Boarding for a hospital stay, a medical trip or a long visit away can be stressful, and a calm, clean kennel helps. Read [boarding during a hospital stay](https://happypawskennels.com/occasions/hospital-stay/). Medications are given at no extra charge, and walks are included in the nightly rate. ## Budget and long-term options Economy is $52 a night on the 2026 rates, $47 for a stay of 14 nights or more. A 14-night Economy stay for one dog is 14 x $47 = $658. Cats are $35 a night. If you need more than four weeks, a card on file is charged every two weeks in advance. ## What to bring Almost nothing but your pet. One toy that is not the favorite, a slow-feeder bowl if your dog uses one, and medications in their original container are enough. Metal pinch (prong) collars come off before check-in, and your own food is welcome at no charge in the original bag with amounts in cups.

Highly recommended. Macielo S., Google review, October 2025 Happy paws always takes really good care of our fur-child. Our doggo had bad pancreatitis earlier this year that put her on a super specific diet. They accommodated us with no issues. The staff is friendly and patient with us over anxious pet parents. We hate having to leave out doggo out from any trip we take, but... Jens D., Google review, September 2025 Answers ## Dunnigan questions Still have a question?
