A Pug is a small, solid dog, 14 to 18 pounds by the AKC, with a short, smooth coat, so one fits an Economy kennel (4x4 ft, $52 a night on the 2026 rates). On the 2024 bath chart the 16 to 25 pound row is $30 Extra Short or $35 Short, and 15 pounds or less is $20 or $25.

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).

Booking and records

Request a stay online through Book / My Account or call 707-678-6600; the kennel confirms every request. Bring current rabies, distemper/parvo and Bordetella records, and arrive flea and tick free. Canine influenza is recommended but not required.

Costs and records

A week in Economy is 7 x $52 on the 2026 rates; 14 nights or more is $47. 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.
