The class decides the square footage your dog gets and what you pay. It does not change the care, the food or the walks.
The three classes
Sizes are the interior floor plus an outdoor area, as the kennel describes them.
| Class | Inside | Outside | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy | 4 x 4 ft, about 16 sq ft | about 48 sq ft | Several small or medium dogs, or one large dog |
| Business Class | 5 x 6 ft, about 30 sq ft | about 60 sq ft | A pair of large dogs, or one who prefers not to share |
| First Class | 6 x 8 ft, about 48 sq ft | about 72 sq ft | Extra large dogs, two or three large dogs, or a litter of Chihuahuas |
Price by class
The 2026 nightly rates for one dog are $52 for Economy, $59 for Business Class and $72 for First Class. Each additional dog sharing a kennel is $44, $50 and $61. Military and 14-plus-night rates are $47, $53 and $65 for one dog. Afternoon pick-up adds half of the nightly fee.
What stays the same
Every class includes a Kuranda bed and blankets, access to indoor and outdoor space through a doggie door, walks and medications at no extra charge, and house food. The original 1971 building holds the Economy runs, and the building that opened on October 5, 2022 holds 10 First Class and 40 Business Class runs.
How to choose
Match the class to your dog's size and temperament, and to whether he shares. The kennel class guide and the kennel class finder walk you through it. The three service pages give detail: Economy, Business Class and First Class.
Choosing between two classes
If your dog sits between sizes, think about how he rests. A dog that stretches out flat or paces will use the extra floor in the next class up. A dog that curls in a bed needs less. Sharing changes the picture: two medium dogs from one household often move up a class so each has room to lie down. The kennel's own guidance is that Economy fits several small or medium dogs or one large dog, Business Class fits a pair of large dogs, and First Class fits extra large dogs or up to three large ones.
A tour is the best test. Tours run daily from 9 to 11 AM and 2 to 4 PM, no appointment, with a staff member walking beside you.
