Drive time is free-flow and runs slow on Midway Road; allow extra time. American Canyon is the southern gateway to Napa County, and many of its households have children. ## Quick facts - About 47 minutes and 33.7 miles from American Canyon - Interstate 80 for 24.2 miles, Highway 29 for under a mile - Drop-off and pick-up every day in two windows ## Highway 29 to Interstate 80 The route starts on American Canyon Road, touches Highway 29 for less than a mile and then follows Interstate 80 east for 24.2 miles. It finishes on Midway Road, a two-lane country road. The 47 minutes are free-flow with no traffic, and the Interstate 80 corridor through Vallejo and Fairfield is where extra time shows up. Because of the distance, plan for a stay of several days rather than a single overnight. The morning window, 7:30 to 11:30 AM, suits owners flying out of the Bay Area; the afternoon window, 2:00 to 5:00 PM, suits owners heading to Tahoe. ## A town of young households American Canyon has about 21,700 residents in about 6,000 households. About 45 percent of households have children under 18, well above the Napa County figure of about 29 percent. The median household income is about $121,700, the median home was built in 1998 and about 74 percent of households own their home. By national AVMA ownership shares, about 2,700 households have a dog and 1,900 a cat, an estimate. With children at home, vacations follow school calendars, so it pays to ask early for [spring break](https://happypawskennels.com/occasions/spring-break/) and [summer vacation](https://happypawskennels.com/occasions/summer-vacation/). ## Run choices for households with two dogs Two dogs from one home can share a run. Business Class is 5x6 ft inside with about 60 sq ft outside, $59 a night for the first dog and $50 for a second dog sharing. First Class is 6x8 ft inside and $72, with $61 for a second dog. Cats are $35 a night, and a second cat in the same condo is $30. Dogs choose between the inside and outside through a doggie door, and each run has a Kuranda bed and blankets. ## Local animal services The City of American Canyon contracts with the Napa County Animal Shelter, 942 Hartle Court, Napa, for animal control services. Dogs need a current rabies vaccine and a license, and the same rabies record is the first one the kennel asks for. ## Booking and holidays Request a stay online or call 707-678-6600. Holiday stays that begin within 7 days before or after a major holiday carry a 50 percent deposit due 30 days ahead, so for Thanksgiving or Christmas plan early and call to confirm. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://api.census.gov/data/2024/acs/acs5) - [City of American Canyon - Community Cat Program](https://www.americancanyon.gov/Live/Local-Resources/Community-Cat-Program) - [Happy Paws Kennels 2026 rate sheet (PDF)](https://happypawskennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2026-Rates-EFFECTIVE-1-1-26.pdf) ### 2026 nightly rates - First Class kennel $72 - Business Class kennel $59 - Economy Class kennel $52 - Cat condo $35 All-inclusive: food, medications and walks. 2026 rates, effective for reservations made on or after Jan 1, 2026.

Well treated heat and AC all is good. They send me photos of them and they're very very friendly staff. I highly recommend HAPPY PAWS to anyone. Marc B., Google review, August 2026 I love this place and so do the dogs. They offers tours, have A/C and/or heat. They always look and smell super clean. They even filter the indoor air. They email pics of them playing. I have 2 large breeds that share a 1st class kennel. They even offer treats and baths. So nice to have a place I trust. Everyone is...
