Drive time is free-flow and runs slow on Midway Road; allow extra time. For a Winters household the question is not price but route. The trip works best on days when your own commute already points toward Dixon, Vacaville or the Interstate 80 corridor. ## Quick facts - About 29 minutes each way, 17.0 miles - $38 a day, or $7 an hour up to $38 - 12 days for $380 with Buy 10 get 12 - Second dog sharing a kennel: $32 a day ## Is it a daily trip from Winters? The drive is about 7.4 miles on Interstate 505, 1.4 on Highway 128 and the rest on Hemenway Street and Midway Road, around 29 minutes each way in free-flowing traffic. That is about 58 minutes a day, which is long for five days a week but reasonable for one or two days or for a block of days. The 12-day package suits the second case. If you plan a long day that starts in Dixon, Vacaville or on Interstate 80, the kennel sits on the way. ## Winters households Winters has about 2,462 households, and about 36 percent have children under 18. On national ownership shares about 1,120 would have a dog. It is an estimate, not a count of dogs. Yolo County requires a license for every dog over four months, and the license cannot outlast the rabies vaccine. The record you use for the license is the one the kennel needs, plus distemper/parvo and Bordetella. Canine influenza is recommended but not required. ## Costs by the day, hour and package One dog is $38 a day, or $7 an hour with the charge capped at the daily rate. A second dog from the same home sharing a kennel is $32 a day. Two days a week for six weeks is 12 days, which fits one $380 package. For two dogs per kennel the package is $700. ## Drop-off windows Drop-off and pick-up run 7:30 to 11:30 AM and 2:00 to 5:00 PM, with the office closed in between. A morning arrival and an afternoon collection give a dog most of the day. Holidays are the exception: see the [day care FAQ](https://happypawskennels.com/faq/day-care/) for closures. ## When a day turns into a stay Dogs can move from day care to a night or a week in a run; see the [Winters boarding page](https://happypawskennels.com/areas/winters/) for sizes and rates. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://api.census.gov/data/2024/acs/acs5) - [AVMA 2024 pet ownership shares](https://www.avma.org/news/pet-population-continues-increase-while-pet-spending-declines) - [Happy Paws Kennels 2026 rate sheet (PDF)](https://happypawskennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2026-Rates-EFFECTIVE-1-1-26.pdf) - [Yolo County Animal Services licensing (DocuPet)](https://ycas.docupet.com/en_US/licensing) ### 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.

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.
