## Is it worth the miles?

For short trips, a closer kennel makes sense. For two weeks or longer, the 14-night reduced rate makes the drive pay off: Economy is $47 a night instead of $52, and a 14-night stay is 14 x $47 = $658 on the 2026 rates.

## A stay that fits a long trip

Galt owners who go away for a few weeks can use the long-term plan: the reduced rate from the 14th night, a card on file charged every two weeks for stays past four weeks, and medications given at no extra charge. House food is included, or bring your own. The [long-term boarding page](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/long-term-dog-boarding/) covers it.

## Questions to settle before you go

Pets must be 16 weeks or older and current on vaccines through the end of the stay. Dogs need rabies, distemper/parvo, Bordetella and canine influenza; cats need rabies and FVRCP. All breeds are welcome, neutered or intact. Walks are included. Then request your dates through Book / My Account, and the kennel will confirm. If you have questions, call 707-678-6600 before you drive.

Clean and well organized, with a friendly, helpful staff. Our two pitties love their periodic "vacation" stays at Happy Paws! We live an hour away, but it's well worth the drive. Highly recommended.

Tim N., Google review, April 2026

Just picked up my pup Loki from a 4 day stay, the staff was extremely kind and helpful. We cannot be more happy with the level of care and pictures uploaded while we were away. Loki even got a bath before pick up! Which I highly recommend. We plan to use them whenever we have the need.
