How much does it cost to board a dog over Christmas?

Happy Paws charges the same 2026 nightly rates over Christmas, with a 50% non-refundable deposit due 30 days before drop-off for stays that begin in the holiday window. Six nights in Business Class is 6 x $59 = $354, with a deposit of $177. Please call to confirm.

The nightly price does not change for the holiday. The things that change are the deposit and the closing days.

A worked example

The balance is paid at pick-up. Extras such as baths are added at the end.

First Class6 x $72 = $432$216

Who owes the deposit

The 2026 rate sheet says the deposit applies to reservations that begin from seven days before through seven days after a major holiday. For Christmas 2026 that means arrivals from December 18 into January, and the window merges with New Year's Day to run through January 8, 2027. A stay that begins outside the window owes no deposit. Please call 707-678-6600 to confirm your dates.

If you cancel

A cancellation made at least 7 days before drop-off turns the deposit into a 100% credit on your account. Cancel with less than 7 days' notice and the deposit is forfeited.

Hours around the holiday

Christmas Eve closes at 3:00 PM, with the afternoon window from 1:00 to 3:00. On Christmas Day the kennel is closed all day. New Year's Eve closes at 3:00 PM again, and New Year's Day is a full closure. Plan drop-off and pick-up for the days that are open. See the Christmas and New Year page and the deposit checker.
