[Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) If you are in doubt, you can also come for a tour and speak with a manager in person. ## Why the call comes first Diabetes care depends on exact feeding times, doses and routines, and boarding is a change from home. The kennel's guidance is simple: a pet must be in good health to be accepted, and the manager decides after hearing about your pet. ## What to have ready Have your pet's age, weight, food and feeding times, current medication and your vet's name on hand. The pet information page of the [boarding agreement](https://happypawskennels.com/boarding-contract/) asks for health conditions, feeding times and amounts in cups. ## Medications Happy Paws gives medications at no extra charge. Whether the kennel can give your pet's specific treatment is the question to settle on the call, before you book. ## Other options The [diabetic pet guide](https://happypawskennels.com/guides/boarding-a-diabetic-pet/) covers what to ask any kennel. The [medications page](https://happypawskennels.com/cat-boarding/medications-included/) and [medication FAQ](https://happypawskennels.com/faq/medications/) have more. ## Questions to expect A manager will likely ask about the type of treatment, the timing, how stable your pet's numbers have been, and how your pet does in new places. Be candid. The best outcome is a decision that is right for your pet, even if that means a different plan for this trip. ## If you decide to tour Tours run every day at 9 to 11 AM and 2 to 4 PM with no appointment, and a manager can walk you through the kennel or the cattery and answer questions in person. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Happy Paws Kennels, things to know](https://happypawskennels.com/things-to-know/) - [Happy Paws Kennels boarding agreement (PDF)](https://happypawskennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Happy-Paws-Boarding-Agreement.pdf) ### 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 - [Boarding a diabetic dog or cat](https://happypawskennels.com/guides/boarding-a-diabetic-pet/) - [Medications and health](https://happypawskennels.com/faq/medications/) - [Medications at no charge](https://happypawskennels.com/cat-boarding/medications-included/) - [Tour the facility](https://happypawskennels.com/touring-the-facility/) - [Contact and directions](https://happypawskennels.com/contact/) - [FAQ](https://happypawskennels.com/faq/) ## Read next - [How far are you from Sacramento airport?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/how-far-are-you-from-sacramento-airport/) - [How do I find you?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/how-do-i-find-you-the-wind-turbine/) - [Do I need to fill out the boarding agreement if I have an online account?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-i-need-to-fill-out-the-boarding-agreement-if-i-have-an-online-account/) - [How do I upload vaccine records?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/how-do-i-upload-vaccine-records/) - [Will my dog be tired when I pick up?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/will-my-dog-be-tired-when-i-pick-up/) - [Why does my dog need a bath after a country stay?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/why-does-my-dog-need-a-bath-after-a-country-stay/) - [Do you take guests from out of state?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-you-take-guests-from-out-of-state/) - [Is parking easy?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/is-parking-easy/) Answers ## Questions people ask Still have a question?
