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 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 $102!
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 cosy naps, Kip provides a stimulating and nurturing environment, ensuring your dogs enjoy their day to the fullest.

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 :-)
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.
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
My Duke absolutely loves Kip. The staff give him so much love. He hates leaving his puppy friends and cries with excitement when we pull into the carpark.
Great place to take your dog. Staff are excellent and my dog loves it
I love this place. My dog is so happy to go there. I love that we get video during the day to see that they are happy. Very friendly staff.
Fantastic daycare and highly recommend. Plus a great daily recap with insight into how their day went, and any troubling or trending behaviours. Love the video updates - brighten my day!
Friendly staff and clean facility, they really love dogs and give us daily updates. Very happy with Kip.
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:
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.
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.
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)
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.
