A card is the one method that matters for the two situations below. ## Accepted at the counter - Cash - Checks - Debit cards - Visa and Mastercard - American Express - Discover ## When a card matters A holiday deposit, due 30 days before drop-off, is a 50% payment ahead of the stay. For stays longer than four weeks, the kennel keeps a credit card on file and charges it every two weeks in advance. ## What the nightly rate includes The rates are all inclusive for the basics: walks, special feedings and giving medication carry no extra charge. Items you choose, such as a Happy Pup Cup at $4.99, a Happy Lick Mat at $4.99 or a Happy Pupsicle at $7.99, are added to the bill at the prices on the 2026 rate sheet. ## Reading your bill Your total is the nightly rate times the number of nights, plus half a night if you pick up between 2:00 and 5:00 PM, plus any extras. The stay estimator on this site works the same sum before you book. ## Paying for extras Extras are added to the same bill. An additional picture play session is $14.99 per kennel, and a bubble picture play session is $19.99. Day care by the hour is $7 an hour up to the $38 daily rate. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Happy Paws Kennels rates page](https://happypawskennels.com/rates/) - [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 - [2026 rates](https://happypawskennels.com/rates/) - [Do I pay when I drop off or pick up?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-i-pay-when-i-drop-off-or-pick-up/) - [Do you bill long stays in advance?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-you-bill-long-stays-in-advance/) - [Payment](https://happypawskennels.com/faq/payment/) - [Stay cost estimator](https://happypawskennels.com/tools/stay-cost-estimator/) - [FAQ](https://happypawskennels.com/faq/) ## Read next - [Do I pay when I drop off or pick up?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-i-pay-when-i-drop-off-or-pick-up/) - [Do you charge extra to give medication?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-you-charge-extra-to-give-medication/) - [Do you charge extra if I bring my own food?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-you-charge-extra-if-i-bring-my-own-food/) - [What food do you feed?](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/what-food-do-you-feed/) - [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/) Answers ## Questions people ask Still have a question?
