Small dog boarding

A small dog does not need a huge space, but it does need warmth, a secure place and company when it wants it. Economy Class is sized for small and medium dogs, and the kennel notes several can fit in one.

The Economy run

Economy kennels are about 16 square feet inside with another 48 outside, in the original building. The kennel calls them a great size for several small or medium dogs or one large dog. A small dog has a doggie door, a raised Kuranda bed and blankets, heating in winter and air conditioning in summer.

Two small dogs from one home

Two small dogs can share one run: $52 for the first dog and $44 for the second each night on the 2026 rates. Business Class (5x6 ft, $59 and $50) gives extra room if your dogs like to stretch out. First Class can hold, in the kennel's words, a whole litter of Chihuahuas.

Small-dog details

• Remove prong or metal pinch collars before check-in; they can catch on the chain-link fences in the runs
• Bring a slow-feeder bowl if your dog uses one
• Leave your dog in the car and staff will carry belongings and walk your dog in
• Hot pavement: staff may scoop up a small dog and hurry

Small dogs and the Dixon weather

Hot ground and cold valley nights are tough on every dog's paws. The runs are heated and air conditioned, and dogs can pick inside or out. For summer numbers see hot pavement and paws. Breed guides include the Chihuahua, Yorkshire Terrier and Pomeranian.
