If you have 2 dogs coming to stay that are both puppies, do you charge the puppy rate for both?

We usually charge a lower rate for the second dog that we book but we have a request coming in for 2 puppies and I'm wondering if you charge the puppy rate for both or if you give a second dog discount still?

One puppy = extra work Two puppies = tons of more work

Explain to the client that your second dog discount is for adult dogs only.

Absolutely yes. I am just like you: tendency to feel guilty about money things. I just took care of two eight week old puppies for four days and I felt completely justified charging what I did. I actually would have felt comfortable charging even more.

It's always a gamble, because some puppies are a piece of cake, while others are a nightmare. Stay on the safe side, and charge the full puppy rate for each.

I'd recommend the puppy rate for both. Usually, the care for puppies justifies the higher rate - they do not qualify for a discount.

That's how I've been feeling but I was feeling guilty because we do have a 2nd rate (lower) posted on our page. But 1 isn't fully house trained yet which really is more work.

puppies are a lot of work, I would charge a standard rate and maybe make a note in your profile that a second dog discount does not apply to puppies.
