Big Bear Travel tips for pets
If you are planning to bring your pet, tell the Guest Service Representative that makes the reservation - we want to find a home for you that will suit you and your pet best. Let them know if you would like a fenced yard or if you have special considerations.
Please understand that a pet charge of $10.00/night will be charged to you to cover the extra cleaning necessary after a dog has stayed in a home
Shore Acres Lodge. With almost 2 acres of Lakefront property and the beach, Shore Acres Lodge is a great place for dogs! Dogs have access to the lake to swim and it is conveniently close to many hiking trails.
Bring your dog food from home. It is easier on your dog if you don't suddenly switch to a new brand. Remember that the altitude can also affect your dog a little bit. Don't forget to bring his bowl, leash and favorite toy!
Remember to bring the vaccination record. Bring your records with you. If you should have and emergency it will help you greatly if you need to contact the local vet.
Don't leave your dog in the car. Even worse than the cold in the winter is the hot in the summer. Temperatures become unbearable when the sun pounds onto the metal roof of your vehicle and a cracked window will not be enough. In addition, dogs have hurt and killed themselves trying to escape the heat through a small crack in the window! You wouldn't leave your child in the car - don't leave your dog. Instead - bring a kennel or crate if you leave your dog behind for a few hours in the rental home. That way you will be able to enjoy yourself knowing that your dog is in a safe place.

Use your dog leash until you know that it's safe for your dog to play off-leash. There are many nice hiking trails that you may take your dog off the leash if you are sure that he will stay close to you. Remember that if he gets lost he won't find his way home and there is wildlife around that may distract him and cause him to loose track of you. So keep a close eye on your dog.
Please pick up after your dog and don't let the next guest find your doggies surprises in the backyard. We provide bags for easy cleaning at Shore Acres Lodge for your convenience.
Separation Anxiety. You know your dog best: If you think he might have anxieties without you in a strange place, don't leave him alone to bark, destroy somebody else's property, chew or urinate. Bring a Kennel just in case. If you have to leave him alone for a bit at least you will have a safe place to put him
When making a reservation: Make sure you mention your pet at the time of reservation so that a dog friendly unit is chosen for your stay. Mention if you need a fenced yard and let us know if that means 2 feet or 6 feet.
