My Petunia is classified as "highly reactionary to other dogs", especially bigger dogs and Misty has specialized training in handling this situation safely. She goes above and beyond and has a heart of gold with these animals. I love the way she shares pictures and stories when they are in her care I wouldn't trust them with anyone else.

I took Mr. White yesterday for his first checkup, and vaccinations. It's the coolest vet clinic…read moreI've been to, with fun decor. The entire staff is very friendly. And Dr. D., rather than having me put Walter up on the metal table where most dogs would more likely be nervous, he just sat down on the bench with us and chatted and casually did his exam. Such great bedside manner. At a former vet in San Diego, I would always sit on the floor with my dogs rather than putting them in a chair while waiting. The doctor would come in and then just sit down on the floor with us for the entire time. That was very cool too. We started to exit to the lobby out of one door, but there was a very angry German Shepherd barking loudly. So a sweet vet tech stopped us, brought us out a door on the opposite side of the lobby, then walked all the way to the front door with us, staying between the German Shepherd and us in case it got aggressive. That act of care and kindness was amazing.

Today I brought my disabled neighbors bulldog to Dr. D due to sudden, severe weight loss. We…read morethought it was her teeth. After careful physical exam, Dr. D determined not her teeth, has a heart arrhythmia and likely the cause for her weight loss. Waiting lab and echo results tomorrow, then likely a cardiologist consult down the mountain. I took a video of the visit because the owner's (who loves Dr. D, has taken his other 2 dogs to him too), daughter needed to see the thorough exam and care that Dr. D. gives to all his patients. She was impressed. And even though the appointment wasn't for my girl Tenaya, he still took the time to acknowledge her...love Dr. D. and his staff.

I can't rave enough about Bella and Fernando at Guiding Pets & Parent! 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!

Fernando & Bella of Guiding Pets & Parents are amazing! I've been using their training & boarding…read moreservices for almost a year. 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!
