AKC calls the Great Dane easygoing and a total joy to live with, but adds that a dog of this size is a commitment. For a kennel, it is about space.
A giant needs First Class
Males are 30 to 32 inches, females 28 to 30. A Dane stretched out takes real floor. First Class gives about 48 square feet inside and 72 outside and is the run listed for extra large dogs. Business Class is 5x6 and tends to be tight.
Coat and bath
The coat is short and smooth. Over 100 pounds is the last row on the chart: $55 Extra Short, $65 Short. Please ask to confirm. AKC rates shedding at 3 of 5.
Gentle giant, still a puppy at heart
Energy is 4 of 5. Many Danes are goofy and gentle, and they move softly around other dogs. A grass field is easier on big joints than pavement. Walks are in the rate.
Heat and comfort
A giant dog in heat warms slowly and cools slowly. In a country where a normal July day has a high of 97 degrees at nearby Vacaville, the air-conditioned inside half and the Kuranda bed off the floor are well suited.
Cost examples
First Class is $72 a night on the 2026 rates; a week is 7 x $72. At 14 nights or more it is $65. Two Danes from one home are $72 plus $61.
Food and medicine
A giant dog eats a lot and often has a particular diet. Send it in the original bag with cups written down. Medications are given at no extra charge.
Check-in
Leave your Dane in the car and staff will bring him in on a leash. Tours are 9 to 11 AM and 2 to 4 PM.
Weight and the bath row
Even a 110 pound female is in the Over 100 row, so the price is the same as for a 175 pound male: $55 Extra Short or $65 Short on the 2024 chart. Ask to confirm.
Space inside and out
First Class has about 48 square feet inside and 72 outside, with a doggie door so your Dane can choose. The Kuranda bed keeps a heavy dog off the floor, and blankets are in every run.
