Playtime is always fun, but all play and no rest makes Fido an overstimulated dog! We make sure to break up high-energy play with structured rest to keep all the dogs happy and well-behaved. 

As pet parents ourselves, we know leaving your pup can be daunting, so we deliver regular photo and/or video updates (aka pup-dates) right to your phone. You can access these through an easy-to-use customer portal!

Is your dog ready to join the daycare fun?

You need to attend a First Day Trial before coming more regularly!

We want to ensure your pup gets started on the right paw when they join the Kip family. That’s why all dogs do a first-day trial to see whether the daycare environment suits them. On this first-day trial, we encourage you to arrive before 9:00am (but the earlier, the better!) to give your dog the best chance of success. We will give you an update throughout the day, and at pick-up, you will receive a report card, and the team will discuss a recommended attendance plan. You will also need to be available for an earlier pick-up should our staff deem that daycare is not suitable for your dog.

Grab a 3-Day Intro Pack for only $26/day (1 month expiry) - saving $132!

To attend daycare, your dog will need to be vaccinated (to C5 or above) and desexed if over 12 months. Dogs can attend their First Day Trial 10 days after their second vaccination (C5. or equivalent).

Love Kip. The people are great and helpful with training and behaviour tips. My dog is always super happy to go.

Tessa Moseley

Best doggy daycare with the best staff, our dog loves it and is so well cared for & loved. I wouldn't use any daycare (or anything !) that wasn't the absolute best for my dog & his wellbeing. Thankyou kip for making my dog & his family happy!

Friendly atmosphere & great staff at KipKew - my dog gets very excited as we approach the front door!

I could not recommend Kip Kew enough! My dog gets so excited when Mondays come around, knowing she is going to doggy daycare. Staff are so welcoming to her, and she feels so safe in their company. I would highly recommend Kip Kew Dog Daycare ♡♡

Keith Beresford

Harvey our puppy Vizsla is thoroughly enjoying his weekly 1/2 day session. Thanks to the team at KIP.

Ivis C

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Kip Doggy Day Care! From start to finish, the team went above and beyond to ensure my pup, Dexter, had an amazing time. I really appreciated the thoughtful updates throughout the day, including a phone call to let me know how he was settling in. That's also a video of Dexter happily playing with another dog, which was such a nice touch! At the end of the day, I even received a report card with insights of his activities and interactions. It’s clear the staff truly care about the dogs, and I’ll definitely be bringing Dexter back. Highly recommend!"

Craig Smith

Audrey has a wonderful time at Kip. Audrey has been there since a pup and learnt great interaction skills with other dogs. The staff are super attentive and engaging with her. They know dogs well, their behaviours and their care needs. The daily videos are hilarious.

Natalie Kelly

The team at Kip Kew are amazing with our lil man Freddie. It makes our day to see videos & photos of him getting spoilt with cuddles & his favourite, belly rubs. Freddie always enjoys his time at Kip Kew & thank you for looking after him like he is part of your family. Nat & Carl

Experienced Staff, Safe Space, Structured Routine, and Fun Activities

is what makes Kip doggy daycare different!

Not every doggy daycare is built equal! At Kip, our daycare model is built off decades of doggy daycare learnings and experience. We put your dog first and ensure both you and your pooch are able to get the most out of our enriching daycare environment.

After the First Day Trial, your dog will reap the benefits of the structured daily routines and our focus on developing fundamental skills and manners (recall, gate manners, group sits) that makes Kip unique. To top things off, you’ll receive regular photo and video updates of your dog’s daycare experience, receive honest feedback and see the benefits daycare provides.

FAQs

Our requirements for dog daycare is as follows:

  1. Vaccination Requirement: Your pet must be vaccinated, and the vaccination must be valid for the entire duration of your pet's stay.
    • Puppies may attend daycare 10 days after their second puppy vaccine as long as they are C5 or equivalent.
    • Dogs must have an up-to-date C5 (or equivalent) vaccination.
  2. 10-Day Rule: If your pet's previous vaccination had lapsed by more than 14 days, the new vaccine must be administered at least 10 days before the check-in date.
  3. Vaccination Documentation: You are required to provide us with evidence of your pet's current (and immediate prior vaccination if checking in with 10 days of their most recent vaccination)
  4. De-sexing Policy: Dogs must be de-sexed by 12 months

A Kip day starts bright and early at 7am, giving you plenty of time to drop off your furry friend on the way to work. Your dog’s day will be divided into two play sessions, morning and afternoon, and is broken up with quiet time in between to relax and recharge. This balance ensures that every dog has a great time without being overwhelmed and goes home looking forward to their next visit.

Groups are generally based on size, personality and play style so that your pup can enjoy their time with their BFFs (best furry friends!). Our animal handlers will also switch around groups as needed so that your dog gets the best out of every visit.

Safety is our number one priority. All dogs in our care are fully vaccinated and have passed their trial day before joining. Our floors are also non-slip and water-resistant, and our fences dig-proof.

The late cancellation charge allows us to reallocate your reservation to another pup if you are unable to attend your session. This late cancellation/no-show charge applies to customers who fail to cancel a daycare visit by 5pm the day prior to the reservation.
