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).

Elaine Gillard

The Team at Kip Thomastown are fabulous. My pooch loves going there and playing with his friends. He comes home happy and exhausted after a fun day.

Nicole Turner

Molly our GSP absolutely loves her time here very friendly staff and knowing your pet is in the best hands 🙌 🥰

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

My dog comes home exhausted for playing with the other dogs he cant wait to get in the door. The staff are very friendly.

Abbey Fletcher

There are not enough words, or stars, to describe how amazing Kip Thomastown is. I have been sending my whippet, Goose, here sporadically over the past year since he was a puppy and every single time, he is met and treated with tremendous amounts of care, love and attention. The team provide enrichment and care throughout the day and send home pupdates so you know how your fur baby is doing. Goose and I love you all so much, keep up the amazing work <3

My cavvie has a good time whenever he’s at Kip. I like that he is placed with other dogs his size and temperament as he gets stressed out by the more playful dogs. The staff at Kip are great and every day is different for the dogs with various activities like bubbles, ripping up boxes, playing with toys, sloshing around in the paddle pool or running around outside. I also really enjoy the special activities like dressing up for book week and the little cards pawrents get on mother’s/Father’s Day from the pups!

Joanne DP

Wonderful place our dog Angus loved his first time. Great staff, looking forward to his next visit.

Chris

We have been incredibly impressed with the Kip Thomastown Team. They begin the morning with a genuine smile and they make us feel welcomed and valued. They are kind, compassionate and treat our Honey Boo Boo with lots of cuddles & love. The learning tasks of the week are a great idea, the personal email and video links build a great connection and the continual instagram posts are fun. We have love the fun competitions and the way the team include both the dogs and their families. I highly recommend this fabulous team.

Sarah Louise wilson bayliss

Great staff, really welcoming atmosphere! Took my puppy here for a trial and couldn't feel happier that my baby is in safe hands. All the staff members are friendly and approachable, answered all my questions and always make drop-off and pick up easy. Daily updates are always appreciated with pictures and/or a video on how my puppies day is going 😁 couldn't recommend these guys enough if you're looking into daycare! 100/10 🙌🏾

Our Golden Retriever has only just started visiting KIP, and so far comes home happy, exhausted from playing and socializing. The staff have been wonderful.

Wendy Sanders

My Cavoodle had a wonderful time at Kip Thomastown. He came home happy and I can tell he was well looked after as he has a bad knee and he wasn't limping or anything after being there which he does do if he over exerts himself. I highly recommend this doggy daycare.

Talarra Jade

Have been bringing my Mr Wilson here for almost a year and couldn’t be happier the staff treat each puppy like their own showering them with love! I especially love the feedback I receive about my boy and how I can improve his overall mannerism, as well as seeing his updates throughout the day knowing he is being taken care of. A massive shoutout to Shay and Amber, as well as all the other Kip staff members who have made having Wilson in my life a much easier journey thanks to their tips and tricks! Nothing makes me happier than bringing him here knowing he feels safe and enjoys his time, can’t wait to bring our other little puppy to join in the fun and make new friends! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone I know with a dog no matter the age or size they will have a great time!

Nate McCabe

When we got our rescue two years ago we learned early on that she did not have great socializing skills and manners with other dogs. After working hard with her we were recommended to Kip by a friend in a similar scenario who found success there. The staff have been incredibly patient with her and seem to genuinely care about her success. They give thorough handovers every time we pick her up and her demeanor with other dogs in every day life has improved to a level we could never have expected two years ago. THANKS KIP!

Kellie

Its truly been the best experience for my puppy (Cavoodle), not only for socialisation but for the fun he has there. He's absolutely busting at the door to get in when we arrive.

romana podhorodecki

Fabulous facility with excellent customer and canine care . Highly recommended . My dogs will be going back as much as possible.

Leanne Cremin

My dog lives Kip! She busts through the door every drop off and is exhausted when she returns home. They have the best and most caring team of dog lovers, it’s clear to see in the way they interact with all the pups. We love the video update and all the social media clips throughout the day. Also love when they send her home with awards and Polaroids, too cute! Wouldn’t take my girl anywhere else!

