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

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.
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.
