The Fish Locker is a well-stocked independent pet supply store on Big Bear Boulevard, carrying premium food, treats, toys, accessories, and grooming supplies for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and small animals. The knowledgeable staff can help you find the right food or gear for your dog, whether you need to restock on kibble during a mountain vacation or pick up a new toy for the trail.

What makes this place particularly useful for dog owners is that they actually know their inventory and can point you toward options that match your dog’s specific needs — whether that’s a particular brand of food, size-appropriate toys, or gear suited to Big Bear’s terrain. If you’re staying in the area and your dog needs a bath before heading back home, they offer full-service grooming. They also run training classes for dogs working through behavioral issues or learning basic commands, which can be helpful if you’ve got a puppy or a newly adopted dog adjusting to mountain life.

Beyond the retail side, the Fish Locker hosts adoption events, connecting local dogs in need with families looking for hiking partners or permanent residents. It’s genuinely a community hub for the Big Bear pet world, not just a transaction-focused store.

Dogs are welcome inside while you shop, so your dog can come along and might even find something they’re excited about. The staff won’t pressure you into anything, and they’re straight with you about what actually works versus what’s just marketing. If you’re staying at a cabin nearby or live in Big Bear year-round, this is the place to know. The store is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and they can tell you what they have in stock if you call ahead about something specific.
