The Happy Paws nightly rate includes your pet's kennel or condo, house food, walks, medications and bedding. Baths and a few extras such as extra picture play sessions are priced separately. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) A line-by-line list helps when you compare kennels, because a low nightly number can hide extra charges. Here is what sits inside the 2026 rate. ## Included in the nightly rate - The kennel or condo, with heat in winter and air conditioning in summer. - Kuranda raised bed and blankets in every dog run. - Leashes, bowls and balls. - Walks. - House food: grain-free kibble and wet food for dogs, farm-fresh eggs, hot dogs and treats; pate and chicken-and-rice kibble for cats. - Your own food in the original bag, at no charge. - Medications, at no extra charge. - The large fenced play areas and the grass field. ## Priced separately Customers often mention photos during a stay. Ask the kennel what is included before you book. Remember that the cat condo, food and medications are part of the nightly price, so a cat owner pays the $35 condo rate with nothing added for those lines. | Extra | 2026 rates | | --- | --- | | Happy Pup Cup | $4.99 | | Happy Lick Mat (peanut butter or cheese) | $4.99 | | Happy Pupsicle (frozen bell pepper, beef or chicken) | $7.99 | | Additional picture play session | $14.99 per kennel | | Additional bubble picture play session | $19.99 | | Baths | Please ask | ## The nightly rates One dog is $72 in First Class, $59 in Business Class and $52 in Economy. A cat condo is $35. Add the sharing and 14-night prices from the [2026 rates data page](https://happypawskennels.com/data/2026-boarding-rates/). ## The half-night rule The rate runs to check-out at 11:30 AM. Afternoon pick-up, 2:00 to 5:00 PM, is charged half of the nightly fee. A dog picked up in the morning pays only for the nights booked, so many owners plan the return trip for the morning window. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Happy Paws Kennels 2026 rate sheet (PDF)](https://happypawskennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2026-Rates-EFFECTIVE-1-1-26.pdf) - [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 - [2026 rates](https://happypawskennels.com/rates/) - [2026 rate table](https://happypawskennels.com/data/2026-boarding-rates/) - [Happy extras](https://happypawskennels.com/extras/) - [Food and special diets](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/food-and-special-diets/) - [Medications at no charge](https://happypawskennels.com/cat-boarding/medications-included/) - [Stay cost estimator](https://happypawskennels.com/tools/stay-cost-estimator/) - [FAQ](https://happypawskennels.com/faq/) ## Read next - [How much does it cost to board a dog over Christmas?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/how-much-does-it-cost-to-board-a-dog-over-christmas/) - [How much does it cost to board a large dog?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/how-much-does-it-cost-to-board-a-large-dog/) - [How much does it cost to board a small dog?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/how-much-does-it-cost-to-board-a-small-dog/) - [Do I need a reservation?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-i-need-a-reservation/) - [Can I book online?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/can-i-book-online/) - [What are your drop-off hours?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-are-your-drop-off-hours/) - [What time is check-out?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-time-is-check-out/) - [What happens if I pick up in the afternoon?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-happens-if-i-pick-up-in-the-afternoon/) Answers ## Questions people ask Still have a question?
