Please ask. The 2026 rate sheet says bath prices depend on the dog's size plus the type and length of the coat. The only chart, from January 1, 2024, ran $20 to $85. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) Baths are for overnight boarders. Call 707-678-6600 to confirm the current price. ## How the chart works Find your dog's weight on the left, then your dog's coat length across the top: extra short (a Boxer), short (a Labrador), medium (a Shepherd) or extra long or double coated (a Malamute or Husky). The numbers below come from the 2024 bath chart, so please ask to confirm. | Weight | Extra short | Short | Medium | Extra long or double coat | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 15 lb or less | $20 | $25 | $30 | $35 | | 26 to 50 lb | $35 | $40 | $45 | $55 | | 76 to 100 lb | $45 | $50 | $55 | $75 | | Over 100 lb | $55 | $65 | $75 | $85 | ## Booking a bath Tell staff your best arrival time so bathing and drying are done when you pick up. A bath before pick-up does not change the nights you book. Read [why a bath after a country stay](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/why-does-my-dog-need-a-bath-after-a-country-stay/). ## Tools The [bath price finder](https://happypawskennels.com/tools/bath-price-finder/) works out the row and column for you, and the [bath price chart](https://happypawskennels.com/data/bath-price-chart/) shows every cell. ## Reading the numbers On the 2024 chart, a 40-pound Labrador-type dog with a short coat falls in the 26 to 50 pound row and the Short column, which is $40. A 90-pound Husky with a double coat falls in the 76 to 100 pound row and the last column, which is $75. These are examples from the older chart, so please ask the kennel to confirm today's price. ## Why coat matters A thick double coat takes far longer to wash and dry than a short coat, which is why the price rises across each row. Bring a note about your dog's coat if it is unusual. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Happy Paws Kennels bath chart, effective January 1, 2024](https://happypawskennels.com/data/bath-price-chart/) - [Happy Paws Kennels 2026 rate sheet (PDF)](https://happypawskennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2026-Rates-EFFECTIVE-1-1-26.pdf) ### 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 - [Boarder baths](https://happypawskennels.com/baths/) - [Bath price finder](https://happypawskennels.com/tools/bath-price-finder/) - [Bath price chart by weight & coat](https://happypawskennels.com/data/bath-price-chart/) - [Baths](https://happypawskennels.com/faq/baths/) - [Why does my dog need a bath after a country stay?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/why-does-my-dog-need-a-bath-after-a-country-stay/) - [FAQ](https://happypawskennels.com/faq/) ## Read next - [Do you offer day care by the hour?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-you-offer-day-care-by-the-hour/) - [What is the buy-10-get-12 package?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-is-the-buy-10-get-12-package/) - [Is there a military discount?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/is-there-a-military-discount/) - [Is there a long-term discount?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/is-there-a-long-term-discount/) - [Do you bill long stays in advance?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-you-bill-long-stays-in-advance/) - [What is a Happy Pup Cup?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-is-a-happy-pup-cup/) - [What is a picture play session?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-is-a-picture-play-session/) - [Do you send photos?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-you-send-photos/) Answers ## Questions people ask Still have a question?
