“One small step for man, one giant new landing page for Pet Camp!” The last time a landing was this cool Neil was landing on the moon (yup, Mark is old enough to remember his dad waking him up early in the morning to watch it on TV). Ok, maybe our new landing page isn’t […]
Pet Camp has long prided itself on having a great relationship with all of San Francisco’s veterinary hospitals. We very much nurture those relationships and value their feedback on ways we can continue to improve on the care we provide to San Francisco’s dogs and cats. One of the things that always made it so […]
A recent Sunday New York Times had an article about what it took to get your dog into a fancy (and maybe not so fancy) New York City Co-Op. While we’re not suggesting any of you should even consider moving to the Big Apple (we’d miss you too much), we thought the article was interesting. […]

As I understood this admonition, I thought it meant such things as we should be as kind to […]
In a recent edition of the Sunday New York Times, the Ethicist was asked if someone should adopt a cat from a “no-kill” shelter or at a shelter that “euthanizes animals if there are too many.” The potential pet parent was torn between saving a cat at the kill shelter vs. supporting the policy of the […]
Anyone who has ever read some of Pet Camp’s more racy blog posts (Doggie Erection Gets Pet Camp Dicked Over comes to mind) knows that we have no problem pushing the envelope when it comes to the language used in blogs, but a recent blog by Maddie’s Fund reminded us that language still matters.

In San Francisco there are several rescue groups that are bringing dogs from Asia to the Bay Area.
