Happy Paws Kennels is open regular hours all four days, and no holiday deposit window is close. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) February is the stretch between the winter holidays and Easter, with no closure days at the kennel. A getaway weekend here is a plain stay at the sheet rates. ## The four-day calendar **Drop-off and pick-up: 7:30 to 11:30 AM and 2:00 to 5:00 PM.** | Day | Date | Kennel | | --- | --- | --- | | Friday | Feb 12, 2027 | Regular hours | | Saturday | Feb 13 | Regular hours | | Sunday (Valentine's Day) | Feb 14 | Regular hours | | Monday (Presidents' Day) | Feb 15 | Regular hours | ## Why there is no deposit to plan for The 2026 sheet asks for a 50 percent deposit only for stays beginning within seven days of a major holiday. Presidents' Day and Valentine's Day are not among the days the kennel closes for. The nearest closure day before is New Year's Day, and its window ended January 8; the nearest after is Easter, whose window starts March 21, 2027. A February stay sits in the clear between them. The sheet never names the major holidays, so call 707-678-6600 to confirm, or use the [holiday deposit checker](https://happypawskennels.com/tools/holiday-deposit-checker/). ## What a Presidents' Day stay costs Take one dog from Friday, February 12 to Tuesday, February 16. That is four nights. In First Class on the 2026 rates it is 4 x $72 = $288. Business Class is 4 x $59 = $236, and Economy is 4 x $52 = $208. A cat condo is 4 x $35 = $140. Two dogs from one household sharing a kennel get the sharing rate on the second dog, listed on the [rates page](https://happypawskennels.com/rates/). ## Valentine's weekend and the pet Couples away for a romantic trip and families heading to the coast both book this week. If you want something to make the stay feel special for the dog, the 2026 extras include a Happy Pup Cup at $4.99 and a Happy Lick Mat at $4.99, and a Happy Pupsicle at $7.99. Ask at drop-off. ## February weather in Dixon NOAA's 1991-2020 normals for Vacaville, about 8 miles away, put February highs near 63 degrees and lows near 42, with about 5.14 inches of rain on average and rain on about 11 days. February can be wet, and the outdoor part of each run is open air with the indoor room a doggie door away, so a dog that wants to stay dry can. The dogs are walked as part of the stay. ## Campus and commuter notes UC Davis observes Presidents' Day, February 15, as a campus holiday, so Davis households get the same long weekend. The kennel is about 21 minutes from Davis. See [Davis](https://happypawskennels.com/areas/davis/) for the route, and [MLK Day weekend](https://happypawskennels.com/occasions/mlk-day-weekend/) if you also travel in January. ### 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 hours page](https://happypawskennels.com/hours/) - [U.S. Office of Personnel Management - federal holidays](https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/federal-holidays/) - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020 (Vacaville station)](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/normals-monthly/1991-2020/access/USC00049200.csv) ### Before your first stay - [Vaccination records](https://happypawskennels.com/vaccination-requirements/) current through pick-up day - A signed [boarding agreement](https://happypawskennels.com/boarding-contract/) - Pets 16 weeks or older - [Bring nothing but your pet](https://happypawskennels.com/what-to-bring/) ### Visit or call 6677 Midway Road, Dixon, CA 95620 [707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) | Drop-off and pick-up, every day | 7:30 to 11:30 AM and 2:00 to 5:00 PM | | --- | --- | | Tours, every day (no appointment) | 9:00 to 11:00 AM and 2:00 to 4:00 PM | [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin) ### Related - [Hours and holiday closures](https://happypawskennels.com/hours/) - [Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend boarding](https://happypawskennels.com/occasions/mlk-day-weekend/) - [Spring break boarding](https://happypawskennels.com/occasions/spring-break/) - [Easter weekend boarding](https://happypawskennels.com/occasions/easter/) - [Stay cost estimator](https://happypawskennels.com/tools/stay-cost-estimator/) - [2026 rates](https://happypawskennels.com/rates/) ## Price your stay Drop-off Pick-up Pick-up time By 11:30 AM Afternoon Dogs Cats Kennel class for your dogs Options My dogs share one kennel My cats share one condo Active military family Your estimate Pick your dates to see an estimate from the 2026 rate sheet.

They offers tours, have A/C and/or heat. They always look and smell super clean. They even filter the indoor air. They email pics of them playing. I have 2 large breeds that share a 1st class kennel. They even offer treats and baths. So nice to have a place I trust. Everyone is... Deanna M., Google review, July 2026 This place is fantastic! I have one super easy going dog and one that is very much the opposite, she takes a long time to be comfortable with strangers and can be aggressive. I chose Happy Paws originally because the dogs can go in and out without having to be put on a leash. I am so happy I made that decision. Now my...
