Kip Newstead
Doggy Daycare for Newstead Pups
Australia’s favourite doggy daycare has come to Brisbane! Kip Newstead is only a stone's throw from Waterfront Park, and a 5 minute walk from Gasworks Plaza (we checked!). It's the perfect spot for your dogs to run off all their energy before coming home ready for a kip.

Has your dog been itching to try daycare?
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 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 $120!
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).

A daycare worth barking about!
From playtime to cozy naps, Kip provides a stimulating and nurturing environment, ensuring your dogs enjoy their day to the fullest.

Our pup Evie loves going to Kip! Super caring team members really look after her, and she comes home exhausted every time. She pulls like a pint-sized sled dog to get in there in the mornings, and has a ball while she’s there. The Kip team really know their stuff, and noticed when Evie wasn’t quite herself when we were renovating our home - they really do care, and we’re so thankful to have them close by. 10/10!

Coco is having a wonderful time. She comes home mentally and physically exhausted with all of the activities on offer. And she seems to learn something new every day
Jayne Henrickson
Absolutely love watching how excited my Missy gets while waiting at the front door ready to greet all her favourite friends of the pup and human variety at Kip! Truly wonderful, caring staff. Highly recommend

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.
