If you’ll be in the San Francisco area next weekend, don’t miss the annual Dog Day on the Bay Cruise. Held by Hornblower Cruises & Events, this event is the only time that dogs cruise free with their owners. This year’s event benefits the San Francisco SPCA’s Puppy Dog Tales Reading Program for the first time.
During the two-hour cruise, guests enjoy a brunch buffet and free-flowing sparkling wine, plus live entertainment and scenic San Francisco Bay views. Top dogs are spoiled with treats at the bow-wow buffet, first-class canine water stations and a specially-constructed outdoor grass deck for doggie bathroom breaks.
Well-behaved hounds of all sizes and breeds are welcome. To ensure pet safety, San Francisco SPCA veterinarians and dog monitors will cruise with the group, and custom-built netting on the ship’s rails protects pups big and small.
