Extras like this are optional. The nightly rate already includes walks, medications and house food.
What you get
The Happy Pup Cup is a bonus treat added to a stay. The kennel lists it first among the happy extras on the rate sheet, with the Happy Lick Mat at $4.99, the Happy Pupsicle at $7.99, and additional picture play sessions at $14.99 per kennel or $19.99 for a bubble session. Its description mentions real bacon bits. If your dog has allergies, a restricted diet or a sensitive stomach, say so before ordering.
How to order
Mention it when you book or at drop-off, or call 707-678-6600. You can add it to a day care visit as well as a boarding stay. The extras are charged along with the rest of your balance at pick-up. If you want a treat on a particular day, such as a birthday, give the staff the date.
Treats and the diet
A single treat is a small part of a day, but it adds up with other treats and the house food. Dogs on prescription diets or with pancreatitis, allergies or weight problems should skip rich treats unless a vet approves. The kennel's all-inclusive rate also covers special feedings, so you do not need to buy a pup cup for your dog to be fed well.
Making one at home
A homemade version might be a spoonful of plain dog-safe food in a paper cup, a sprinkle of crumbled treats or a plain-yogurt dab if your dog tolerates dairy. Avoid chocolate, grapes, raisins, onions, xylitol and cooked bones. The what is a Happy Pup Cup page and the Happy Pup Cup page have the short version.

Etiquette for treats
Keep treats small and match them to the day. If your dog is on a diet, trim a bit from his meal to make up for it. If you are traveling with a friend who loves to share, remind them of any limits. At the kennel, tell the staff the date and any allergy; they can note it with the rest of the pet information. Extras are charged with your final balance at pick-up.
