Pet Camp Featured on AT&T’s New Site for
Small Business

In March, AT&T launched a new addition to its site called Onward Small Biz. Designed to address the communications needs of the small business owner, it offers an online learning center, provides advice, posts relevant articles and practical tools useful to the small business community, and enables owners to connect and share ideas and experiences with their peers.

Pet Camp is please to be one of the first businesses to be profiled on the site. When Pet Camp planned for the opening of its new Cat Safari facility in Presidio Heights, they anticipated the need to be able to communicate easily between the two locations and respond to the needs of traveling customers who want to check in on their pets. In the clip, Mark and Virginia tell how they’ve used a point-to-point T1 line to unify data and communications that enables a shared workload, common database access, and lets them seamlessly connect their out-of-town clients with their pets – regardless of whether they are staying at the main campground or at Cat Safari.
