The Happiest Daycare in Thomastown

Kip Thomastown is a secure and comfortable facility built with your doggyโ€™s happiness and safety in mind. With us, your pup can explore our different play stations or relax in air-conditioned comfort in the heart of Thomastown.

Physical and mental stimulation is just as important for dogs as it is for us humans! Daily interaction and engagement with other dogs can help with feelings of loneliness or anxiety and is important in keeping your dog happy, engaged, and thriving.

With the many pressures of modern life, providing your dog with the level of exercise and intensity they crave can be hard. Nothing can replicate the energy dogs spend playing with each other โ€“ constant wrestling and running around provides them with the needed outlet. Moreover, socialisation with other dogs is a necessary formative experience, especially in younger years. This will help prevent future anti-social behaviours and is undeniably important for early development.

How it Works

Your Pup's Trial Day

First things first, before you join the Happy Kip family, we ask that your dog completes a trial day with us so that we can make sure theyโ€™re an excellent fit for the Thomastown daycare environment. All of our Kip canine companions have passed this assessment to ensure the health and safety of the whole Thomastown family.

Trial days are typically held on our quieter days. Your pup will get a gentle introduction to the daycare setting and culture on our trial days as we evaluate their personality and interaction with other members of the Kip family within our Thomastown centre. Weโ€™ll match your dog with a small group of regulars who play well together to assess how your dog settles in. Once theyโ€™ve had the chance to mingle and explore all the new sights and senses, weโ€™ll introduce them to a larger group of dogs.

Our Requirements

Trial Days with Kip

Our Requirements

Weโ€™re aware that sometimes certain dogs take a while to settle in and that this canโ€™t be achieved on their first day. We often recommend that your pup returns for further evaluation; however, some dogs are not a great fit for the environment. Other daycares have different philosophies on accepting dogs โ€“ we believe it is essential that all our dogs love coming to daycare rather than just tolerating it. This is how we maintain the quality of our Thomastown daycare centre and keep everyone happy.

โ€ข Dogs can attend 10 days after their second vaccine (C5 or equivalent)
โ€ข Dogs must be de-sexed by 12 months
โ€ข Pet parents must present an up-to-date C5 vaccination certificate
โ€ข Pet parents must have completed the Kip Enrolment Form

How it Works

How it Works

So, what does a day in the life at Kip Thomastown look like, and what is included?

A Kip day at our Thomastown centre starts bright and early at 7:30 am so our pet parents can drop off their companions on their way to work. We organise friend groups for your dog based on their size, how they play and their personality. As pet owners ourselves, we understand that itโ€™s essential all dogs’ unique character traits are considered and encouraged.

Once groups have been organised, the fun begins. Your little (or big) friend will enjoy their playtime and make friends with other like-minded pals under the guidance of our passionate and caring staff, who know exactly when to change up the activity or give rest time. Balance is super important and ensures that every pup has a fabulous time and looks forward to the next visit.

The best doggy day care! My Australian Shepherd Archie love love loves attending here once a week, and he has the best time and often doesn't want to leave! The staff are very responsive and helpful.

From the moment we stepped inside the staff really put our minds at ease. Instead of leaving her to fend for herself amongst a bunch of other dogs, they introduced her slowly to the new environment. They even provided a report card at the end of her first day! Weโ€™ve been back again since and our puppy enjoyed herself. The โ€œpup-datesโ€ throughout the day really help assure us that sheโ€™s having a good time. Weโ€™ll definitely be back regularly!

I take my pupper Rocky to Kip once a week & he loves it. The staff are so friendly. As we get there he is so excited to see them. When he gets home he is totally exhausted from playing all day! I highly recommend this place. Rocky is so well socialised & is great with all breeds of dogs.

The centre and the staff here are fantastic. Highly recommend getting pups in here early so that they get properly socialised. Our Staffordshire Bull Terrier is always pooped the next day and is incredibly calm and sociable thanks in no small part to spending time here!

We have been going to Kip for nearly 2 years now and we love it. The staff are amazing and love and treat our boys as if they were their own. We couldnโ€™t be happier with the care we receive, and we feel like we are part of the Kip family, not just another customer.

Your dogโ€™s safety is our number one priority. Weโ€™ve put plenty of time and dedication into ensuring our centre is world-class and of the highest standard in cleanliness and hygiene.

Our floors are non-slip and water-resistant, staying free of germs and odours. Our play yards are separated by 1.8m high fences and are big enough to play in but small enough to be managed by our amazing staff. We also have at least two gates between every dog and the exit at all times.

Our fully air-conditioned play stations ensure a comfortable environment, and your dog can access food and water throughout the day.

Before your canine pal joins us at daycare, theyโ€™ll have completed a trial day to assess whether the environment is right for them. We understand that some dogs are shy and may need more than one day to feel at ease with the environment, which is why we encourage return visits.

Our Dog Day Care Thomastown facility welcomes dogs of all different breeds, sizes and personalities, shy dogs included. We have a diverse group of pups that are more than friendly and comfortable with new entrants. With us, you can be sure that your pup will make like-minded, happy friends to keep them company throughout the active day.
