Exciting Updates to Our APES Pet Care Clinic

We’re thrilled to share some exciting updates from our APES Pet Care Clinic. As part of our commitment to providing exceptional care for your exotic pets, we've revamped our website to enhance your experience and make it easier to access the services you need. Let’s dive into the details!

Streamlined Main Menu

Navigating our website is now a breeze! We’ve made some critical updates to the main menu for quick and easy access. You’ll find direct links to our booking system right at the top, ensuring you can schedule your appointments effortlessly. Meanwhile, links like MyAPES and other Association of Protecting Exotic Species CIC resources have been moved to the website's footer. This change declutters our site, making your browsing experience smoother and more focused on what you need most.

Enhanced Booking System

We recognise the importance of a seamless booking experience, and we’re excited to announce updates to our bookings page. Our new booking system is designed to be more intuitive, allowing you to schedule in-person appointments quickly and efficiently. Please note that, for the moment, remote sessions are unavailable as we work on perfecting our online system. Your patience is appreciated as we strive to offer the best solutions to meet your needs.

Introducing Our New APES Pet Shop Section

In addition to these functional updates, we’re thrilled to announce a new menu item: APES Pet Shop! This dedicated section features all our APES Pet Care Clinic products. Our aim is to educate and equip pet owners with products that help with injuries and other specific needs. Whether you’re looking for specialised food, first-aid kits, or care accessories, our shop has you covered.

Why These Changes Matter

Each update reflects our ongoing commitment to improving our services and ensuring you have all the tools you need to care for your exotic pets effectively. By simplifying navigation and centralising resources, we aim to make your experience not only easier but also more enjoyable and enriching.

Our mission at APES is not just about protection but empowerment. We believe that by providing the right resources and knowledge, every pet owner can offer the best possible care to their exotic companions.

Thank you for your ongoing support and trust in us. Stay connected for future updates as we continue to enhance our services. For more information or inquiries, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Hello, wildlife protectors! At the Association for Protecting Exotic Species (APES), we are dedicated to fostering open and efficient communication, ensuring you’re always just a click away from support and information. We are thrilled to unveil some exciting updates to our "Contact Us" page. Let’s explore these transformative changes and how they can help you connect with us more effectively.

Updated Contact Us Page
Our newly revamped Contact Us page is designed to enhance your experience, making it smoother and more intuitive. We have introduced quick links directing you to our individual services along with their contact information. Whether you’re interested in donating, volunteering, or seeking specialised assistance, you can effortlessly reach the right team. This user-friendly approach ensures your inquiries swiftly reach the correct department, reducing wait times and empowering us to respond with accurate information.

Telegram and WhatsApp Integration
We are embracing Telegram as part of our communication strategy. It’s a fantastic platform that allows you to connect with us reliably and efficiently. Simply click on our Telegram link on the Contact Us page to start a conversation with our team.

While we have enjoyed engaging with many of you through WhatsApp, we will soon discontinue this service. The platform's 24-hour response limit has made it challenging for us to manage the high volume of requests. By transitioning away from WhatsApp, we ensure more consistent and timely responses through our other communication channels.

The Importance of These Changes
These updates transcend mere technological enhancements; they symbolise our commitment to fostering a deeper connection with our community. By streamlining our contact systems, we are better equipped to support our mission of protecting exotic species. Clear communication is key to collaboration, and with these improvements, we look forward to engaging with you in more impactful ways. Your partnership is vital in our journey to preserve biodiversity, and these changes empower us to work alongside you more effectively than ever.

Conclusion
We invite you to explore our updated Contact Us page and experience these enhancements for yourself. Whether you’re reaching out with ideas, support, or questions, we are ready to engage. For any inquiries, suggestions, or simply to connect, feel free to use our Telegram link or email us directly. Together, let’s make a meaningful difference for exotic species everywhere.

Absolute Repti-Vet Reptile Wormer+ 20g

Cloverleaf Absolute Repti-Vet Reptile Wormer+ is an extra-strength powdered medication for the treatment of roundworms, hookworms and pinworms in reptiles. This reptile medication is effective against inter-muscular plus internal parasites and will rapidly reduce the gut parasite burden on newly imported and captive lizards and snakes. Used by veterinarians and experienced reptile keepers for the protection against intestinal parasites, it provides effective treatment for both adult worms and eggs. Cloverleaf Absolute Repti-Vet Reptile Wormer comes in a resealable 20g bag and includes a handy dosing scoop.

How do I medicate snakes with this reptile wormer?

When medicating snakes, simply mix the required amount with a small amount of water and apply it to the fur of the food just before feeding.

If you're looking to treat your pet tortoise for parasitic worms and external ticks, Cloverleaf Absolute Tortoise Wormer would be a more suitable treatment. Similar to Reptile Wormer+, Tortoise Wormer is easy to dose thanks to the handy blue measure scoop and can be dosed in a lukewarm water bath.

How to dose:

Cloverleaf Absolute Repti-Vet Reptile Wormer+ 20g pack will treat up to 5.6kg of animal body weight. To ensure the wormer powder adheres to the food, gently mist warm water on the food prior to treatment.

Dose: Use 1 level 0.5ml /0.3g per 250g of body weight, lightly sprinkled over food daily. Repeat for three consecutive days. Dispose of unused medicated food after the three-day period. If you are treating more than one animal we recommend each animal be separated to enable more accurate treatment. Do not overdose.
