Kip Hobart Dog Daycare

Kip Hobart is a dog care centre on Argyle Street in central Hobart, where grooming sits alongside daycare, boarding and training under one roof. The grooming side runs as a salon for dogs that need anything from a quick freshen-up to a full coat overhaul, with a team that tailors each finish to a dog's breed and coat type.

The approach is built around three set packages. A Wash & Nails covers a thorough wash, brush-out and blow-dry with an ear clean and nail clip, the Tidy Up adds a face, sanitary, feet and tail trim, and the Full Groom takes a dog right through to a full-body trim styled to suit its breed. De-shedding, de-matting, teeth cleaning and breed-specific cuts can be added on top, so coats in heavier condition are catered for rather than turned away. Because Kip is also a daycare and boarding base, grooming can be folded into a day or stay, which suits owners already bringing their dog through the door.

Dogs need current C5 vaccinations and flea and tick treatment to be booked in. It is a practical, dog-first salon for Hobart owners who want grooming handled at the same place their dog plays and rests.
