**Kennel sizes (live facility page + 2026 rate sheet)**

| Kennel | Interior (rate sheet) | Inside, about | Outside, about | Fits (facility page) | 1 dog, per night |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| First Class | 6x8 ft | 48 sq ft | 72 sq ft | Extra large dogs, two or three large dogs, or a whole litter of Chihuahuas | $72 |
| Business Class | 5x6 ft | 30 sq ft | 60 sq ft | A pair of large dogs, or one who doesn't like to share | $59 |
| Economy Class | 4x4 ft | 16 sq ft | 48 sq ft | Several small or medium dogs, or one large dog | $52 |

The kennel has 100 indoor/outdoor runs. Dogs can see each other and interact through the fence but have their own space, and every dog can choose to be inside, air-conditioned in summer and heated in winter, or outside in the fresh country air.

## Three kennel sizes

Economy Class runs are about 16 square feet inside with another 48 outside, a great size for several small or medium dogs or one large dog. Business Class runs are about 30 square feet inside and 60 outside, right for a pair of large dogs or one who does not like to share. First Class runs are the largest, about 48 square feet inside and 72 outside, for extra large dogs, two or three large dogs, or a whole litter of Chihuahuas.

## For the cats

The cattery has individual four-level towers. Each cat has its own litter box and a cozy blanket, and the room has a cat tree and cat houses to play and hide in.

## When you visit

Staff may be in the middle of cleaning, so watch your step around hoses and on wet concrete, which can be slippery. A staff member will walk with you the whole time.
