How much does it cost to board a large dog?

On the 2026 rates, a large dog is $59 per night in Business Class. An extra large dog goes in First Class at $72, and the Economy kennel at $52 also fits one large dog.

Weight does not set the price. The kennel class does, and the class follows the room your dog needs.

Large dog, three choices

Economy has about 16 square feet inside plus 48 outside, Business Class about 30 plus 60, First Class about 48 plus 72.

Economy4x4 ft$527 x $52 = $364
Business Class5x6 ft$597 x $59 = $413
First Class6x8 ft$727 x $72 = $504

Which to pick

Business Class suits one large dog or a pair, and also a dog who does not like to share. First Class is for extra large dogs, such as Great Danes, or two or three large dogs together. Economy fits one large dog who is comfortable in a smaller kennel. Ask for a recommendation by phone, or use the kennel class finder.

Ways the price drops

Stays of 14 nights or more and military families get the reduced line: $53 in Business Class and $65 in First Class. A second large dog in the same kennel pays $50 in Business Class or $61 in First Class. Military and long-term do not stack.

What stays the same

Food, walks and medications are included whatever the size of the dog. Baths are priced by weight and coat, so a large dog's bath is higher: please ask for a price. Read more on the large and giant dogs page.
