[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):** 30 to 50 lb - **Kennel:** Economy Class, 4 x 4 ft - **Per night:** $52 - **Bath (2024 chart):** $55 A Standard Schnauzer is a medium dog, 35 to 50 pounds for males and 30 to 45 for females by the AKC, with a wiry double coat, so one fits an Economy kennel (4x4 ft, $52 a night on the 2026 rates). On the 2024 bath chart the 26 to 50 pound row is $55 in the Double Coated column. Standard means the middle size, twice a Miniature's weight and half a Giant's. AKC calls it a sometimes-willful but ever reliable German farm dog with a sporty look and a bewhiskered face. ## The middle schnauzer At 17.5 to 19.5 inches, a Standard is bigger than a Mini (12 to 14) and smaller than a Giant (23 to 27). One fits Economy, though a leggy male who likes to stretch can step up to [Business Class](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/business-class-kennel/) at $59. ## Coat and bath The wiry outer coat sits over a soft undercoat, and shedding is a low 1 of 5. Coat care is 3 of 5. The 2024 chart reads $55 for Double Coated at 26 to 50 pounds, or $45 for Medium if your dog is clipped short. Please ask to confirm. ## Beard A schnauzer beard holds water and food, and a damp beard can smell by day four. A bath on the last day sends your dog home fresh. ## Willful and bright Energy is 3 of 5. Standards are smart and like a job, so the fenced play areas and the grass field are good for them, and walks are included. A note about quirks helps staff handle a dog with opinions. ## Heat NOAA records about 100 days a year at 90 degrees or more at Vacaville. The air-conditioned inside half of the run keeps a double-coated dog comfortable, and the doggie door lets your Standard choose. ## Choosing food and treats Many Schnauzers have sensitive stomachs or skin, and Standards are no exception. The house food is free, and the menu includes grain-free kibble with wet food, farm-fresh eggs, hot dogs and treats. If your dog is on a special diet, send it in the original bag with the amount in cups. Extras such as a Happy Lick Mat with peanut butter or cheese are $4.99, and a frozen bell pepper Happy Pupsicle is $7.99. ## Cost and records A week in Economy is 7 x $52 on the 2026 rates, and 14 nights or more is $47 a night. Rabies, distemper/parvo and Bordetella records must be good through the last day. Canine influenza is recommended but not required.
