Grooming Release Form

Health or medical problems: Occasionally, grooming can expose a hidden medical problem or aggravate a current one. This can occur during or after grooming. Please make sure to alert us of any current or past issues so that we may keep an eye out for them. All medical expenses for veterinary care will be covered by the pets owner upon signing this contract/agreement. Accidents: Although accidents are very rare, there is a risk when dealing with animals. Grooming equipment is sharp, and although we use extreme caution and care in all situations, possible problems could occur including cuts, nicks, scratches, quicking of nails, etc. In most cases this can occur, you will be notified of the accident. If The Dog Society LLC and any of its members, managers, agents, employees, and staff (collectively “The Dog Society“) feels it is serious, and the owner is not on-site, the owner will be notified and The Dog Society will seek immediate veterinary care for your pet with the closest vet clinic. Owner agrees not to hold The Dog Society responsible for any injuries which might result from this grooming process. Veterinarian authorization---Medical Emergencies: This release gives The Dog Society full authorization to seek medical treatment from the nearest vet clinic, in the case of any medical emergencies while in the care of The Dog Society. Owner agrees to pay for any and all expenses involved in obtaining the necessary treatment, including, but not limited to, veterinarian visits, medications, examinations, and surgery. Vaccinations: All pets are REQUIRED to be up to date on their Rabies, Bordetella, and distemper vaccinations in order to receive grooming services. Thank you for your understanding. Bordetella Vaccination: Kennel Cough (similar to a human cold) is a respiratory condition caused by a variety of viruses and bacteria often spread by direct contact by dogs. At The Dog Society, we require that your dog be immunized & lept up to date with their bordetella (Kennel cough) vaccine. Keeping your dog current with their immunization will help to prevent the spread of kennel cough and/or diminish the severity of infection in your pet. With the recommendation that all dogs visiting us be vaccinated against kennel cough, if a pet should become infected, all treatments and costs associated shall be the pet owner’s responsibility. Dangerous or aggressive animals--Refusal of services: The Dog Society has the right to refuse any services at any time. In the event that your pet is too stressed or becomes dangerous to groom, The Dog Society has the right to refuse grooming services, stop grooming services, or cancel grooming services at any time before, during, or after grooming and client will be charged a grooming fee (for what was done up until that point). Matted coats: Animals with severely matted coats require extra attention. Mats in an animal’s coat grow tight, and can ultimately damage and tear the animal’s skin, which provides a breeding ground for parasite infestations. The Dog Society will not cause serious or undue stress to your pet by dematting. Mats can be very difficult to remove, and may require the pet to be shaved. Removing a heavily matted coat can cause nicks, cuts, or abrasions due to skin growth trapped in the mats. Heavy matting can also trap moisture and urine near the pet’s skin allowing mold, fungus or bacteria to grow, producing skin irritations that exist prior to the grooming process. After effects of mat removal procedures can include itchiness, skin redness, self-inflicted irritations or abrasions and failure of the hair to regrow. In some cases, pets need to be shaved to remove matting, by signing below, you acknowledge that you agree to this procedure, and any risk. There will be additional charges for this process, it is time consuming, and causes extra wear and tear on grooming equipment. Cancellation/No shows: We always call every appointment the day before with an appointment reminder (Please confirm that we have the correct number on file). If you are going to miss your appointment for any reason, please contact us ASAP. We require at least a 24 hour notice for all cancellations or rescheduled to allow us time to fill the space with a customer from our waiting list. We will hold grooming appointments for 15 minutes past the scheduled drop-off time. Appointments later than 15 minutes may be released based on demand. No shows and appointments canceled with less than 24 hours notice will incur a $25 fee. Satisfaction: Your satisfaction is very important to us. If you are unhappy for any reason with your pet’s grooming, just contact us within 48 hours and we will schedule a time for you to come back for an adjustment at the next available time for no cost. Late pick up fees: Unlike many salons in town, we allow our customers to leave their dogs with us until close of business at no additional charge. Dogs that are left after their appointment will be placed with the daycare dogs until the owner arrives. Please note that The Dog Society grooming salon closes at 4 p.m. We do know that “Things happen” and therefore we give you a 5 minute cushion past our closing hour to pick up your pet. Anything past the 5 minute cushion we charge $1/minute for every minute you are late past close of business.
