Yes. The first page of the boarding agreement asks for your veterinarian or clinic, and the medical release on page four explains what happens if your pet needs care while you are away. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) Most stays end with a tired, happy pet. The vet line is there for the rare stay that does not, and it is easiest to fill in before you leave home. ## What to write down Put the name of the clinic, its phone number and the name of your regular veterinarian. If you use an emergency hospital as well, add it. This is the first place the staff look if they have a health question about a record or a medication. ## What the medical release covers The agreement gives the kennel permission to obtain veterinary care at your expense if it is deemed necessary, and you authorize the release of medical information. It also notes that a fully vaccinated pet can still catch a contagious illness. Read the form in full, because it is a legal document, and ask a staff member if a line is unclear. ## Who is called first If something comes up, the staff contact you first, then any additional contact, then your emergency contact. The emergency contact is a person who is not traveling with you and who can decide and pick up your pet. ## Choose a treatment level Page four lets you record health conditions, age-related concerns and pet insurance, and choose how far treatment should go if nobody can be reached. Think it over before the trip and talk with your veterinarian if you want guidance. ## Vaccine records Records come from your clinic too. Ask the office to send them, or upload them to your account; see [how to send vaccine records](https://happypawskennels.com/vaccines/sending-vaccine-records/). They must stay current through the end of the stay. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Happy Paws Kennels boarding agreement (PDF)](https://happypawskennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Happy-Paws-Boarding-Agreement.pdf) - [Happy Paws Kennels things to know](https://happypawskennels.com/things-to-know/) ### 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 - [What is the medical release form?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-is-the-medical-release-form/) - [What if my pet gets sick?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-if-my-pet-gets-sick/) - [Who is my emergency contact for?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/who-is-my-emergency-contact-for/) - [What information do you need about my pet?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-information-do-you-need-about-my-pet/) - [How to send vaccine records](https://happypawskennels.com/vaccines/sending-vaccine-records/) - [FAQ](https://happypawskennels.com/faq/) ## Read next - [Do you offer cat day care?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-you-offer-cat-day-care/) - [Do you board guinea pigs and hamsters?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-you-board-guinea-pigs-and-hamsters/) - [What is a Happy Pupsicle?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-is-a-happy-pupsicle/) - [What is a bubble picture play session?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-is-a-bubble-picture-play-session/) - [What is a Happy Lick Mat?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-is-a-happy-lick-mat/) - [Can three dogs share a kennel?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/can-three-dogs-share-a-kennel/) - [Do dogs go outside?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-dogs-go-outside/) - [When did the new kennel building open?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/when-did-the-new-kennel-building-open/) Answers ## Questions people ask Still have a question?
