Pet Camp recently purchased an item from Amazon for one of our pet care facilities. Before you yell at us for not buying local from a San Francisco business, I did try to purchase the item locally first,but couldn’t locate it. Anyway, the purchase was a failure – the item just didn’t meet our needs […]
As a small business in San Francisco, it feels that there is not very much we can do to influence events in Ukraine. But we are proud to be doing what we can! What Pet Camp is doing to help pets from Ukraine Over the last week, Pet Camp has been contacted by the Center […]
Last month I attended the national gathering of the Association of Lodging Professionals – the industry group for the independent (human) lodging community. I had called in advance about attending and after the initial laughter on their part, I explained that there was a lot of overlap between the human and pet lodging world and […]

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 […]
