Pet release waiver
Before booking an appointment, please read our Terms of Service.
*Your pet is important to us. Because we care, we want to assure you that every effort will be taken to make your pets visit as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. Due to the unpredictable behavior of animals, situations arise that are unexpected.
*Occasionally, grooming can expose a hidden medical problem or aggravate a current one. This can occur during or after grooming.
*Please understand that senior pets (age 7 or higher) may have a greater chance of injury.
*If your pet is severely tangled and/or matted, it is a greater risk of injury, stress and trauma. All precautions will be taken. However, problems occasionally arise, during or after grooming, such as nicks, clipper irritation, and mental or physical stress.
