Your Pet is IMPORTANT to Us!

Because we care about your pet's safety and well being, we want to assure you that every effort will be made to make your pet's visit as pleasant as possible.
Please understand that due to the very nature of being mobile we will occasionally be late for an appointment due to circumstances beyond our control (traffic, accidents, weather, etc.) and cannot be held liable for unavoidable time delays.
Occasionally, grooming can expose a hidden medical problem or aggravate a current one. This can occur during or after grooming. We want to assure you that every precaution will be taken to provide a safe and stress-free grooming experience for your pet. Due to the intimate nature of the grooming process, or a pet's tolerance level for stress, strangers, or handling, some pets can become anxious or reactive during the grooming service. If we determine that continuing the grooming service would present a threat to your dog's emotional or physical health, and/or the safety of groomer completing the service, we will discontinue today's service and contact you immediately. We will take every precaution necessary to complete the grooming service safely and humanely including the proper use of common industry safety equipment such as grooming loops, muzzles, and restraints.
The use of a cage dryer is safer and more comfortable for some dogs. For your dog, we recommend the use of a cage dryer. We will adhere to safe practices when the dryer is in use.
Because your pet is severely tangled or matted, it is at greater risk of injury, stress and trauma. All precautions will be taken. However, problems occasionally arise, during or after grooming, such as nicks, clipper irritation and mental or physical stress. Also, realizing that matted pets have a greater chance of injury during grooming.
It is my obligation to inform you about the risks and possible permanent damage that may occur when the special type of coat on a double-coated dog is cut or shaved down. By signing this form, you understand that, when both layers of the coat are removed, the wooly undercoat will grow back faster and thicker than normal, and the topcoat may take months or years to grow back, if ever. This could become a permanent condition of your dog's coat, and this could expose your dog's sensitive skin to environmental hazards which could lead to conditions needing veterinary care, of which the groomer will not be responsible.

I understand that coloring products do not have the same result on all coats and may be different than expected in shade and vibrancy. And depending on the type of product used, the color may slowly fade over time or can only be removed by cutting the dyed fur, and I have discussed with my groomer the permanency of the product that will be used on my pet. I also understand that color transfer may occur from my pet to other surfaces, such as clothing or furniture. Only pet safe products will be used, but I am aware that any pet can have a reaction to a product and therefore a small patch test will be done prior to coloring.

I hereby authorize the use of photos and/or information related to my pet's experience at this establishment. I understand my pet may be used in publications including electronic, audio visual, promotional literature, advertising, community presentations, letters to area legislators, media and/or in similar ways.

I release this establishment and their respective employees, officers and agents from any and all liability which may arise from the use of such news media stories, promotional materials, written articles, videos and/ or photographic images.
