  • Quick answer

How long can a dog be boarded?

As long as you need. The Happy Paws rate sheet and boarding agreement set no maximum number of nights, a long-term rate applies from 14 nights, and stays past four weeks are billed to a card on file every two weeks in advance.

People ask this when a house sale, a remodel or a move leaves a gap of weeks or months. The money side is simple arithmetic on the 2026 rates.

What the rate sheet says

The 2026 rates list a long-term line for 14 or more nights: $65 per night in First Class, $53 in Business Class and $47 in Economy, about 10% below the one-dog price. The military line is the same reduced price, so the two do not stack. The agreement says the posted daily rates apply to the whole stay.

What a long stay adds up to

These totals are plain multiplication of the sheet's nightly prices. Two dogs sharing a kennel pay the additional-dog price for the second dog.

How billing works past four weeks

For a stay over 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. Cash, checks, debit, Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover are all accepted, so you can settle the final balance however you like.

Keep the pick-up date current

Call if the pick-up date changes. The agreement treats a pet that is still unclaimed 10 days after the scheduled pick-up date, with no contact from the owner, as abandoned, so a quick phone call protects you. Vaccine records must stay good through the end of the stay, which on a long stay usually means sending updated records when a booster comes due. More planning advice is on the long-term boarding guide.

Does a long stay change the kennel class?

No. You choose Economy, Business Class or First Class, and the long-term price applies to that class.

Can I extend a stay that is already underway?
