Local Tips from Russian Hill Dog Owners

  • Francisco Park (Pepi's) is shared with Marina - astroturf keeps paws clean
  • Russian Hill has some of SF's steepest streets - not for every dog
  • Fog burns off faster here than Marina due to elevation
  • Lombard Street crowds can stress dogs - avoid during peak tourist hours
