Which kennel class?

Pick a kennel class

1. Choose your dog's size Small, medium, large or extra large.
2. Say how many dogs One, two or three from the same home.
3. Note any sharing preference Some dogs prefer a run of their own.
4. Read the suggestion Compare it with the price, then confirm when you book.

Space is the only difference between classes. Care, food, medications and walks are the same. This page explains the three sizes and how the finder reasons.

The three sizes

Every run has an indoor room and an outdoor area joined by a doggie door. Economy is a 4x4 ft interior with about 16 square feet inside and 48 outside, for $52 a night. Business Class is 5x6 ft, about 30 inside and 60 outside, for $59. First Class is 6x8 ft, about 48 inside and 72 outside, for $72 (2026 rates).

How the finder decides

• Small or medium dogs, one or several: Economy
• One large dog: Economy or Business Class
• Two large dogs, or a dog that will not share: Business Class
• Extra large dogs, or two or three large dogs: First Class
• A whole litter of Chihuahuas: First Class

Price against space

Sharing makes bigger kennels cheaper per dog. Two dogs in Business Class cost $59 plus $50 a night, while two dogs in separate Economy runs would cost $52 twice. Ask about the arrangement that suits your dogs.

What the finder cannot judge

It cannot assess temperament, age or mobility. A senior dog with stiff joints, or an energetic dog that paces, may prefer more room than its weight suggests. The staff confirm the run when you book, and a tour shows the sizes in person; tours run daily from 9 to 11 AM and 2 to 4 PM.

A few examples

A Beagle-sized pair from one home usually fits Economy together. A Labrador on a week-long stay is comfortable in Economy or Business Class. A Great Dane or Mastiff belongs in First Class.
