Grooming Check-in and Pre-Screen

Please be advised that Wizard of Paws is taking extra precautionary measures to help ensure the safety of our employees and clients, so that we may all stay safe and healthy during these unprecidented times. This check-in form and prescreening questionnaire is one sure way to comply with our new operating procedures. In an effort to move forward, we are migrating into a system that is paperless, and touchless. Your co-operation is greatly appreciated.

ONLY ONE PATRON IN THE LOBBY AREA AT A TIME. We will require you to remove your dog's personal items such as collar, harness and leash so that we can use our own sanitized equipment to transport the dog into the grooming area. We disinfect all high-touch areas, as well as the equipment we use after every use. We are now equipped with a remote pin pad for easy payment. 

Please be aware that with all the precautionary measures we are taking, your dog's grooming time may be longer than usual. 

We once again appreciate your co-operation as we adjust to the new normal.

Please take a moment now to fill out the form below.

Thank you, Wizard of Paws

Matted Pet Waiver:

Check your pet for matted fur. Areas to check: behind the ears, armpits, belly, collar area, tail and base of tail, thigh area and behind.

If we find that your pet is matted and cannot be humanely de-matted, we may recommend shaving/clipping the hair short to "start over."

Please understand that a dog left with a matted coat can develop health concerns such as skin infections, irritation and itching.  Some bleeding may occur when shaved as much needed blood rushes to the area.

Senior Pet Waiver (dog is over 8 years old):

Senior grooming often requires special considerations, as your pets' needs may change. The experience can become stressful du to age and/or health conditions. Due to coat thinning with age, the skin can be more sensitive/fragile. The senior dog may also become less tolerant to de-matting, so extra time is always factored in to the groom. The dog will require extra support and help during the grooming process to assist with standing. Here, at Wizard of Paws, we make sure to limit any stress and provide extra help to ensure the senior pet is at his/her most comfortable. 

Senior pet grooming usually requires a longer appointment time, so your patience while we care for your dog is greatly appreciated.
