About Us

our mission

The best kips imaginable

At the core of our product journey for Kippi was a goal of achieving genuine comfort for dogs. It first started as a curiosity about what comfort means to them, and slowly transitioned into a strong interest, a passion before eventually becoming our primary mission. We've tested different solutions throughout our journey but what stood out as the key, the thing dogs kept coming back to, was something that was the right temperature. I'm sure we've all seen our dogs leave the couch or bed to sprawl out on the cool tiles before. So that's where the idea for kippiclay™ began. 

The second part for us was this issue of dog joint health, it can be a real painful experience for dogs as they get older and sometimes a huge expense for dog owners. There's so many dog beds out there and sometimes the internal foam just feels like an afterthought. To us its the most important part of the bed, because without multiple layers of quality foam for our pooches to rest on, their joints are most of the time just hitting the floor through their bed. So we see having the highest quality foams as a long term investment for your dogs' health and your wallet. 

Ultimately we're on a mission to provide the best kips imaginable for all dogs, which speaks to the comfort we've achieved through incorporating temperature into the mix, but in addition to this we just want dogs to be able to live their happiest, healthiest lives and get the quality rest they deserve in return for everything they do for us humans.

A message from the founders

Hi there, Conor here, one of the co-founders of Kippi. Well it's been a journey! We spent the better part of two years creating this product all through the pandemic, we're so very excited to finally bring it to everyone in Australia and New Zealand. We can't wait to hear what you all think of Kippi and hear how (hopefully) these products have helped to enrich the lives of your beloved dogs. We'd love to get your thoughts so please drop us a line or leave a review for us.

Our journey really is only just beginning, we can't wait to show you more of our ideas in 2023 and beyond!

Sustainability at Kippi

In 2019 there were 5.1 million pet dogs in Australia among a population of 25 million. With most dogs owning multiple beds throughout their lifetime, some multiple beds per year, this adds up to some disturbing statistics about dog bed waste. So with Kippi this played into our mantra and we asked the question, how can we shift away from dog beds being perceived as a disposable item?

Our answer was bringing modularity and quality into the dog bed world. With a modular design, anyone can start with something small for their puppy and then expand the bed as they grow up, even to full size. We have achieved this with the Kippi Dog Bed and hope that this provides a responsible choice for new and existing dog owners alike to help reduce dog bed waste across the course of their pets lives. We can assure you that our products are very high quality and should last many years if taken care of.

Regarding shipping your products sustainably, we ship with Sendle who is Australia's first 100% carbon neutral courier service. We hope this helps put your mind at ease that your products are travelling to you with minimal impact on the planet.

After our initial launch in 2022 we plan to dive into this even further and take an closer look at sustainability in our product materials and in our logistics as we grow.
