Recently had our senior 9 year old Samoyed Meeko at Kips for 2 and a half weeks with trainer Megan. We were provided almost daily updates of her progress as well as a comprehensive handover after picking her up. Her behaviour has improved dramatically and Megan has steered us in the right direction. The training is worth every penny and I highly encourage anyone give it a go if your furry one isn’t the most obedient.

Our dogs, Leni and Bobbi, absolutely love their time at Kip! It gives us peace of mind knowing that while we're on holiday, our fur babies are not only safe and well cared for, but they’re also enjoying a little getaway of their own.

Where do I begin… before Meg and the amazing team at Kip, my banh mi was a big, uncontrollable, strong, very excited puppy! At 7 months she remodeled the house by smashing the doors of their hinges, she broke a whole shelf of cups with her big tail and the list goes on.. Banh Mi boarded at Kip for 3 weeks while we were on holiday and she has come home a different dog! She is soo calm, she listens, I can actually take her on walks instead of being dragged around and the best part is banh mi still has her beautiful bubbly personality!!! Meg and the team are truly a god send! No words can ever express how grateful we are for their love and care for banh mi! THANK YOU!!!

Great place for your dogs needs. My dog had a small problem with a lump on her leg. Adam kept me informed regularly and organised a bucket collar for my dog so the problem didn't get any worse. Great job Adam and his team! Couldn't recommend this kennel highly enough!

Extra Activities
At Kip Happy Stays, we know how important it is for your pup to lead an active lifestyle. When your canine companion comes to stay at a Kip dog boarding kennel, you can choose to add some additional playtime to their itinerary.
Dogs require a certain level of physical exercise and mental stimulation every day to be happy and healthy, so you can choose between outdoor play sessions, extra bushwalks, or even a full daycare session, depending on which location you pic. Our qualified team of expert Aussie caretakers will supervise and be there to provide lots of pats, toys, and treats!

Dog Transportation Services
Strapped for time on the morning of your getaway? Or perhaps you’re not able to organise a trip out to the dog boarding kennel before your big trip? Not to worry - when you book a dog boarding Melbourne stay with Kip, your dog will be picked up and personally transported from your home in our exceptional pet transportation service, meaning you don’t have to factor in another trip when you em-bark on your holiday. Your pet can enjoy a ride to our site, in the comforts of a secure, fully air-conditioned van. We offer dog transportation across Melbourne!

Treats and Meals
Does your pup tend to be a bit fussy when it comes to food? Or maybe they have special dietary requirements and allergies? We’ve got you covered. With a range of food plans to suit every special diet, your pup will be offered plenty of choices. What’s more, they can enjoy a range of delectable treats throughout the day. You can choose to add on extras to spice up your pet’s day. The animal-loving foodies at Kip have compiled a menu full of the tastiest treats, from peanut butter stuffed Kongs to small bones and other tasty morsels. Our attentive team are always around to supervise mealtimes to guarantee each dog goes to bed satisfied, with a full belly.
