If a dog will not tolerate a process to the risk of their safety, I will end the groom or that part of the groom. I will always notify you, either immediately or on collection, of any such incidents, and will record them in the accident log. By booking your dog in for a groom you consent to me applying emergency first-aid treatment as appropriate (I have received training in canine first aid within the last 12 months).

Examples of this are: skin irritation, quicked nails, nicks, cuts etc. The Artful Dog Grooming Parlour exercises all due caution and care when grooming, but sometimes accidents happen. You accept that grooming equipment is sharp, and that dogs wriggle and may be unpredictable. If your dog bites or acts in such a way to cause injury or material damage, you are agree to pay any and all related medical bills, recovery costs, loss of income and equipment damage.

In such instances, you agree to paying the full cost of the groom. However, in the case of biting, you agree to my stopping the groom and to me applying a muzzle if I feel there is a reasonable risk to your dog’s safety to my safety to the safety of any other animal or person in the immediate vicinity or a risk to equipment, or fixtures and fittings. You, the Customer agree to truthfully inform The Artful Dog Grooming Parlour of any sensitivities or triggers that may lead to your dog to becoming anxious and/or aggressive during the groom.Īt The Artful Dog, I will not apply a muzzle in order to continue a groom with a dog who is biting or attempting to bite, as these are signs that they are over their tolerance threshold.

I will always be honest and communicate if there is a change in their usual behaviour that may affect the time or outcome of the groom.

Because of this I cannot always guarantee exactly the same finish per groom and there may be days where your dog needs more time to complete their groom than usual. Factors outside of grooming may contribute to the stress they are feeling while inside the salon. Failure to follow recommended activities or programs may result in an anxious dog and/or additional grooming fees.Īt The Artful Dog Grooming Parlour I also see your dog as an individual. My goal is to help your dog(s) see grooming as a positive - or, at the very least, tolerable - experience. I may also recommend familiarisation or desensitisation sessions (at a cost) home-based coat maintenance and/or counter-conditioning exercises or a regular grooming schedule in order to better accustom your pet to being groomed. I ask for your understanding and patience when some things are not possible or take longer to achieve in order to create a positive impact on your dog's association with grooming. In practice this means I will not push a dog through a grooming process before they are ready for it, or if I feel there will be a long-term detrimental impact to their emotional health, in their trust in grooming, or in me as their groomer.įor the benefit of your dog(s) it may be necessary to split their appointment into multiple sessions across several days to allow them breaks in between to decompress.īecause of this, I always make best endeavours to complete a groom, but cannot guarantee what can be done at each appointment. This means putting the welfare, comfort and safety of the pets in my care above the requirement for an aesthetically pleasing, or even complete groom. You agree to provide Proof of Vaccination to The Artful Dog Grooming Parlour on request, as well as current Veterinarian information.Īt The Artful Dog Grooming Parlour I follow the principles of consent-based grooming. You, the Customer, confirm that when bringing your dog in for a groom that they are up to date with vaccinations for canine parvovirus, canine distemper virus, Leptospirosis and Infectious canine hepatitis.
