[Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) Sizes below are approximate square feet from the kennel's tour page, with the 2026 nightly rate for one dog. ## The three classes Each run is an indoor room plus an outdoor area, joined by a doggie door. | Class | Inside | Outside | Best for | One dog, 2026 rates | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Economy | 4x4 ft, about 16 sq ft | about 48 sq ft | Several small or medium dogs, or one large dog | $52 per night | | Business Class | 5x6 ft, about 30 sq ft | about 60 sq ft | A pair of large dogs, or one who does not like to share | $59 per night | | First Class | 6x8 ft, about 48 sq ft | about 72 sq ft | Extra large dogs, two or three large dogs, or a litter of Chihuahuas | $72 per night | ## Which building Economy runs are in the original 1971 building. The building that opened in October 2022 has ten First Class runs and forty Business Class runs. ## Choosing A single small dog is comfortable in Economy. A large dog who likes room to turn around often does better in Business Class, and giants or trios belong in First Class. The [kennel class finder](https://happypawskennels.com/tools/kennel-class-finder/) asks a few questions and the [sizes compared page](https://happypawskennels.com/data/kennel-sizes-compared/) shows more detail. ## Sharing Dogs from the same home can share. Each additional dog sharing a kennel is about 15% off, which is $44, $50 or $61 depending on class. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Happy Paws Kennels, tour the facility](https://happypawskennels.com/touring-the-facility/) - [Happy Paws Kennels 2026 rate sheet (PDF)](https://happypawskennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2026-Rates-EFFECTIVE-1-1-26.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 - [Economy Class kennel](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/economy-class-kennel/) - [Business Class kennel](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/business-class-kennel/) - [First Class kennel](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/first-class-kennel/) - [Which kennel class does my dog need?](https://happypawskennels.com/guides/choosing-a-kennel-class/) - [Which kennel class?](https://happypawskennels.com/tools/kennel-class-finder/) - [FAQ](https://happypawskennels.com/faq/) ## Read next - [How many runs do you have?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/how-many-runs-do-you-have/) - [Will my dog be lonely?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/will-my-dog-be-lonely/) - [What if my pet gets sick?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-if-my-pet-gets-sick/) - [What is the medical release form?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-is-the-medical-release-form/) - [Who is my emergency contact for?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/who-is-my-emergency-contact-for/) - [What if I am delayed coming back?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-if-i-am-delayed-coming-back/) - [Do you board rabbits and birds?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-you-board-rabbits-and-birds/) - [Do I bring the cage for a small pet?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-i-bring-the-cage-for-a-small-pet/) Answers ## Questions people ask Still have a question?

Please ask when you tour, since the tour page lists the outdoor area sizes but not the roofing. ### Can two big dogs share Economy? Economy fits several small or medium dogs or one large dog, so two large dogs belong in Business Class or First Class.
