Our high-energy girl always comes home tired, and it gives me peace of mind knowing she is being looked after and having fun while we’re at work.

Kip is amazing. Our pup started this week and he loves it and comes home exhausted! All the girls/guys are amazing and send updates during the day. We love seeing the videos that we get and have already booked Banks for two days next week!

Antara Pednekar

Our puppy loves going here. The staff are very kind and pay good attention to our dog. I love how they share video updates every couple of hours for our peace of mind. It’s also very cute to see our doggo enjoy herself here.

Linda Bowler

The staff at KIP Thomastown are wonderful. My dog Zuki is so excited when he gets there each week he bangs on the door every time. KIP is fantastic for his socialisation and the weekly activities are wonderful. I go to work with my mind at ease that he is in good care and having fun. Video updates always bring a smile to my face. Don’t hesitate to book your fur baby in. You won’t be disappointed.

Kaine Sheppard

Wally loves kip thomastown he has been going since he was a little puppy! All staff are amazing with him and have taught him lots of good habits and it’s amazing seeing all the videos and photos of his day We would highly recommend Kip Thomastown to everyone

Chris Beare

My Honey absolutely loves her day care days and is super excited everytime we walk in the door. The staff are incredibly kind and patient, and go out of their way to greet each dog parent with a smile and warmth. The daily update via email and the instagram highlight reels just adds to the excitment and I truly appreciate these little glimpses into Honey's fun day. I am able to work happily knowing she is having a ball. I particularly love the weekly focus as these tasks are often something we can continue with at home. I am also extremely impressed with the donation efforts throughout the year in supporting local animal rescues - this makes me very happy to contribute to. There is a strong sense of community that extends beyond Kip Doggy DayCare as an organisation. I highly recommend the Thomastown Team.

Bastiaan van Soest

Our dog, Cooper, spends a day here every week and absolutely loves it. The team is incredible and it's great to have found a place where I can leave him for the day to have fun with other dogs and be safe. We receive a video update whenever he's here and highly recommend their Facebook photos and Instagram reels.

Luke C

Wonderful place with great staff

Adam Leary

Awesome staff, massive area and well maintained facilities. You get a video update of your pup and what they’re up to. Staff learn about your pup and give you updates at the end of the day - also provide advice and guidance. Puppy goes in full of beans and comes out absolutely tuckered out 🙌. Always comes back smelling nice and looking fresh. You can also purchase baths and additional services which are well priced and definitely worth it.

Rital Lakshman

We send our 4 year old golden retriever here for over 2 years now and he absolutely loves it. The attendants are all lovely and take such good care of him. Our dog has special diet requirements which they cater for and we get daily video updates of his day which is always comforting. Highly recommended and we value how much love and care they give to our dog Alfie!

sarah crowley

My dog Maple loves going here and always comes home happy and tired. I love the update video they send when she's there. Makes my day happier ☺️

Nicole Turner

Jessica M

Started taking my dog here when she was 3 months old (she is now 7 months). I think it is her favourite place in the world! She adores the staff and loves playing with the other pups. There are so many updates throughout the day across the private PetBooking dashboard, Instagram stories, & Facebook posts which I adore. The staff have always offered in-depth advice if there is anything they've picked up on, and her needs are definitely met as an active puppy. Extremely happy with Kip Thomastown :-)

Julie Tran

Kip Thomastown is great! Been taking Wally my 2yr old LabxRetriever to Kip Thomastown for the last 12 months and it’s the highlight of his week! The staff are so friendly and I know Wally is getting plenty of love and attention there. He comes home happy (and tired) and it’s worth every dollar.

Jasmine

I’ve just started taking my dog Snoop to kip thomastown twice a week, more so just so he has interaction with other dogs and has something to look forward too! I highly recommend skip Thomastown! All the staff are friendly and I leave my dog there knowing his in safe hands, and pick him up at the end of the day with massive smiles on his face :) Thankyou Kip Thomastown
