At Doggone, we're passionate about collaborating with forward-thinking councils who share our commitment to reuniting lost dogs , with a strong focus on animal welfare and community safety.

These councils, like Kaikōura District Council, understand the power of innovation to streamline processes, maximise resource savings, and deliver exceptional service to their residents.

We were thrilled to receive this fantastic testimonial from Jo York, Regulatory Services Team Leader at Kaikōura District Council, highlighting the positive impact of our collaboration on their dog registration and animal management operations.

It's fair to say there's a bit of excitement in Doggone's office at the moment ...

We've just been named as the 2024 WINNERS of the globally-awarded Most Innovative Tag Solution, for the second year running.

We are thrilled to receive this recognition, but even more so, we are thrilled to be supporting pet owners in the care of their beloved dogs (and cats). We are very grateful to be working with innovative councils in New Zealand by providing our solution as part of their dog registration and animal management processes.

The official Press Release has just been released (so now we're allowed to shout it from the roof tops!):

This programme recognises and celebrates those delivering excellence through services and products dedicated to the health, wellbeing, and luxurious comfort of our pets. Our award winners are devoted to improving the lives of all beings; from dogs and cats to farm animals and exotic pets, giving peace of mind and enjoyment to us as owners, these businesses and individuals are truly raising the bar for each and every one of their customers.

Of course, when taking on a pet, no matter their type, age, or needs, we rely on products and services to care for them correctly and tenderly. Elevating our experience of pet welfare, our awardees continue to impress – so that our pets can live their best life.

Awards Coordinator Laura O’Carroll commented on the achievements of our winners: “Our pets mean so much to us, and we know they each deserve the finest options for their health and wellbeing. Our winners have demonstrated a steadfast commitment to quality so as to improve the lives of our beloved pets, while helping us to feel like the greatest pet parents out there. I wish them all the success imaginable for the years to come.”

🛁🐾 Bathing your furry friend is an important part of their care routine! Here's a quick guide on how often to bathe your dog:

🐶 Short-haired breeds: Every 3-4 months or as needed.
🐾 Long-haired breeds: Every 6-8 weeks or as needed.
🐕 Active outdoor dogs: More frequently, especially if they love to roll in mud!

Remember, over-bathing can strip their coat of natural oils, so it's important to strike a balance. Regular brushing is also key to a healthy, shiny coat! 🌟

🌞☀️ With Summer temperatures hot, let's not forget about our furry friends! 🐾

Be sure to check the heat of the pavement before you take them for a walk. Remember if the ground is too hot for you to walk on in bare-feet, then it is too hot for your dog too.
