The bath cell depends on the weigh-in: for a short coat the 2024 chart shows $50 at 76 to 100 pounds and $65 over 100. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) The AKC calls the Cane Corso assertive, confident and a peerless protector, from a lineage back to ancient Rome. A big, steady dog does best with a calm, simple routine at drop-off. ## A tall dog needs floor Because weight is not fixed in the AKC description, size by height and build. A male near 27 inches is a heavy dog, and First Class gives about 48 square feet inside and 72 outside. A smaller female may be comfortable in Business Class at $59. Tell us your dog's weight when you book. ## Coat The coat is short, stiff and dense. AKC rates shedding at 2 of 5, light. The bath price depends on weight, not height: on the 2024 chart, 76 to 100 pounds is $50 and over 100 is $65 in the Short column. Please ask to confirm. ## Confidence and care at drop-off AKC rates energy at 4 of 5. Strong, loyal dogs can be wary of strangers, so leave your Corso in the car at check-in while paperwork is done, and the staff will walk him in on a leash. A short intro tour is welcome any day 9 to 11 AM or 2 to 4 PM. ## Heat A big, dark dog heats up in the afternoon. About 28 days a year top 100 degrees in nearby Vacaville's NOAA normals. Outdoor time in the mornings and evenings, and the air-conditioned inside half the rest of the day. ## Cost examples A week in First Class is 7 x $72 on the 2026 rates, and 14 nights or more is $65 a night. A smaller female in Business Class is $59. Two Corsi from one home share First Class for $72 plus $61. ## Food and medicine Large-breed diets are welcome in the original bag with cups written down. Medications are given at no extra charge. ## Tour first Walk the property before the stay. Tours are every day 9 to 11 AM and 2 to 4 PM, no appointment. ## Records and paperwork A boarding agreement is signed once, even with an online account. Vaccine records for rabies, distemper/parvo and Bordetella must be good through the last day. Canine influenza is recommended but not required.
