Military rate

The military rate is a reduced nightly price for active military families, about 10% off the one-dog rate. On the 2026 rates it is $47 in Economy, $53 in Business Class and $65 in First Class.

Travis Air Force Base is nearby, and the rate sheet has a line for military families.

What the sheet says

The rate sheet lists a military line for one dog under each kennel class: $47, $53 and $65 per night, approximately 10% off the standard $52, $59 and $72. The boarding agreement asks whether an owner is active military. The rate sheet does not define eligibility further, so call 707-678-6600 to confirm who qualifies.

A worked example

Seven nights in Business Class at the standard rate is 7 x $59 = $413. At the military rate it is 7 x $53 = $371. A dog in First Class for ten nights at the military rate is 10 x $65 = $650. The same figures apply to the 14-night long-term rate, and the sheet does not show the two as stacking.

Where it fits in a military move

Families boarding for a permanent change of station, a deployment or temporary duty are the typical users. Military OneSource explains the moving rules for pets. Read military families, PCS moves with pets and deployment and long-term boarding.

More

See long-term rate, the military rate service page and is there a military discount.

How to ask for it

When you book, mention that you are military. The boarding agreement has an Active Military box, and the staff can tell you whether any proof is needed. Because eligibility beyond that line is not spelled out on the sheet, call 707-678-6600 if you are a reservist, a Guard member, a veteran or a retiree. Having the question answered before you travel avoids surprises at pick-up.

Planning around orders

Orders can change dates quickly. If a deployment, a school or a move shifts your trip, tell the kennel as early as you can. The holiday deposit rule applies to stays that start near a major holiday regardless of the rate. Families on a PCS often need weeks of boarding, so ask about the long-term billing too. Related entries: PCS and TDY.

Checking the arithmetic

To compare prices, multiply the nightly rate by the nights. Five nights in Economy at the military rate is 5 x $47 = $235, against 5 x $52 = $260 at the standard rate. The estimator does the sums for you, including a second dog and an afternoon pick-up.
