AKC says Pugs live to love and to be loved in return. A Pug stay is a people-and-heat stay: a short nose, a shedding coat and a lot of affection.
Economy
At 10 to 13 inches, a Pug is compact and broad. Two from one home share Economy for $52 plus $44.
Short coat, high shedding
AKC rates shedding at 4 of 5, surprisingly heavy for a short coat. A bath cell is $25 (15 pounds or less, Short) to $35 (16 to 25, Short). Ask to confirm.
The short-nose rule
A Pug cools poorly because of its short muzzle. About 28 days a year reach 100 degrees at nearby Vacaville (NOAA). Keep exercise to morning and evening and use the air-conditioned inside half. Tell the staff about any snoring, wheezing or past heat problems. See flat-faced dogs in the heat.
Appetite
Energy is 3 of 5, and many Pugs love food. Write the cups on the form, send the usual food in its original bag if on a diet, and say if your dog should skip treats.
Eyes and folds
Pugs have prominent eyes and facial folds. Write down any routine, and bring drops if needed; medications are given at no extra charge.
Snoring
Pugs snore and snuffle. That is normal for the breed. Tell the staff what is typical so they can spot a change.
What a stay costs
A 4-night stay in Economy is 4 x $52 on the 2026 rates. A second dog from the same home is $44, and 14 nights or more is $47 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).
