All Fur Paws Release Form

Policies

 

• Appointment Times and Cancellations - We schedule appointments on the hour from 8AM-2PM. We ask that you please be on time for your appointment. Any client that arrives over 15 minutes past their appointment will be considered a strike. If you need to cancel your appointment for any reason we ask that you please call by 3PM the day prior to your appointment so that we may fill the appointment time. If you cancel your appointment after the 3pm cut off it will be considered as a strike. We have a three strike policy regarding appointments. The 1st strike is an allowance as we do understand things happen. 2nd strike we will charge 50% of the groom price that will be due at the following appointment. 3rd strike we will no longer be able to schedule any appointments for you in the future. If you no show your first appointment, we will not be able to schedule any appointments for you in the future.

​

• Vaccination Policy - We require all pet to have the state mandated rabies vaccination by 6 months of age and will need to see proof of current vaccination papers unless we have vet verification that your pet is not able to be vaccinated. We do not require any other vaccinations but highly recommend your pet is up to date on all vaccinations.

​​

• Potty Policy - Please make your best effort to potty your pets before your appointment. While we understand accidents happen, it’s much more difficult to clean up an accident in the kennels, especially if they have already started the grooming process.

​

• Flea & Tick Policy - If your pet has fleas and/or an extensive number of ticks we will do a flea and tick treatment at the expense of $8 added to your groom.

​

• Matted Pets - Here at All Fur Paws we believe in humanity before vanity. While we strive to be able to give each pet their owner's preferred haircut, sometimes due to matting we are not able to do so. We are sometimes able to brush out small amounts of matting (at an additional fee), but in certain situations de-matting does more harm than good to the dog and therefore we have no other option than to start over with a very short shave. Dependent upon the severity of the matting there also may be an additional charge even to shave due to extra time taken to carefully shave out matting. We will make every attempt to let you know, either upon check-in or by phone, if we have to de-mat/shave part or all of your pup, but if we are not able to contact you we will proceed with whatever course of action we feel is necessary which may include extra de-matting fees.

​

• Sedated Pets - We are not able to groom pets that are under vet prescribed sedatives. We feel that these pets are better served being groomed at a veterinary office where they can be monitored for any issues that may arise during the grooming process. This does not include mild calming agents such as Benadryl or CBD but we do ask that you let us know if you pet is on any such medications.

​

• Senior Pets - Our senior pups are very precious, so their health and safety is of the utmost importance to us. We take a lot of factors into consideration when we determine our grooming approach to our senior pets. In some instances we may deem it best to provide "comfort grooming" to some of our older pets. This is a groom that we consider being best for the individual dog that may include doing a short haircut all over or not doing certain services that may cause unnecessary stress. These grooms may not always look the best, but we will always do the best we can while keeping the safety of the pet as our top priority. If we ever feel like we can no longer safely groom your pup we may refer you to a vet clinic for grooming where they can be monitored for any issues that may arise during the grooming process.
