Mutt Cutts by Kate & Mutt Cutts by Tammy
Agreement
“MCBK” forthright:
POLICY:
Mutt Cutts by Kate & Mutt Cutts by Tammy is a small business - soul proprietorship. You are agreeing to the grooming services of your pet by Mutt Cutts by Kate & Tammy. MCBK is a licensed business in the state of North Dakota with a skilled groomer.
We always attempt excellence but many factors can prevent us from doing just that.
If your pet has dark nails, cutting close to the quick can be tricky. To prevent this, we will take a small amount off and recommend a 1-2 week follow up. This time allows your animals quick to go back to its normal placement and allow a closer trim. If your dog is clipped too close, I will use Kwik-Stop to prevent bleeding and infection.
Breed specific mats: Matting is very common in long fur breed animals. If your animal has mats and you DO NOT request them removed via shaving, we will add an additional $10/hr to de-mat your pet. If the mats are too severe to remove at the comfort of your pet and you DO NOT select shaving, we will shave them out. Your pets comfort is our #1 priority.
Pet Behaviour
We reserve the right to refuse to groom aggressive or difficult dogs with behavioural problems. The owner must agree to inform us if their dog is known to be aggressive or has ever bitten anyone. The owner understands that they will be legally liable for the consequences of all bites caused by their dog. If a dog shows excessive aggression during the groom we have the right to use a soft muzzle. If we are unable to complete a groom due to aggressive behaviour or injury to groomer or pet, the owner agrees to pay for any work carried out to that point.
Pet Welfare
We will carry out a health check before and during the grooming session and will notify the owner of anything we find. It will be the owner’s responsibility to seek veterinary advice. We are not medical professionals and our health checks do not replace the need to take your dog to the vets for check-ups, advice and treatment.
If any parasites are found during the grooming session the client agrees for them to be cleared at the client’s expense plus any subsequent costs for cleaning and decontamination.
If the pet’s health causes concern, the client authorises 'Mutt Cutts by Kate' to obtain veterinary treatment at the client’s expense.
Matted Fur
Short de-matting grooming sessions are available at an extra cost and the owner agrees to pay the cost whether or not the groomer is able to complete the job. If your dog has a severely matted coat our policy is to remove the coat by shaving close to the skin using electric clippers. This can, in some cases, cause skin irritation or skin nicks from the close shaving. I the client agree that MCBK will not be held responsible for any affect that this has after the grooming session is complete.
Disclaimer
I the client confirm my pet is fit healthy and have informed the groomer of any health conditions and all details provided are correct. I agree that the groomer will not be held liable or responsible for irritation, abrasion, patchiness or hair loss due to any pre-existing skin conditions or as a result of the process of grooming, de-matting, thinning, stripping or shaving or any other mishap caused by my non-disclosure of my pet’s medical condition or behaviour.
