Accidents are rare but they do occur. We are handling sharp tools around moving, feeling creatures. We employ extra caution and care in all cases, however, cuts, nicks, scratches, quicking of nails, and other issues are conceivable. The safety and comfort of your pet is our first priority. In the unlikely event that an accident occurs, you will be alerted.

If we believe the situation is critical and the owner is unavailable in the event of a medical emergency while in our care, this release grants us full authority to seek medical attention from the nearest vet clinic at the owners expense. If the owner is available, arrangements will be made to meet at the vet or for the animal(s) to be picked up by the owner to take themselves.
Allergic Reactions to Grooming Products
You recognize that new grooming products will be used on your dog, to include but not limited to, shampoos, conditioners, de-matting sprays, etc. If your dog has had any type of allergic reaction to products in the past, you have expressed these matters with me above. If your dog does have sensitive skin or allergies, I will always advise to use a hypoallergenic shampoo. It is your responsibility to disclose previous or current skin allergies or irritations.
Vaccines
It is strongly advised that all pets be up to date on vaccinations (distemper/parvo, bordetella, rabies) in order to get grooming services.

If at any time Faith & Fido LLC is required to have record of vaccinations, I will be able to provide that proof.
Ticks & Fleas
We make every effort to be a flea-free environment. If your pet has fleas, they will receive a flea bath. You will be charged an extra fee depending on size of dog. The fee helps cover cost of flea products used and post-cleaning required to sanitize the facility for other clients.

You can reschedule your appointment after the matter has been resolved (which may incur an additional cancellation fee if less than 24 hr notice is given) if you do not want them to get a flea bath.
Services for Dangerous or Aggressive Animals

Muzzles, Cones and Restraints May Be Used
If your pet is too agitated or becomes unsafe to groom, we reserve the right to refuse any additional service before, during, or after grooming, and the client will be charged a grooming fee for what was done up until that point.

We don't muzzle unless your pet specifically requires it. Other techniques of calming your pet are explored first, and muzzling is only used as a last resort.

Other restraints used are basic grooming tools, such as the groomer's helper, groom loop, and padded belly strap. Any of these items can be shown to the owner on request, and are only used the length of time necessary to help the groom be completed.

Muzzling or coning your pet is harmless, and it protects both the pet and the groomer should the animal be scared or have behavioral issues. Muzzling a scared animal can sometimes even calm it down, allowing the grooming process to continue.

If your pet continues to be harmful, we reserve the right to terminate grooming services at any point, and charge a service fee. Dogs who require muzzling or additional employees to manage will be charged at a higher fee than usual as grooming aggressive or frightened dogs takes significantly longer.
Payment
Payment is due at pickup. If you are unable to pick up and an alternate is coming, please pay in advance or ensure they have the ability to pay the fee in full. We accept credit, debit, check, cash, zelle, and cashapp.
Cancellations/No Shows
We phone, text, or email a reminder 1-3 days before appointments (please confirm that we have the correct number on file). We require a response to this reminder message. No response may be taken as a cancellation and your appointment slot may be given away to another client.

If you are going to be late for any reason, please let us know as soon as possible. All cancellations or reschedules require at least a 48-hour notice. No-shows and appointments canceled with less than 48 hours notice will require a $25 deposit when scheduling your next appointment.

Grooming appointments will be held for 15 minutes after the stated drop-off time. Appointments that are more than 15 minutes late may be canceled if the appointment cannot be completed in the remaining time, as we schedule back to back and timing is vital.
Interruptions During Grooming Services
It is requested that you do not interrupt the groomer during grooming services. Please do not enter the shop until you have gotten a phone call or text from us informing that your pet is ready. Please contact us if you have any questions after dropping off – by text is best – but repeated phone calls cannot be answered for safety reasons.*

I Agree
Satisfaction
Your satisfaction is extremely important to us. If you are dissatisfied with your groom for any reason, please contact us within 48 hours and we will organize a time for you to return for a free adjustment at the next available time within 7 days of the original groom.
