Hi Guys,
Can we have a chat about fleas, for the last few weeks we are seeing an increase in dogs with fleas coming into the salon.
When we have a dog with fleas we need to isolate them to a separate room, deep clean the cages and the bath they were in. Cancel the next dogs so we can hoover and spray everything down.
We are a salon who will not tolerate fleas and we donβt want to pass on fleas to responsible dog owners who treat regularly.
As a small business we cannot absorb these costs, upsetting our routine, stopping to clean, cancelling our next dogs, and its upsetting for us to ring customers to tell them to come and collect their dog, this all takes time.
As a business I cannot absorb the costs and from the end of last week we started to charge full price plus smoke bombs if your dog has to be sent home without being groomed .
Please do not buy flea treatments from any other source but your vet. They may not be as strong and effective, itβs not that expensive to treat your pet with vet prescribed medication
If you suspect fleas, rub your dog with a white damp cloth if it turns red your dog has fleas.
Please check your dog regularly and if fleas are discovered give us as much notice as possible to postpone your appointment and then follow veterinary advice before rebooking another appointment
