  • Quick answer

Why does my dog need a bath after a country stay?

Dogs at Happy Paws run through the field and play in the grass, so some go home with dirt in the coat. You can add a bath before pick-up.

Baths are for overnight boarders and are priced on request.

Country acres

The kennel sits on about 10 acres, with large fenced play areas and a grass field. Dogs who run, roll and dig get dusty or muddy, especially in wet weather. A bath is a convenience, not a requirement.

How a bath is priced

Price depends on your dog's size and the coat type and length. The 2024 chart ran from $20 for a small, extra short coat to $85 for a dog over 100 pounds with a long or double coat. Please ask to confirm. See how much is a bath.

Timing

Tell staff your best arrival time so the bath and drying finish before you come. Check-out is by 11:30 AM, and an afternoon pick-up from 2:00 to 5:00 PM adds half a night.

Fleas and ticks

Pets should arrive free of fleas and ticks. If staff find a problem, the pet is bathed at the owner's cost. See arriving with fleas and boarder baths.

A bath is a choice

Plenty of dogs go home perfectly fine without one. If you want your dog fresh for the car ride and the couch, ask for a bath when you book. The bath price finder shows what size and coat you have.

Which dogs benefit most

Dogs with long or double coats collect the most grass and dust, and light-colored dogs show it the most. If that sounds like your dog, a bath before pick-up means a clean ride home.
