Donโ€™t forget to make sure your pets are registered & microchip details are all updated ๐Ÿ˜€๐ŸŒŸ

The team from Regi-Check are back next week, going from house to house to check that ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿถ animal registrations and details are up to date.

Registrations were due on Wednesday, April 10, and owners who have not re-registered their pet risk a $370 fine.

This important work makes it faster for us to ๐Ÿ’• reunite roaming dogs and cats with their owners, for council officers to respond to calls about wandering animals or noise complaints, and to monitor pet shops and boarding kennels.

The team will begin door-knocking โœŠ next week from Wednesday, May 15 to Friday, May 24.

We are hiring!!

We are looking for a second manager to become part of our team at our kennels and cattery in Chiltern.

The role will be shared across two managers one who has been a superstar at Appletree for some time already. But as much as we would love to have her in 365 days of the year it's not possible. It is likely to be on average 22 to 30hrs a week. This includes weekend work and holidays. Therefore you must have some flexibility to allow us to share the role with the other manager.

The manager supports all aspects of the day to day operations including:
๐Ÿถ Supervising both adult and junior staff
๐Ÿถ Greeting customers and pets on arrival and exit
๐Ÿถ Stock control
๐Ÿถ Monitoring animal health and well being
๐Ÿถ Reporting any issues to the owners
๐Ÿถ Taking bookings via telephone and online
๐Ÿถ Payment reconciliations

You must be physically fit. Our guests demand us to be quick on our feet and strong enough to keep the most eager of dogs under control. It is a very active role and you will be required to pitch in and help as needed with all aspects of being a kennel hand.

If you think this might be you, send us an email to [email protected] with your details and a resume outlining your skills and work experience. The hourly rates under our award will be discussed with suitable candidates.

As the dogs would say, that's 2023 chewed and buried. It's been a massive year for us and it's been topped off in style by having a great crew of guests and supported by the best team in the biz. Lots of early starts, lots of barking/meowing, play time, pats, and laughter. We've got puppies, kittens, seniors, big ones, small ones and lots of scalliwags! A big thank you to all of our staff, customers, partners and most of all the crazy furry ones who make it all worth while. See you in 2024! โค๏ธ Nichola and Simon.

23/10/2023

Hi friends, please be aware that kennel cough is present in the community. Please make sure you keep upto date with your vaccinations. As the vets say, the vaccination doesnโ€™t prevent it, but does help with the symptoms if they pick it up. Itโ€™s highly contagious & shared unknowingly by pet owners as doggies are contagious before symptoms show. Donโ€™t be fooled by the name โ€˜kennelโ€™ cough, you doggie can pick it up by simply walking your down the street, going to the vet, doggy daycare & most commonly at the dog park!

๐ŸŒŸ Kennel Cough Alert ๐ŸŒŸ

We are seeing a lot of cases of โ€˜Kennel coughโ€™ at the moment. This is a highly contagious disease that causes upper respiratory symptoms from infection with either/both canine influenza virus or bacterial infection with Bordatella (same bacterial family as Whooping cough in people)

You can see now how similar this is to the flu in people

What to watch out for?
๐Ÿถ harsh deep cough
๐Ÿถ Gagging
๐Ÿถ Fever
๐Ÿถ Lethargy

How do you protect your dog ?

โœ… Keep their kennel cough vaccines up to date - this is an annual vaccination.

Vaccinations DO NOT prevent your dog from being infection or getting sick, but IF they are unwell they are much less likely to be as sick as they otherwise would have without a vaccine. This is because vaccinations prime the immune system with the โ€˜puzzle piecesโ€™ ready to fight infection as soon as it invaded the body.

Call ๐Ÿ“ž 60406995 to book you pets kennel cough vaccine or check when your pet is due.
