The data pages answer them with sources. ## About the kennel The rate table lists every 2026 price on one page, from $52 to $72 for dogs by class and $35 for cats. The kennel sizes page compares the three runs, and the holiday deposit calendar lists the 2026 and 2027 windows. The bath chart shows the 2024 prices and asks you to confirm today's. ## About the area Dixon heat and cold by month for dogs uses National Weather Service normals for the nearest stations. Drive times are free-flow estimates, so allow extra on country roads such as Midway Road. Pet households are estimates built from census household counts and national pet-ownership shares, and they are not a count of the dogs in any town. ## About the rules Dog licensing differs between Solano and Yolo counties, and the licensing page compares them. California's pet boarding facility law, Health and Safety Code sections 122380 to 122388, is explained in plain English. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Happy Paws Kennels 2026 rate sheet (PDF)](https://happypawskennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2026-Rates-EFFECTIVE-1-1-26.pdf) - [NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/normals-monthly/1991-2020/access/USC00049200.csv) - [U.S. Census Bureau](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs) ### 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.
