Kip Blackburn is AMAZING. They take such good care of my little Toy Cavoodle, Apple Crumble. Not only that, she has gained so much confidence around other dogs since going there. HIGHLY recommend.

Great place for your dog while your in the office or out on site

Bille Gore

My dog had a good first day and the people were absolutely lovely. He went in shaky and scared but came out with a smile on his face.

Erin Dowling

This place is amazing not only for us but most importantly, our young Border Collie. Cooper loves coming here and is well taken care of, gets his fill of socialising and comes home all tuckered out after a long and happy day. The staff are so friendly, supportive and provide honest feedback so we know we’re leaving him in good hands. Thank you!

nadee senavirathna

Love this place . Nugget ( Jack Russell) loves this place too . He comes home super tired every single time and Iove the regular update photos ☺️

Justin

Thor has been attending day care at Kip for the last 4 years. Staff are friendly and the best part is Thor is knackered when he gets home after a full day of playing with the other dogs.

Jan Douglas

staff were very welcoming to me and my doggie. She was gently taken in to meet the other doggies. Love the report card and photos sent to me . I felt very confident leaving my girl here.

Cat Wright

Love this place for my super beany baby. They manage my high energy lab beautifully and Lola looks forward to seeing them and all of her friends each week.

Susan Goslin

My Dog has been going to kip in Blackburn since she was a pup. She can't wait to get out of the car as she is so excited for a play date. The staff have all been amazing, friendly and caring. I am very happy to recommend Kip.

Susan Kelly

Our dog Finn knows as soon as we get his collar on that it’s his day to go to Kip. He’s so excited all the way there and we can barely hold him back in reception as he just wants to play with his friends. We couldn’t be happier with his care and the photo updates throughout the day are a fantastic bonus.

Jasmine Ong

My dog goes once a week and it's the highlight of her week! The attendants are wonderful and caring, they take photos and give me a verbal update when I pick her up. They also have special events e.g. last week "Pups and Prose". I love that I can go to work knowing my dog will be well looked after whilst having a blast.

qin xue

Very friendly staff and always take good care of my dog. Masiy loves the staff and dog friends at the daycare and sometimes she doesn’t want to go home with me 🤦‍♀️🤭

Pattie S

Great team. Maxie always comes home happy and tired! Highly recommend.

Carissa Hurley

I wouldn't hesitate to send your dog here - our dog Lola has been attending for months now and she absolutely loves it! Receiving the photo's and videos of her there makes it a great experience for us too, they put your pet in with animals that suit yours so you know they will be having the time of their life whilst there. We love Kip Dog Daycare!!

Absolute 5 stars for the team at KIP Blackburn. They welcomed and looked after my puppy Billy with the utmost care, from Billy's first day you can see how much fun he had and made new mates! I know that he is looking forward to his next day with such a great team and the photo updates are brilliant! Thank you so much.

Deb Mc

Five stars for my pup’s experience at doggy day care! From the moment I dropped off my pup, I knew she was in good hands. The staff's genuine love for dogs was evident, and my pup received top-notch care and attention throughout the morning. The facilities were clean, spacious, and equipped with everything a dog could dream of. Most importantly, my pup came home happy, tired, and ready for a good snooze after being filled with playtime and socialisation. I’m incredibly grateful for the wonderful care provided by the team and I highly recommend KIP Doggy Daycare to any pet parent seeking a safe and fun environment for their beloved canine companion

Lindsey Bray

Lili had a lovely first stay - she was nice and relaxed when she came home - will be back again.

Stuart Cornell

Brilliant team, great place. Highly reccomend dropping your pup off there for fun and games. Our 7 month old staff loves it and is exhausted when she comes home afterwards

CLARE HOLMES

Opal just had her first day at Kip. I appreciated the updates and felt they actually took the time to get to know my girl. She was asleep less than 60 seconds into the drive home so 10/10 from me.
