Like many people, the other week I went to a friend’s house to watch the Super Bowl. Going to this friend’s house for the Super Bowl is an annual affair. It is generally a low-keyed affair, and sadly much more low keyed since all the kids (which used to number around 10) left for college. […]
At Pet Camp, we’ve always believed that cats, like dogs, need to be active and have enriched days. We know that there are some people who think that cats can just be left alone all day with water, food and litter box; but we know better. It’s nice to know that the folks at […]
We had a client check in for a reservation who spent 30 minutes complaining about our prices and explaining how a competitor charged half as much as we did. She explained how her dog loved coming to Pet Camp, how she loved how we interacted with her dog, that she loved the counselors – but […]
At the end of last year, OneVet released a survey that placed San Francisco as number 8 of the 10 WORST cities for a cat! We tried to find the actual survey on OneVet’s web page to no avail and then scoured the internet looking – also to no avail. So as much as we […]
I haven’t watched many animal television shows since Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom got cancelled. Really, what’s left to watch after Jim finished wrestling with the wild boar?

Less than a week till we get to stuff our faces with our favorite holiday foods! But these are not good for our furry friends. Check out our simple guideline of 5 common holiday foods your pet should avoid.
It’s raining in San Francisco! We can breathe a sigh of relief that the fire season has ended, there’s the likelihood of a good ski season in the Sierras, and if we’re lucky, even enough water for showers next summer (if those folks in Los Angeles and Palm springs stop watering their golf courses for […]
Hopefully you’ve not needed an emergency veterinary appointment in San Francisco. If that’s the case, there are two reasons you should be thankful. First, this means that your pet has been well and second, sadly, if you needed emergency care for your pet, you’re not likely to have gotten it in San Francisco. The lack […]
