Things To Know for Boarding Your Dog in the ACT

We know that each dog is unique, which is why we tailor our care to their individual needs. Our experienced staff provide plenty of attention, regular health checks, and a safe, fun environment so your dog is happy and healthy during their stay.

All dogs staying with us need to be up-to-date on their vaccinations (C5 or equivalent) and be up to date with flea and tick treatment. We are also able to care for dogs that aren’t desexed, but we do not accept dogs that are in heat.

If you’d like to view our facilities in the ACT, we recommend booking a time in advance. Unfortunately, we can’t offer tours at short notice or during drop-off hours to avoid disruptions for our guests.

I like to believe that our dog is their favorite, but maybe they make everyone feel like that. It's certain that going here is our dogs favorite activity!

Me and my Noodlyhead love Kip Brunswick, thanks for taking such good care of her when I have to go to work... She always has a ball and I love updates of her having a great time!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 🐕💚

Sophie Potts

Awesome little puppy school and day care ! We took our 10 week old puppy there for school and they treated him so well, we got one on one care and advice and they took the most gorgeous graduation photo!

Maxine Jones

My border collie cross Olivewas a recent adoption from RSPCA when she had her first stay at Kip Ipswich. She returned to me happy and settled then on her second stay at Kip she greeted staff so enthusiastically that I know I can always count on her being happy there. Thanks Kip for the updates and for taking such good care of Olive.

Antz

Great place with caring and friendly staff and competitive prices. Our dog absolutely loves it here and we love how they keep us informed with photos and videos through the day, and they also provide feedback when we pick her up.

Tori Darrington

It actually would of been rude of me, not to write a review!! My mini dachshund goes here, and unlike other schools they do not have the dangerous equipment i was anxious about. The daycare was super friendly, nice, reassuring and patient with my baby... I received a report card on his first day, and in great detail which means they really do not over look anything. You have you own account, and not only receive updates but little personal videos, along with the ones posted on Instagram. Kip is everywhere, and your account is connected, so it is super convenient and i would totally recommend for anyone looking! Thank you!!! x

Simon Stanistreet
