DOG GROOMING CONTRACT
Conditions under which dogs are accepted for grooming
The dog is fit and healthy. Grooming of sick or elderly dogs is entirely at the owner's risk. Grooming may expose underlying skin or health problems that we cannot be held liable for.
The dog is vaccinated up-to-date. An unvaccinated dog puts its and others at risk.
It must be clearly understood and agreed that whilst every care and attention is given to your dog)s) they are accepted at the owner's risk. Our first concern is for the welfare of your dog so in the event of injury or illness a Vet may be called in and unless it can be clearly shown that we are liable, all costs in the connection and in the carrying out of the Vet's instruction shall be at the owner's expense. We recommend Dog Insurance.
Payment will be made on collection of your dog. Estimates are based on an average dog of the breed or type but owners must remember that some dogs will require extensive extra work and that this will be charged on an hourly basis. Owners must collect dogs at time stated. Uncollected dogs will be charged a boarding fee.
Shaving of dogs will dramatically change their appearance. The hair will be very short and close to the skin. This may expose pre-existing skin complaints. Your written permission will be required to shave off a dematted coat.
Under no circumstances do we accept sedated dogs.
These conditions do not affect your statutory rights.
