call this place their hospital.“

“We rescued a sweet little 8 pound poodle in December. She came with quite a few behavioral issues. Our neighbors used Sit Means Sit for their dog so we gave them a call. Megan and Kevin came to the house met us and Emma. They were honest about what training could do. I had taken my dogs to other trainers over the years, NONE of them ever talked about the dogs state of mind. Sit Means Sit focuses on finding that calm state of mind, and all the commands and training are centered around giving the dog peace.But you dear owner must be committed to the process. It works. My baby is calm, confident and stable.“

“If I could give this place (and Natalia and Dylan) 5 more stars I absolutely would... and more. This place is truly amazing, and care about your dogs as if they were theirs. The amount of flexibility and kindness they have shown us in the past days in taking care of our dogs is priceless, and I would not go anywhere else to board my dogs. If you're looking for a place to board your dogs, this is the place. I trust this place unequivocally. Thank you for taking care my dogs as if they were your own, Natalia, Dylan, and team!“

“Doc Mac and crew are so supportive! Kim & April are always so helpful as well! Thanks to the Tustana team, my dogs life has been extended thus in-turn, mine as well!“

“We use EveryDog care services frequently (3-5 times a year).
We have an 85lbs. Siberian Husky whose name is Iggy.
We are always at such great peace with IggyBoy being in the care of EveryDog staff when we are traveling.
They care for their client pets as if they were their own pets.
Our boy has always received excellent care.
The staff here is very friendly and helpful and will administer medications for your pet if needed.
They also have discounted fees for extended stays.

We love the link for EveryDog Pet Retreat that we can open where ever we are to view how our baby is doing.
When we drop him off he is always excited to arrive at this facility.

I highly recommend this facility for pet boarding and care.

Very positive experience for us and our pet.“

“I have been to several events put on by Rock Solid K9 and Nicole and have had nothing but wonderful experiences. Nicole is a gifted dog handler, and my dog and I appreciate her helping us to be come the best team that we can be.“

“Both our high energy gsps run with Carol twice a week..not only do they come home tierd they love Carol! We can ask..Is Carol here? They run into the window crying waiting!“

“Excellent selection, they don’t have a store front but ship out of the Los Angeles area, twice now they have saved me when I was in need of a charger and replacement antenna days before a hunt and both times it showed up on time. Great pricing and extremely helpful!“

“The whole staff has been so helpful, friendly and professional! They took the best care of my little dog.“

“Great experience with our first pet visit. Vet was very knowledgeable and kindly answered all our concerns and questions.“

“My dog has been going to the Zuri for boarding for about 5 years. I appreciate all the staff and how well they care for my dog. I always get her bathed before I pick her up and the groomers do a fantastic job. The groomers always give her a new bandana, man tie or a bow tie. I love that while I am on vacation enjoying myself, my dog is also hanging out with other dogs and enjoying herself. She always comes home tired. I also love that while I am away I can look at my dog enjoying herself on the Zuri live feed cameras. I also take advantage of the vaccination clinic that the Zuri has at their location once a month. I only have wonderful things to say about The Zuri. The report cards they send with her pictures always make me smile while I am away from home. I am able to relax and enjoy my family’s vacation knowing that our dog is being cared for fully. OMG and the holiday photos. I love and appreciate it all. Thank you Zuri! You are the best!“

“I've been going to Chloe for my puppy's grooming for almost a year now and she does a phenomenal job. I have a goldendoodle so his hair gets matted regardless of how much we comb him. She does a great job dematting our puppy without having to cut his hair off to the bare skin. Highly recommended!!“

“Decided to go here as they had more of a family vibe that I'm used to going. And no, not because they have family in their name, although that is kind of interesting and unique too. Unless things are really dire, which they usually aren't, the Vets here take on a more conservative approach. Just like at your human doctor, even tho it seems unsure, not everything is an emergency, and if it is, your pet belongs at the emergency hospital, not your regular vet.

You could choose to go a different route and order excessive tests for your peace of mind, despite the Vets here not seeing the urgency. And mind you, they've had education, they've gone thru training, they've had trials. They've seen so much worse... and so I appreciate that they have a cool head on and can be realistic and logistical.

14 years of cat ownership with hundreds in-between for tnr and cat rescue with 2 handfuls at home now. And with this vet and the one prior in anaheim, not one lost from negligence. No intentional delusion or malice. Good honest people who will suggest this and that and reinforce a necessity here and there but aren't pushy or black and white with all or nothing attitude.“

“The staff is so kind and caring, not only for our fur baby, but for the parents' worried hearts. I hate to leave her behind, but there is no other place I'd go!“

“They took care of a sweet dog that needed emergency help the same day I called. He literally came out dancing when we picked him up! I've never taken an animal there before but I am absolutely impressed with their kindness and care. Will definitely use them again and highly recommend them.“
