Boarding prices vary a lot, and the cheapest option isn't always the best value. Here's what actually drives the cost — and what to look for beyond the number.
What affects the price
- Room type — a standard suite versus a premium one
- Length of stay and time of year (holidays book up fast)
- Number of pets from the same family
- Extras like bathing, water-park sessions or pickup
- Level of care — spacious private suites and camera-monitored, live-in staffing cost more to run than a basic kennel, for good reason
Cheap can be expensive
A low nightly rate often means bigger groups, less supervision and cages. If your dog comes home stressed, that's a hidden cost. Welfare-first care is an investment in a happier, calmer pet.
