## Booking from a long way off

Fill in the online account once, upload vaccine records, and sign the boarding agreement one time. After that each stay is a request through Book / My Account that the kennel confirms. See [new clients](https://happypawskennels.com/new-clients/).

## Deployment and training stretches

Service members may be gone for a week-long exercise or a long deployment, and both work here. For stays over four weeks a card on file is charged every two weeks in advance, and the reduced rate applies from the 14th night. See [deployment and long-term boarding](https://happypawskennels.com/military/deployment/) for the details.
