Double Coated/Short Hair Shave Down

Double Coated/Short Hair Shave Down
It is known that there can be a variety of skin and hair coat care problems that may occur after a complete shave down of a dog, particularly the double coated dogs (like huskys, shepherd) or those often referred to as the fur bearing rather than hair bearing dogs. This also includes short-haired dogs (chihuahuas, labs)

Those problems may be the following but not limited to:
- Loss of hair growth
- “Coat Funk”- the coat not growing back in the same texture and/or color prior to shaving, making matting a bigger possibility than it would be otherwise
- Bald patches
- Hyper pigmentation of the skin- Darkening of the skin where the coat has not grown back
- Sunburn
- Loss of Guard Coat - Top Layer of Coat
- Coat re-growth in different direction (cowlick’s)
Knowing that any and all of the above conditions can occur I, the owner of this pet, authorize Faith & Fido to shave down my pet.
I hold Rachel and Faith & Fido, LLC, harmless of any liability should any of the mentioned conditions occur to my pet at any point after the groom.

I know and understand that after being shaved, if the shave is extremely short, I should apply sunscreen to my dog prior to them going outside for at least the next three weeks to protect them.

I have read and agree to this waiver.
