Boarding a Greyhound

The champion sprinter of dogdom is a gentle, noble, sweet-tempered companion with an independent spirit, per the AKC.

Coat and baths

Short and smooth, with occasional shedding. A thin coat suits a mild day. On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, a 51 to 75 pound dog is $40 in the extra short column and $45 in the short column. Please ask to confirm.

Sprinter on duty, couch dog off duty

The AKC lists the Greyhound as one of the best dogs for apartment dwellers, gentle and independent. After a walk, a Greyhound is happy on the Kuranda bed. Fenced play areas offer room to stretch.

Heat, cold and the run

With a lean body and short coat, a Greyhound feels both heat and cold. Heated runs in winter and air-conditioned in summer are the answer.

A quiet dog in an active place

The AKC lists the Greyhound as gentle and well suited to apartments. At the kennel that means a dog who is content to nap on a Kuranda bed and take his walks. The large fenced play areas and grass field give room for the occasional sprint.

Check-in, rates and timing

At 60 to 70 pounds and up to 30 inches, a Greyhound fits Business Class (5x6 ft, $59 a night). Business Class is $59 a night on the 2026 rates, so a 6 night stay is 6 x $59 = $354. Check-out is by 11:30 AM. Leave your Greyhound in the car at check-in, and staff will walk him in. Two Greyhounds from one home can share Business Class at $59 and $50, or each take a run if one prefers his own.

A week for one Greyhound

Figures are from the 2026 rates. You pay the balance at pick-up. The reduced rate starts at 14 nights; active military families pay that same reduced rate, about 10 percent off (the rate sheet does not list the two as combining; call 707-678-6600 to confirm).
