The AKC says a Bullmastiff is fearless at work and docile at home. Docile is the word to hold on to for a stay.
Over 100 pounds: First Class
With males at 110 to 130 pounds and females at 100 to 120, a Bullmastiff is a First Class dog: 6x8 ft, $72 a night on the 2026 rates, with about 48 square feet inside. Business Class can work for a smaller female.
Coat and baths
Fawn, red or brindle, short and smooth per the AKC, shedding seasonally. Short coat over 100 pounds is $65 on the bath chart effective January 1, 2024. Please ask to confirm. Short coats are easy to dry and brush after a bath.
Reliable, biddable, protective
The AKC calls Bullmastiffs biddable and reliable and says large guarding dogs need early training and socialization. For the stay, be clear on the boarding agreement about how your dog handles new people. Staff walk your dog in from the car, so a collar that fits and a calm hand-off make a good start.
Heat, cold and the run
A heavy, muscular dog with a short muzzle breathes harder in heat. The AKC lists a low barking level and a calm temperament, so the best plan is indoors in the air-conditioned side of the run during the hot hours, with walks early and late.
Long stays and big dogs
From 14 nights First Class is $65, so a 14 night stay is 14 x $65 = $910 on the 2026 rates. Stays beyond four weeks charge the card on file every two weeks in advance. Cash, checks, debit and the major credit cards are accepted at pick-up for shorter stays.
Hand-off at the gate
A Bullmastiff on a hot pavement is better off in an air-conditioned car than waiting. Staff carry belongings and walk your dog in. Remove any metal pinch (prong) collar first.
Bring the paperwork, not the bed
Upload vaccine records to your ProPetware account when you request the booking, and sign the boarding agreement once. Dogs need rabies, distemper/parvo and Bordetella current through the last day. Canine influenza is recommended but not required. Dogs must be 16 weeks or older before the first day, and all breeds are welcome, neutered or intact.
