[Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) [Usually fits an Economy Class kennel $52 a night ยท 4 x 4 ft inside](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/economy-class-kennel/) - **Weight (breed standard):** 4 to 9 lb - **Kennel:** Economy Class, 4 x 4 ft - **Per night:** $52 - **Bath (2024 chart):** $20 to $25 A Toy Fox Terrier weighs 4 to 9 pounds with a short satin coat, so it fits an Economy kennel at $52 a night on the 2026 rates. On the 2024 bath chart, a dog of 15 pounds or less is $20 to $25 for a short coat. The AKC describes a diminutive satin-coated terrier with an amusing toy-dog personality, truly a toy and a terrier. They began as barnyard ratters and are today beguiling companions with a big personality. ## A very small dog in a very comfortable run The AKC lists the breed at 8.5 to 11.5 inches and 4 to 9 pounds. An Economy kennel, about 16 square feet inside and 48 outside, is already large for a dog that size, and it costs $52 a night on the 2026 rates. A pair from one home shares it for $52 plus $44. ## The satin coat The coat is short, fine and glossy. On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, the smallest weight row (15 pounds or less) is $20 in the extra-short column and $25 in the short column. Please ask which applies and confirm the price. Almost nothing tangles, so a bath is a treat rather than a need. ## Terrier personality, toy size A Toy Fox Terrier is playful, alert and quick, with a terrier's habit of chasing movement. Walks are included, and a leash walk plus the play areas gives a small dog plenty of exercise. Pick one small toy from home that is not the favorite, because a Toy Fox may guard it. The AKC lists a life expectancy of 13 to 15 years, so some boarders are seniors who want warmth and quiet. ## Warmth for a thin coat A short coat on a tiny body loses heat quickly. The runs are heated in winter, and each has a Kuranda bed and a blanket to burrow under. In summer, nearby Vacaville, the closest weather station, averages about 100 days a year at 90 degrees or higher, so the air-conditioned indoor run is the safe choice in the afternoon. ## Getting a Toy Fox Terrier ready to board Upload the vaccine records, keep the dog in the car at check-in, and let staff walk your Toy Fox in. Hot pavement is hard on small paws, and staff may scoop and hurry. Write any food amounts in cups and list medications, which are given at no extra charge. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [American Kennel Club - Toy Fox Terrier breed page](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/toy-fox-terrier/) - [Happy Paws Kennels 2026 rate sheet (PDF)](https://happypawskennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2026-Rates-EFFECTIVE-1-1-26.pdf) - [Happy Paws Kennels bathing rates effective January 1, 2024](https://happypawskennels.com/rates/) - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/normals-monthly/1991-2020/access/) ### 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.
