The Happy Pup Cup at Happy Paws Kennels is $4.99 on the 2026 rates, and the kennel describes its pup cups as made with real bacon bits. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) 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](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-is-a-happy-pup-cup/) page and [the Happy Pup Cup page](https://happypawskennels.com/extras/happy-pup-cup/) have the short version. ## See also Read [happy extras](https://happypawskennels.com/extras/), [lick mat](https://happypawskennels.com/glossary/lick-mat/) and [lick mats and frozen treats](https://happypawskennels.com/guides/lick-mats-and-frozen-treats/). ## 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. ### 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) - [Happy Paws Kennels, things to know](https://happypawskennels.com/things-to-know/) ### 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.
