Bring it in its original bag with amounts in cups. There is no charge for feeding your own food. Tell the staff about allergies on the boarding agreement. ## First-day appetite Some first-time boarders skip a meal or two. Staff offer enticing treats, such as hot dogs, if a pet keeps refusing. The guide on [a dog who will not eat at boarding](https://happypawskennels.com/guides/dog-not-eating-at-boarding/) explains what is normal. ## Special diets and allergies If your pet has a food allergy, write it on the boarding agreement and bring the food in its original bag, with amounts in cups. Feeding your own food costs nothing extra. The nightly rate covers either choice. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Happy Paws Kennels things to know](https://happypawskennels.com/things-to-know/) - [Happy Paws Kennels rates page](https://happypawskennels.com/rates/) ### 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 - [Food and special diets](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/food-and-special-diets/) - [Do you charge extra if I bring my own food?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-you-charge-extra-if-i-bring-my-own-food/) - [Food and treats](https://happypawskennels.com/faq/food/) - [My dog won't eat the first day at boarding](https://happypawskennels.com/guides/dog-not-eating-at-boarding/) - [Cat boarding](https://happypawskennels.com/cat-boarding/) - [FAQ](https://happypawskennels.com/faq/) ## Read next - [Can my dogs share a kennel?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/can-my-dogs-share-a-kennel/) - [Can my cats share a condo?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/can-my-cats-share-a-condo/) - [Do you take intact dogs?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-you-take-intact-dogs/) - [How old does my puppy need to be?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/how-old-does-my-puppy-need-to-be/) - [Which vaccines do you require?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/which-vaccines-do-you-require/) - [Do you require the canine flu vaccine?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-you-require-the-canine-flu-vaccine/) - [Can I bring my dog's bed?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/can-i-bring-my-dogs-bed/) - [Can I bring toys?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/can-i-bring-toys/) Answers ## Questions people ask Still have a question?
