Pet Boarding Training in Irvine

“I cannot recommend Northwood Animal Hospital enough, especially for those with small pets. My bunny Artemis has been seen by both Dr. J and Dr. Roberts, and they are both incredible, knowledgeable, and compassionate vets. I also have nothing but glowing praise for all the vet techs and front desk staff there. Kate and Minerva especially are so sweet and responsive. Everyone here has so much patience and grace.

Unfortunately, my sweet girl passed away during an amputation surgery, but she was older and her paw had become infected. I know that the staff did everything they could…sadly it was just her time. I am so, so grateful to the care that was given to her in the time we spent going to Northwood.“

“Amazing !! I utilize this vet bc I foster for different rescues and what sets this vet apart (besides the amazing vets), is their front office staff!!! I have had to stop going to at least 2 or 3 vets in the past, due to the front office staff being completely rude and abrupt. The ladies here (cuz I haven't seen men upfront) are top notch. They present with such knowledge, patience and loving kindness, it really makes the visit go much smoother!
Then the back office techs and nurses are very skilled and caring.
I really understand why this vet office is busy!!“

“Pam was so kind and patient with us!! She showed us exactly what we needed to do and gave us some much help!! Thank you so much Pam!“

“Blue and Biscuit had a great vet check up! Blue just had her routine vet checkup and Biscuit had her second round of shots. The staff is super friendly and I’ve been going here for years. ???“

“Sylvia is the BEST and she is truly an animal lover! She was so attentive and loving to all fur babies boarded. We are so grateful that our dog had a great time staying there and felt loved. I would highly recommend OC Pet Nurse for pet boarding services.“

“When I first reached out to Good Dog OC, I’ll admit I was very skeptical — mostly because of the cost. Training my dog, Snowy, to become a service animal to do tasks for myself and my son who has been medically diagnosed, was a significant investment, and I wasn’t sure it would pay off.

Even after the first month, I still felt uneasy. I kept second-guessing whether I had made the right choice for Snowy and our family. What made it even harder was that it took a lot of training between Snowy and me — even when Adam wasn’t around. There were days I wondered if we would ever get to the level we needed.

But Adam was patient, professional, and transparent throughout the process. He never dismissed my concerns and always explained the reasoning behind each step. Looking back now that we’re finally at this level, everything happened exactly as it should have. There are no regrets — only gratitude.

Snowy is calm, confident, and fully reliable as a service animal — something I once thought might be impossible. Adam’s expertise and dedication turned my doubt into deep fulfillment.

If you’re on the fence because of the price or initial uncertainty, I understand completely. But give Adam and the process time to work — and be ready to put in the work yourself, too. Snowy gets compliments everyday by strangers on how she is a GOOD DOG. The results truly speak for themselves.

Highly recommend Good Dog OC.“
