The Leonberger is a lush-coated giant. The AKC says Leos require lots of brushing.
Coat and baths
The AKC describes a medium-long waterproof double coat and, on males, a lion-like mane, with regular shedding. On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, the double coated column is $75 at 76 to 100 pounds and $85 over 100. Please ask to confirm.
Gentle, friendly, nobody's fool
The AKC calls Leonbergers gentle, friendly and playful, with serene patience. Ample room for romping is part of what the AKC says Leos need, and the grass field and fenced play areas serve that.
Heat, cold and the run
A thick waterproof coat holds heat. The air-conditioned inside run is the right place for a Leonberger on a summer day.
Brushing and the bath
The AKC says Leos require lots of brushing. A coat that is brushed out before drop-off is easier to care for through the week. A bath before pick-up is available for boarders; please ask.
Rates and room
At 90 to 170 pounds, a Leonberger fits First Class (6x8 ft, $72 a night). First Class is $72 a night on the 2026 rates, or $65 from 14 nights. A 7 night stay is 7 x $72 = $504. The run is 6x8 ft, with about 48 square feet inside and 72 outside, and a Kuranda bed.
Hand-off
Leave your Leonberger in the car at check-in, and staff will walk him in. All breeds are welcome, neutered or intact, from 16 weeks of age.
What a stay for a Leonberger costs
Every figure here is from the 2026 rates; the balance is paid 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).
