Getting here from Dixon

From town, take Highway 113 south toward Rio Vista and turn onto Midway Road; the kennel sits on Midway in open farm country. If you are not sure you are on the right road, look for the large white wind turbine near the property and keep heading toward it.

The drive is short, but Midway is a two-lane country road, so leave a few extra minutes if you are aiming for the 11:30 check-out.

Dixon households and pets

Dixon is a town of about 19,700 people in about 6,800 households, and by national ownership rates something like 3,100 of those homes have a dog and 2,200 a cat. Those are estimates from Census household counts and AVMA ownership shares, not a count of pets. About 41 percent of Dixon households have children.

A country stay five minutes from home

Each dog has its own indoor/outdoor run in one of three sizes: Economy (4x4 ft inside, $52 a night), Business Class (5x6 ft, $59) and First Class (6x8 ft, $72). Two dogs from the same home can share a run, and the second dog costs less. Cats stay in individual four-level towers with their own litter box and blanket.

Because it is a country kennel, dogs get the grass field and fenced play areas, and you can add a bath before pick-up so your dog comes home clean.

Day care for Dixon commuters

If you work long days in Davis or Sacramento, dog day care is $38 a day, or buy 10 days and get 12 for $380. The Dixon day care page has the details.

Licenses and local rules

Dixon dogs over four months need a license through Solano County Animal Care, which licenses for the city, and a current rabies vaccine is required to get one. The same rabies record is one of the vaccines the kennel needs on file before a stay. City parks ask that dogs stay leashed beside their person.
