Two dogs sharing one kennel pay the first dog's nightly rate plus the lower shared rate for the second. On the 2026 rates that is $72 + $61 in First Class, $59 + $50 in Business Class and $52 + $44 in Economy, per night. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) The saving is about 15 percent on the second dog, and it only applies when the dogs share. ## The pairing, class by class **Per night, 2026 rates. Add the two numbers in a row for the pair.** | Kennel class | First dog | Second dog sharing | | --- | --- | --- | | First Class (6x8) | $72 | $61 | | Business Class (5x6) | $59 | $50 | | Economy (4x4) | $52 | $44 | ## Which kennel fits two dogs Business Class is described as right for a pair of large dogs, while Economy fits several small or medium dogs and First Class suits extra-large dogs or two or three large ones. The question is how the two get along and how big they are. Dogs who sleep together at home usually share well. A dog who does not like to share is a case for its own kennel, billed at the full rate. ## What each dog gets Sharing a kennel does not change the daily routine. Each dog is walked, fed the house food or its own, and given any medication at no extra charge. Each dog also needs its own current vaccination records on file. ## An example week Two small dogs from one home in Economy, seven nights, cost 7 x $52 for the first dog plus 7 x $44 for the second. That is $364 plus $308. ## Reduced rates still apply separately The shared rate is for the second dog in a kennel. A military or 14+ night stay changes the first dog's line to the reduced price. Please call to confirm how the second dog is billed for your dates. ## More on sharing The [multi-dog boarding page](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/multi-dog-boarding/), the [two dogs one kennel guide](https://happypawskennels.com/guides/two-dogs-one-kennel/) and the [sharing question](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/can-my-dogs-share-a-kennel/) cover how to decide. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Happy Paws Kennels 2026 rate sheet (PDF)](https://happypawskennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2026-Rates-EFFECTIVE-1-1-26.pdf) - [Happy Paws Kennels rates page](https://happypawskennels.com/rates/) ### Visit or call 6677 Midway Road, Dixon, CA 95620 [707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) | Drop-off and pick-up, every day | 7:30 to 11:30 AM and 2:00 to 5:00 PM | | --- | --- | | Tours, every day (no appointment) | 9:00 to 11:00 AM and 2:00 to 4:00 PM | [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin) ### Related - [Two or more dogs](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/multi-dog-boarding/) - [Should two dogs share a kennel?](https://happypawskennels.com/guides/two-dogs-one-kennel/) - [Can my dogs share a kennel?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/can-my-dogs-share-a-kennel/) - [Can three dogs share a kennel?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/can-three-dogs-share-a-kennel/) - [Which kennel class?](https://happypawskennels.com/tools/kennel-class-finder/) - [FAQ](https://happypawskennels.com/faq/) ## Read next - [How much is dog day care for a week?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/how-much-is-dog-day-care-for-a-week/) - [How much does a weekend stay cost?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/how-much-does-a-weekend-stay-cost/) - [Do you charge by the night or by the day?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-you-charge-by-the-night-or-by-the-day/) - [What is the least expensive way to board my dog?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-is-the-least-expensive-way-to-board-my-dog/) - [Can the military rate and the long-term rate be combined?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/can-the-military-rate-and-the-long-term-rate-be-combined/) - [Is a deposit required for a regular stay?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/is-a-deposit-required-for-a-regular-stay/) - [What are your hours on Thanksgiving Eve, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-are-your-hours-on-thanksgiving-eve-christmas-eve-and-new-years-eve/) - [Are you open on weekends?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/are-you-open-on-weekends/) Answers ## Questions people ask Still have a question?