Troy Jervis

Love this place. My little fella is another dog here, he can’t contain his excitement. He has so much fun and gets to play with so many dogs. The staff send you an update video of the morning and constantly update instagram and Facebook feeds… very happy with this place.

The team at Kip Thomastown is brilliant. Bella look forward to meeting her new friends and she is one happy girl. Thank you Shay and the team for looking after Bella, your care, feedback and ongoing support is much appreciated. We feel very comfortable leaving her in your safe hands x

Tracey Matheson

The staff are lovely, very professional. Great feedback on how I can train my dog in certain areas. Best of all my dog is happy.

Lesley Torney

My dog loves going. I think she likes the carers more than the other dogs! Every dog comes running up to the entrance and cant wait to get in and have PAWSOME fun with the carers and thier doggy pals. Its a great place to send your dog. Ive been beinging my dog for 2 years now

I also really enjoy the special activities like dressing up for book week and the little cards pawrents get on mother’s/Father’s Day from the pups!

We have been incredibly impressed with the Kip Thomastown Team. They begin the morning with a genuine smile and they make us feel welcomed and valued. They are kind, compassionate and treat our Honey Boo Boo with lots of cuddles & love. The learning tasks of the week are a great idea, the personal email and video links build a great connection and the continual instagram posts are fun. We have love the fun competitions and the way the team include both the dogs and their families. I highly recommend this fabulous team.

Great staff, really welcoming atmosphere! Took my puppy here for a trial and couldn't feel happier that my baby is in safe hands. All the staff members are friendly and approachable, answered all my questions and always make drop-off and pick up easy. Daily updates are always appreciated with pictures and/or a video on how my puppies day is going 😁 couldn't recommend these guys enough if you're looking into daycare! 100/10 🙌🏾

Our Golden Retriever has only just started visiting KIP, and so far comes home happy, exhausted from playing and socializing. The staff have been wonderful.

My Cavoodle had a wonderful time at Kip Thomastown. He came home happy and I can tell he was well looked after as he has a bad knee and he wasn't limping or anything after being there which he does do if he over exerts himself. I highly recommend this doggy daycare.

Have been bringing my Mr Wilson here for almost a year and couldn’t be happier the staff treat each puppy like their own showering them with love! I especially love the feedback I receive about my boy and how I can improve his overall mannerism, as well as seeing his updates throughout the day knowing he is being taken care of. A massive shoutout to Shay and Amber, as well as all the other Kip staff members who have made having Wilson in my life a much easier journey thanks to their tips and tricks! Nothing makes me happier than bringing him here knowing he feels safe and enjoys his time, can’t wait to bring our other little puppy to join in the fun and make new friends! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone I know with a dog no matter the age or size they will have a great time!

When we got our rescue two years ago we learned early on that she did not have great socializing skills and manners with other dogs. After working hard with her we were recommended to Kip by a friend in a similar scenario who found success there. The staff have been incredibly patient with her and seem to genuinely care about her success. They give thorough handovers every time we pick her up and her demeanor with other dogs in every day life has improved to a level we could never have expected two years ago. THANKS KIP!

Its truly been the best experience for my puppy (Cavoodle), not only for socialisation but for the fun he has there. He's absolutely busting at the door to get in when we arrive.

Fabulous facility with excellent customer and canine care . Highly recommended . My dogs will be going back as much as possible.

Leanne Cremin

My dog lives Kip! She busts through the door every drop off and is exhausted when she returns home. They have the best and most caring team of dog lovers, it’s clear to see in the way they interact with all the pups. We love the video update and all the social media clips throughout the day. Also love when they send her home with awards and Polaroids, too cute! Wouldn’t take my girl anywhere else!

Troy Jervis

Love this place. My little fella is another dog here, he can’t contain his excitement. He has so much fun and gets to play with so many dogs. The staff send you an update video of the morning and constantly update instagram and Facebook feeds… very happy with this place.

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.
