Every Client will be asked to read and sign the All Fur Love Mobile Dog Grooming LLC Policy Agreement prior to any grooming services being performed.

Client hereby entrusts pet(s) to All Fur Love for the purpose of grooming services.

PAYMENT INFORMATION
Payment is due at time of service. All Fur Love accepts check or credit card.  Checks returned for insufficient funds will incur a fee of $25, plus any fee my bank may charge. No further service will be provided until this fee is paid.

CANCELLATION POLICY / NO SHOW / TRIP FEE
On rare occasions, All Fur Love may need to cancel your appointment due to equipment failure, weather, illness, etc. Every effort will be made to contact Client in advance to reschedule. If Client cannot keep their appointment, please contact All Fur Love AT LEAST 48 hours in advance. Failure to do so or failure to have pet(s) available at the scheduled time will result in a charge of $50. Failure to call before the groomer’s arrival will require full payment for the groom.  All scheduled multiple pet clients who may decide not to groom one of their pets at the last moment will be charged the full grooming amount, which must be paid at the time of the appointment. Ultimately, it is the Client’s responsibility to keep track of their scheduled appointments.  However, All Fur Love will send an email and/or text message one business day ahead to confirm and remind Client. If you are a first time client and you are a no show when the groomer arrives for your scheduled appointment, All Fur Love will not schedule any future appointments.

APPOINTMENT TIMES
An appointment time is an ‘estimated time of arrival’. Arrival time will be within a 1-2 hour time span.  As a mobile service, All Fur Love’s schedule is subject to interruptions and delays, such as, but not limited to: Refueling, traffic, driving distance from previous appointment and running over on a previous appointment.  If All Fur Love feels they will be more than 15 minutes early or late, All Fur Love will try to contact Client.

LATCHKEY SERVICE
All Fur Love offers a ‘key on file service’.  Client provides All Fur Love with a key to keep on file, a garage code, or some other form of access to the home. All Fur Love will come to Client’s home to groom Client’s pet and Client will leave an approved form of payment.  All Fur Love will not be held responsible for damages or theft to Client’s home or property while on the service call for grooming Client’s pet(s).

MATTED OR NEGLECTED COAT
Excessive de-matting is a painful, time-consuming and costly procedure that causes extreme discomfort and can aggravate or cause skin problems. Client is aware that neglect of the pet’s coat can be cause for problems after grooming, such as clipper/brush irritation. If Client’s pet does not remain still, accidents can happen such as, cuts, nicks, etc. from clippers or scissors. It is at All Fur Love’s discretion to determine if it is safe for the pet to be de-matted. If not, a “shave-down” of the pet’s coat will be completed. Shaving the pet may dramatically change the pet’s appearance and the hair will be very close to the skin. This may expose pre-existing skin conditions. Client will receive an additional fee for shave-down. Closely shaved pets are also prone to sunburn and should either have sun screen applied daily or should be kept out of the sun until the hair grows sufficiently to protect the skin. In some cases, pets may also exhibit brief behavioral changes. In certain breeds and coat types, the coat may not grow back the same. Removing a heavily matted coat includes the risk of nicks, cuts and/or abrasions due to moles, warts or skin folds trapped in the mats. Heavy matting can also trap moisture near the pet’s skin, which can cause mold, fungus, bacteria or skin irritations to exist prior to the grooming process.  The after-effects of mat removal procedures may include itchiness, skin redness, self-inflicted irritations or abrasions, or failure of hair to re-grow.  Client is responsible for the condition of the pet’s coat and will not hold All Fur Love responsible in the event of adverse effects of mat removal.

CURRENT VACCINATIONS/VETERINARY INFORMATION
The pet’s safety is first at All Fur Love. All Fur Love requires a current rabies vaccination expiration date before any grooming services will be performed. Proof of Rabies Vaccination shall be provided to All Fur Love upon request as well as current Veterinarian information.

SAFETY / DOG BEHAVIOR
Client must inform All Fur Love prior to grooming if the pet has bitten someone or has aggressive tendencies. All Fur Love will not accept any aggressive dogs. If false representations about the pet’s behavior were made when asked during booking of an appointment, All Fur Love will discontinue services and Client will still be responsible for the full grooming charge.  Client will be liable for any bites or any property damage caused by their pet(s).  For Groomer’s safety as well as the pet’s, All Fur Love has the right to refuse service in the event that a pet that cannot be handled safely.  FOR OVERLY AGGRESSIVE OR OVERLY STRESSED PETS, ALL FUR LOVE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN YOU AS A CLIENT.

SENIOR PETS AND PETS WITH HEALTH ISSUES
Grooming procedures sometimes can be stressful, especially for a senior pet or a pet with health problems. Because senior pets and pets with health problems have a greater chance of injury, these pets will be groomed for cleanliness and comfort, in styles that will not add to their stress. All Fur Love will not be responsible for accident or injury to an elderly or health-compromised pet during their grooming.

FLEA/TICK INFESTATION / SALON SANITATION
Flea and tick infestation cannot be tolerated. Client is responsible for keeping their pet(s) flea and tick free. If a flea or tick is found on the pet, All Fur Love will administer a flea and tick shampoo to eradicate the fleas in order to maintain salon sanitation. If All Fur Love finds an infestation of fleas or ticks on a pet, an additional $75 de-bug cleaning fee will be added in addition to the groom fee for this service. There may be side effects with the flea and tick shampoo, including but not limited to allergic reactions, which may result from the manufacturer-recommended usage of said products, which Client agrees that All Fur Love will not be held responsible for.  Additionally, Client is aware that any such treatments are not guaranteed to be one hundred percent (100%) effective.

PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS
Occasionally, grooming can expose a hidden medical problem or aggravate a current one.  This can occur during or after grooming and may require immediate medical attention.  In the best interest of the pet, Client designates All Fur Love as Agent and understands that if All Fur Love is unable to contact Client first, then All Fur Love, in its sole discretion, may engage the services of a veterinarian at Client’s expense.
