AKC describes a colossal, heavy-boned dog of courage and prodigious strength that is also docile and dignified. The main concern is space, weight and heat.
First Class for a giant
Males are 30 inches and up, females 27.5 and up. First Class gives about 48 square feet inside and 72 outside, plus a Kuranda bed. Business Class, 5x6 ft, is likely tight.
Coat
The coat is short and dense. Over 100 pounds, Extra Short is $55 and Short $65. AKC rates shedding at 3 of 5. Ask to confirm the price.
Slow and steady
Energy is 3 of 5. A Mastiff wants short walks and lying down. Walks are included, and the grass field is gentler on big joints than pavement.
Heat and weight
A giant dog gains heat slowly and loses it slowly. The normal July high near Dixon is about 97 degrees (NOAA, Vacaville), and about 28 days a year top 100. Outdoor time is best early or late, and the air-conditioned inside half is the place at midday. Tell us about any drooling or breathing issues.
Weighing in
Because the bath row and the kennel depend on weight, tell us your dog's weight at booking. If you do not know, a vet scale can tell you.
Getting up and down
Mastiffs are heavy, and slick floors can be hard on joints. A Kuranda bed raises a large dog, and blankets are in every run. Tell us about any mobility trouble.
What a stay costs
A 5-night stay in First Class is 5 x $72 on the 2026 rates. A second dog from the same home is $61, and 14 nights or more is $65 a night; active military families pay that same reduced rate (the rate sheet does not list the two as combining; call 707-678-6600 to confirm).
Booking
Request a stay online through Book / My Account or call 707-678-6600. The kennel confirms every reservation.
Costs and records
A week in First Class is 7 x $72 on the 2026 rates; 14 nights or more is $65. Two Mastiffs from one home pay $72 plus $61. Rabies, distemper/parvo and Bordetella records must be good through the last day, and your dog should be 16 weeks or older before the first day. Canine influenza is recommended but not required.
