One thing to know: The visit fee is not published, so ask for the total before you book.
Lap of Love
Best for San Francisco families who want keepsakes included at a lower price than the local specialist.
Typical range
from $560
base price
Lap of Love has no team named for San Francisco, but the reviews of its San Mateo County team include San Francisco families. Its $560 base price includes standard travel, sedation first, a clay paw print, a lock of fur and a planning call beforehand.
One thing to know: Confirm that your address is in the team's standard area, because extended travel can add a fee, and aftercare is extra.
