[Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) [Usually fits an Economy Class kennel $52 a night ยท 4 x 4 ft inside](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/economy-class-kennel/) - **Weight (AKC):** 7 to 14 lb - **Height (AKC):** 13 to 15 in - **Kennel:** Economy Class, 4 x 4 ft - **Per night:** $52 - **Bath (2024 chart):** $25 The AKC lists an Italian Greyhound at 13 to 15 inches and 7 to 14 pounds, so one fits an Economy kennel (4x4 ft, $52 a night on the 2026 rates). On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, the short column is $25 at 15 pounds or less; please ask to confirm. The Italian Greyhound is a lap dog and a sighthound at once, and the AKC says it needs extra care in cold weather. ## A tiny sighthound who likes warmth At 7 to 14 pounds, an Italian Greyhound fits Economy (4x4 ft, $52 a night). Two from one home can share for $52 and $44. ## Coat and baths Short and smooth with occasional shedding. The AKC notes a short-coat, low-fat breed needing extra care in cold weather. The runs are heated in winter, with Kuranda beds and blankets. On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, 15 pounds or less is $25 in the short column. Please ask to confirm. ## Alert, playful, sensitive The AKC says IGs would much rather be in your lap or bed than on the floor, and that they will bolt after quick-moving prey. The fenced play areas are the right place to run. Staff walk your pet in from the car. ## Heat, cold and the run Winter comfort is the priority for this breed, and the heated runs are there for it. In summer, an IG is comfortable in the air-conditioned inside space. ## Warmth and bedding The AKC says Italian Greyhounds need extra care in cold weather. The runs are heated in winter, and Kuranda beds and blankets are in every run. Many IGs burrow into a blanket, which is fine. ## The hand-off from the car Leave your IG in the car at check-in. Staff carry belongings and walk your pet in, and on cold or hot pavement they may scoop and hurry. Remove any metal pinch (prong) collar. IGs are slender, so a snug harness or collar matters; tell staff about anything your dog wears. ## Rates and sharing Economy is $52 a night, $47 from 14 nights. Two IGs from one home share for $52 and $44. A 3 night weekend is 3 x $52 = $156. ## A week for one Italian 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). **Economy kennel, 2026 rates** | Stay | One Italian Greyhound | Second dog from your home sharing | | --- | --- | --- | | 3 nights | 3 x $52 = $156 | 3 x $44 = $132 | | 7 nights | 7 x $52 = $364 | 7 x $44 = $308 | | 14 nights (reduced rate) | 14 x $47 = $658 | 14 x $44 = $616 | ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [American Kennel Club - Italian Greyhound breed page](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/italian-greyhound/) - [Happy Paws Kennels 2026 rate sheet (PDF)](https://happypawskennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2026-Rates-EFFECTIVE-1-1-26.pdf) - [Happy Paws Kennels bathing rates effective January 1, 2024](https://happypawskennels.com/rates/) - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/normals-monthly/1991-2020/access/) ### 2026 nightly rates - First Class kennel $72 - Business Class kennel $59 - Economy Class kennel $52 - Cat condo $35 All-inclusive: food, medications and walks. 2026 rates, effective for reservations made on or after Jan 1, 2026.
