Thanks for taking such good care of Theo! Appreciate all of the updates about his day and night with your and your pup. Happy that Theo was able to hang out with another puppy during his boarding. Theo and I are excited to book Lindsey in the future!

Ana Rosa and Fabricio took great care of Coco. They administered her meds, played with her daily, and sent videos. They also made sure one or both of them were with Coco at all times, since she s not yet trained to be left for long. Thank you!

The best dog events in San Francisco
48
DogFest
Welcome to one of the biggest pet festivals in the United States! DogFest is the place to BE, with your pup by your side to enjoy a mutt-tastic, dog-themed, all-day carnival. One of the largest events in all of San Francisco, you and your pooch can enjoy a day jam-packed with pawesome activities like best Dog Show Categories ( best ears, anyone?), doggie trick performances, costumes, face painting, and a giant adoption fair! There are tons of prizes available for doggos in attendance, hundreds of canine vendors, and lots of silent auction pup treats you can win for your hound. Don't miss out on this free day full of fun bonding with your best four-legged friend!36
SPCA Costume Contest
It's pretty clear that San Francisco loves their pups, so of course that means they love dressing up their pups, too. So much so that they've created an entire day dedicated to costume-clad canines! Every year, the SF SPCA puts on a pup-tastic costume contest, offering you and your pooch the opportunity to strut down the runway. Considered more a fashion show for your doggo, you have the chance to win a ton of fabulous prizes. All proceeds from the benefit goes to the SF SPCA. Pull out those glue guns, give your pup a smooch and apologize in advance for the ridiculous costume you'll be throwing him into. You and your pup won't want to miss this epic contest!24
Dog Days of Summer
Take me out to the ballgame, take me out to the..dogs? We know the lyrics are something like that - but with the annual Dog Days of Summer event at AT&T Park, you really can bring your bow-wow to join you for a day of baseball fun! Not only can you and Fido feast on hotdogs while watching the game, you can also help him strut his mutt stuff in a pre-game parade and costume contest! For $90, you and your pooch can get a bleacher seat to share - but act fast, space is limited!12
World's Ugliest Dog Contest
Every year, the world gathers around (both on the internet and in San Francisco) to vote on the world's ugliest dogs - a badge these pups, and their owners, sport with pride! The contest, which is sponsored by VIP Petcare, encourages entries from homely hounds with faces only their pawrents could love. You and your pup can attend the annual contest that celebrates these pitiful puppers, watch them do a Faux Paw Fashion Show and a Red Carpet Walk. Maybe your pup can even enter the contest! Though the event sounds mean, it's really a celebration that all dogs are adoptable and adorable, despite any imperfection. Winners snag $1,500 and are flown to New York for media appearances! The event is hosted at the Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds every year. Take your pup to the event and be ready to fall in love with some mismatched ears, crossed eyes, and patchy furred pups.
Pet Pride Day
The Pet Pride Day in San Francisco is one of the biggest bow-wow events in the Bay! Put on by SFACC, this annual event is dedicated to pet adoptions, costume contests, K9 demonstrations, and more. You and your pooch can join the free event and hit up the photo booth, eat delicious snacks, shop around the hundreds of pet vendor stands, and even adopt new pups to love without adoption fees! All proceeds from the doggie day will benefit programs and materials that enrich the lives of the SFACC animals.
