AKC describes a burly, barrel-chested, tousle-coated working dog, smart and steady, and an excellent watchdog. Its coat is the biggest line item on the bill.
Business Class for most
Business Class gives about 30 square feet inside plus 60 outside and fits one Bouvier of up to about 90 pounds. A heavy male near 110 pounds does better in First Class at $72.
A rough double coat
The coat is a rough double coat of medium length with a beard and mustache, and AKC rates its care at 4 of 5. Shedding is 3 of 5. Weight picks the row: $65 for a smaller female, $75 for most males, $85 over 100 pounds. Please ask to confirm.
Steady energy
Energy is 4 of 5. Bouviers were bred to herd and guard, so they like space and a task. The grass field and the fenced play areas suit them, and walks are included.
Summer
A dark double coat soaks up the sun. Vacaville logs about 100 days a year at 90 degrees or more (NOAA), so the air-conditioned inside half of the run is where a Bouvier belongs at midday.
Guarding at the fence
A watchdog notices other dogs and people. Dogs see neighbors through the fence but have their own space, and staff walk your dog in from the car at check-in.
Beard, mustache and mess
The Bouvier's beard collects water and food all stay, and the outdoor half of the run adds dust. A bath on the last day sends your dog home presentable, priced from the 2024 chart by weight and coat. Ask to confirm the cell. Food is free: grain-free kibble and wet food, or your own in its original bag with cups written down. Medications are given at no extra charge, and walks are included.
Cost
A week in Business Class is 7 x $59 on the 2026 rates. At 14 nights or more it is $53. Request a stay online or call 707-678-6600.
