Caring for Perth's dogs like our own
A family-owned daycare, grooming salon and dog-loving team, here's our story, and the people behind it.
From one little daycare to a whole family of dog care
K9 Playtime began in 2009 as a small home grooming salon, built on a simple idea: give Perth's dogs a safe, happy place to be cared for, and treat every dog like one of our own. In 2014 we moved to our Jandakot home base and opened our doggy daycare, and we've grown ever since into a small family of businesses trusted by thousands of local dog families.
Today we offer doggy daycare and grooming at our Jandakot home base, dedicated grooming at Byford and O'Connor, and our monthly Wellness Club. We're still proudly family-owned and run by Rob and Emily Baldwin, alongside a passionate, dog-loving team.

And now, WA Dog Grooming Supplies
As our love of grooming grew, so did our wish to share the products we trust. That's how WA Dog Grooming Supplies was born, our online shop for premium dog grooming supplies, tools and treats, stocked with the very same products we use on your dogs every day.
Together, K9 Playtime and WA Dog Grooming Supplies form the K9 Playtime Retail Group (K9 Playtime Retail Pty Ltd), one family, caring for dogs from playtime to pampering to your own home.
