The kennel is then closed all day on the holidays that follow each eve.

What happens the next day
Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day are closed all day, so there is no drop-off or pick-up. In 2026 that means pick-up on Friday, November 27, or earlier. For a Christmas trip it means pick-up by 3:00 PM on December 24 or after the closure. Call ahead to plan around those days.
Deposits around the eves
The eves themselves are not on the closed-all-day list, but the holidays right after them are, and a stay that begins within seven days of one carries a 50% deposit due 30 days ahead. The deposit checker shows which window you fall in.
Planning a holiday trip
Pets that go home on an eve have to be collected before 3:00 PM, so a late flight or a long drive can make the day tight. Book early, since holiday weeks fill. The Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Year pages describe how to schedule around the closures. The full year of closures is on the hours page.
