Fog City Dogs

So you've landed your dream job -- only problem is, your pup will have to spend all day alone. Savvy solution? Fog City Dog Lodge, your dog's new home away from home.

Dedicated to providing expert dog care to San Francisco and beyond, Fog City Dog Lodge gives your pooch an active environment in which to exercise, play, and socialize with other dogs. Drop him off in the morning for Doggy Daycare, and Fog City's canine-friendly staff will take him on a leashed walk around the neighborhood before attending playgroup, where he'll play ball with other pooches and the Fog City staff.

Later, your dog will have another leashed walk and more play -- or even nap time if he's older or recuperating. You can even observe him via webcam the first day to make sure he's adjusting properly to his new environment, if you so choose. The result: a convenient, worry-free solution for you and your furry best friend.

* It's safe. Fog City Dog Lodge performs temperament evaluations for dogs to ensure an aggression-free environment. That way, he -- and his dog -- can rest assured playtime will be friendly and fun.
* It's convenient. With locations in the Marina and Bayview/Bernal Heights, he can choose whichever Fog City daycare center works best for him and his pooch.

That sounds doggone good.
