🌟 Exciting News! 🌟

Yappily creator Rosie from WUF Design is heading into round 2 of their webinar series with the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors - APBC at the end of September!

She'll also be covering a bit on AI and the new SearchGPT and why it might not be something to be so afraid of!

It’s incredible to see our work helping to inspire and engage, and we love that this would have encouraged a click-through to the Yappily website, and raise awarenes!

Dog parents!

Why is it important that the pet business you choose to help care for your dog is ethically minded?

Firstly, when a pet business acts ethically, it means your dogs are cared for in the best way possible. It means they put your dog's welfare first.

All of the Dog Pros listed on Yappily have been checked and vetted to ensure they are insured, qualified and licensed where appropriate, welfare-led and pledge to never use aversive tools or methods.

This means proper peace of mind for you and lots of love for your pup 🙌

When a badge is more than just a badge...

At Yappily, the ethical dog care directory, we believe that the well-being and care of dogs are of the utmost importance. That's why our badge isn't just another dog business accessory you can buy - it's a symbol of true dedication to ethics, integrity and the highest standards.

It's a mark of distinction given only to Dog Pros who always go above and beyond.

These are the trainers, groomers, walkers, boarders and caregivers who demonstrate expertise daily.

Thank you for being a part of our mission to raise the bar in the professional dog industry, and for choosing excellence. 👍

Let's continue to make a positive difference together!

💥DON"T FORGET! 💥

With the summer holidays in full swing we are seeing more and more people trying to find suitable accommodation at the last minute for their dogs.

It's so important to remember boarding or day caring for a dog without a licence is against the law and that any insurance an unlicensed business has, will be invalid.

But that's not the only reason you should choose a licensed, home dog boarder.

Here's just a few reasons why licensed is the correct choice for your dog. Licensed dog care providers......

✅ MUST have comprehensive risk evaluations by the council for your dog's safety;
✅ MUST be limited by the council on the number of dogs they can care for at any one time.
✅ MUST undergo property inspections to ensure safety and uphold best practices.
✅ MUST have strict protocols for cleanliness, safety, and disease control
✅ MUST continue to learn to keep their skills updated (CPD)
✅ MUST transport dogs safely
✅ Strive further to guarantee your dog's safety, happiness, and overall well-being

Obtaining a dog daycare or boarding licence isn't a walk in the park, let me tell you!

This is why selecting a licensed provider ensures peace of mind, knowing they've committed to excellence.

You can explore licensed dog boarding or daycare options near you on Yappily - every listed business is confirmed to be licensed, insured, and devoted to your dog's well-being.

We're so happy to welcome so many new faces around here! 👋

We thought now would be the perfect time to share the story behind why we created Yappily!

Our journey in the dog care industry began almost two decades ago, covering various roles as seasoned dog professionals. In 2010, we expanded our expertise by founding WUF Design, a business focused on web design, branding, and SEO specifically for dog professionals.

Why We Created Yappily

Through our experience and connections with amazing Dog Pro experts, we saw the challenges and frustration faced in a mostly unregulated industry. This inspired us to create Yappily. Our goal is to help ethical and qualified dog care professionals stand out, gaining visibility and recognition and to raise awareness about compassionate care.

We just want to help ❤️

We believe that by focusing on those who uphold the highest standards, we can, with the support of other Dog Pros, improve the quality of care across the industry, giving dogs and their care givers the support they need.

What is Yappily?

Yappily is a index that lists qualified and ethical dog care professionals. Each application is carefully vetted and must be approved before being listed.

🚩RED FLAGS 🚩

Excellent advice from Yappily lister Tip Top Puppy and Dog Training about preparing your puppy for a trip to the vet 👇

HAVE YOU PREPARED YOUR PUPPY FOR A TRIP TO THE VET?

We know at some point that we will have to take our puppies to the vet, but we don’t often spend enough time preparing them for what can be a scary experience that may create a negative association for life. Set your puppy up for successful visits to the vet by:-

- Taking them along when they are fit and well.

- Asking the receptionist, nurse or vet to give your puppy a treat and some fuss (if your puppy enjoys being made a fuss of).

- Allowing your puppy to sniff outside and inside the surgery if appropriate to do so (ask first).

Throughout their life your puppy is going to need vaccinations, have their temperature taken, step onto the weighing scales, have their ears and mouth checked, stand to be examined … often by strange new people.

By regularly visiting the vet when your puppy is healthy, when the “scary” stuff happens, the positive visits can help outweigh the negative ones.

Handling is one of the topics we cover as part of our six-week Puppy School course. My next classes start on Saturday 10th August and Saturday 5th October.

Visit my website for details of these and the other services I offer.
