Do the following sound familiar? If so, you’re probably a San Francisco dog parent.
- Your dog is a lab-terrier-pit-border collie-chihuahua-mix… you think. As you’ve probably noticed, love-able mutts like yours are the most common “breed” in San Francisco.
- You know all about the new SF dog food truck, and also know that its going to be the best thing that happened to you and your dog since Dolores Park.
- Speaking of Dolores Park, your dog LIVES. FOR. IT. You also enjoy a game of fetch at Fort Funston, Chrissy Field, and the Panhandle.
- Your dog’s favorite method of transportation is via a friendly Lyft driver
- Your dog’s second favorite method of transportation is in the doggie bike seat you had installed on the front of your bike. Because, obviously.
- Like a true city dog, your four-legged friend does not understand grass and prefers to pee in the middle of a concrete sidewalk. It can get embarrassing when you are outside the city limits.
- You are beginning to feel that your dog loves his or her dog walker more than you. And it’s upsetting.
- The first time your dog touched sand was at Ocean Beach
- You spend more money on your dog’s outerwear than your own. Custom-sewn doggie windbreaker? Check! Your dog is prepared for those foggy SF summers.
- You know a dog that is out and proud.
- You own or have tested one of the dog activity monitors on the market. You need the latest in gadgets and technology, and your dog deserves the same.
- Having a dog adds to the already insane cost of living in San Francisco…but you’re okay with it. Dog before self.
