San Francisco's largest independent pet store
The Animal Connection was established in 1987, and is San Francisco's largest independent pet store. We are not your typical pet shop. To us, each pet is unique and is family, so we strive to find the perfect fit between people and their pets. Our staff is experienced, knowledgeable, and extremely passionate about animals.
Not only do we provide expert advice and carry amazing premium products, but we also board and groom small mammals, birds, and reptiles!
Premium Supplies
We carry premium and progressive dog and cat diets, a huge selection of toys and supplies, and high quality live and frozen foods for reptiles, amphibians, and fish. Our bird section includes top-of-the-line cages, accessories, name brand pelleted foods, and bulk and packaged seeds.
We also have rescue guinea pigs, rats, and hamsters as well as cages, supplies, and enrichment items for when you take home your new furry friend. Rescue reptiles — including leopard geckos, crested geckos, bearded dragons, veiled chameleons, and corn and king snakes — are regularly available.

Animal Welfare
"We do NOT sell dogs, cats, or rabbits and always suggest adoption."
The Animal Connection
Animal welfare is a passion of ours. If you're thinking about taking home a pet, our expert staff will pair you up with the right animal for you.
We do not sell dogs, cats, or rabbits — and always suggest adoption. These are the top three animals that occupy shelters. We do not support breeding mills.
We work closely with rescue organisations and local breeders to save as many animals as we can. Support rescue and responsible breeding by choosing The Animal Connection.
