Frequently Asked Questions
Are Kip’s boarding kennels safe?
The safety and comfort of your pet are our number one priority at Kip Canberra. Our staff are thoroughly trained and have experience caring for dogs and cats in large groups. No matter what size, breed, or shape your dog or cat is, we know how to ensure they have fun safely. We also have a network of veterinary specialists, just a phone call away if anything serious happens.
All the outdoor play spaces are protected by two sets of gates and are protected from any outside area nasties. The bushwalk add-on will be done on a leash by an experienced handler.
We do a short evaluation of all dogs when they are enrolled to Kip Canberra to make sure they are sociable and suitable for the other dogs at our Kip environment. They’ll be best friends soon!
How much does pet boarding Canberra cost?
Our boarding in Canberra starts at $49 per day for dogs and $35 per day for cats. All bookings require a 10% pre-payment.
Is there a discount for multiple pets?
Absolutely! We welcome pet siblings at Kip. Pets from the same family will receive a discount for their accommodation when they share a room at Kip. Please look at the specific dates you are looking for to confirm the pricing for the period.
Can I inspect the accommodation?
We’re proud of what we’ve done at Kip Canberra. As the leading pet boarding Canberra provider, our doors are open for anyone that wants to come and inspect the facility to make sure it’s up to scratch. Just give us a ring and book in a time with our friendly staff and have a good look around before deciding on whether your dogs will be coming to stay. We think you (and your pet) will love it!
My pet requires medicine; can you administer it?
At Kip, your pet will be looked after exactly how they are at home with you. Our knowledgeable staff ensures all Kip residents’ needs are taken care of, including medical ones. Just pack your pet’s medication in a well-labelled container when they come down and let our helpful pet boarding team. We’ll carefully care for and administer your pet’s medication exactly to your specifications. We charge $5/day for the preparation and administration of medication for pets under our care.
I can’t get to Kip’s facility; do you offer a collection service?
You bet we do! We have partnerships with selected vets where you can drop them off and then our Kipmobil will take them to their resort vacation in an air-conditioned van! Your cat or dog will be accompanied the entire time by a team member to keep them relaxed on their journey. When you’re back from your holiday, we’ll also organise your pet’s return to the selected vet where they’ll be eagerly awaiting your return. Give us a call to see which vet partner is best for your fur baby.
