Why Melbourne Dog Parents Love Kip Daycare

It’s not just fur and flying, though. Our crew are part qualified trainers, part dog-obsessed legends who read a tail wag faster than a tram timetable. Each day is built around balanced play, calm rest and just the right dose of enrichment.
We’re big on pupdates, too. Nothing perks up a workday like a photo of your dog mid-zoom or mid-snooze. We’ll send plenty your way. By the time you pick them up, you’ll have one happy, sleepy sidekick.
