# What is a bubble picture play session?

It is a picture play session with bubbles, sold as an extra at $19.99 per kennel on the 2026 rates. A standard additional picture play session is $14.99 per kennel.

Customers often mention photos of their pets in reviews, and the bubble session is the kennel's more playful version of that extra.

## What the sheet lists

The 2026 rate sheet has two lines for picture play: an additional picture play session at $14.99 per kennel and an additional bubble picture play session at $19.99 per kennel. The bubble line adds bubbles to the session, and the price reflects it.

## Per kennel, not per dog

Both prices are per kennel. Two dogs sharing a kennel are one session, not two, so the cost does not double for a pair that plays together.

## Working out the cost

Two bubble sessions come to 2 x $19.99, and three standard sessions come to 3 x $14.99. Add them to the nightly boarding total on the [stay cost estimator](https://happypawskennels.com/tools/stay-cost-estimator/), and remember extras are settled at pick-up with the balance. Because the price is per kennel, a household with one dog and a household with two dogs sharing pay the same for the same session.

## Who it suits

Dogs who love chasing and playing in the open are natural fits, and so are owners who like a keepsake of the trip. A shy dog or a senior who prefers a quiet afternoon may be happier with a treat such as a lick mat instead.

## Asking about details

The sheet sells these as additional sessions, so ask the staff what a session involves and when to schedule one when you book or at drop-off. Call 707-678-6600. The [picture play page](https://happypawskennels.com/extras/picture-play-sessions/) and the [standard session answer](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-is-a-picture-play-session/) cover the basics.
