So your friends are all off having babies while you’re just wondering where the heck to send your dog to day care in Perth? You’re our kinda people!
If you’re not lucky enough to be able to bring your puppy to work with you, it doesn’t mean they have to spend all day at home pining for you to walk back through those mystery doors which lead to the outside world. There are plenty of amazing doggy day care joints in Perth that would happily take on your dog’s wagging tail for the day, and some include treats, bubbles, and grooming (just to make your life even easier).
Here’s where to send your dog to day care in Perth.
Le Petit Doggy Daycare
South Perth
If your pupper is 12 kilos or less, then book them in to Le Petit Doggy Daycare toot sweet! With all the comforts of a Parisian home, Le Petit is open Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 5:30pm, so your dog can have plenty of fun playing with its similar sized fur-friends. And, if you aren’t able to spend your pups birthday with them, this is the place to send them for an awesome paw-party.
Paw Pals Day Care

Definitely one of the more affordable doggy day care options in Perth, The Pampered Pooch Motel charges $15 for one dog per day (and $20 for two dogs). There are plenty of wide open, grassy spaces for your dog to run around in with its paw-friends and even some splash pools to jump in on those long, hot summer days (so bring a towel). Plus, all day care clients can take part in free group training classes with The Pampered Pooch’s resident animal behaviourist.
