Long stays save money per night, and they come with a different payment schedule.
The numbers
The one-dog rates are $52, $59 and $72 for Economy, Business Class and First Class. The long-term rates are $47, $53 and $65. A 14-night stay in Business Class is 14 x $53 = $742 at the long-term rate, against 14 x $59 = $826 at the standard rate. The rate sheet marks the long-term line as 14-plus nights, approximately 10% off.
How it relates to the military rate
The military rate is priced at the same figures, so the two are not shown as adding together on the sheet. If both could apply to your stay, call 707-678-6600 and ask which price is used.
Billing past four weeks
When a stay lasts more than four weeks, the kennel keeps a card on file and charges it every two weeks in advance. Shorter stays pay the balance at pick-up. Afternoon pick-up is charged half a night. Vaccines must stay current through the last day, so check expiry dates before a long stay.

Who uses it
Owners with a home renovation, a work assignment, a move between houses or a long trip are the main users. Military families on a permanent change of station or deployment also board for weeks. A long stay gives the staff time to learn your dog's habits, and it suits dogs that settle into a routine.
Before you book, think about what your dog needs for several weeks: bath timing, nail checks, a refill of medication and a plan for pick-up. Read what to expect from a month-long stay and the military and long-term FAQ.
Checking the math yourself
Multiply the long-term nightly rate by the number of nights. Twenty nights in Economy is 20 x $47 = $940. Thirty nights in First Class is 30 x $65 = $1950. The estimator runs the same sums and lets you add a second dog or an afternoon pick-up.
