CLIENT GROOMING AGREEMENT AND POLICIES

Current Vaccinations/Veterinarian Information:
By using our services , owners verify their dogs are up to date with vaccinations for canine parvovirus, canine distemper virus, Leptospirosis and Infectious canine hepatitis. Health or Medical Problems & Senior Dogs:
Grooming procedures can sometimes be stressful, especially for a senior d

og or dog with health problems, and can expose hidden medical problems or aggravate a current one during or after the groom. In the best interest of your pet this contract/agreement will give Rolling Bones Groomers permission to obtain immediate Veterinary treatment for your pet should it be deemed necessary by us. We will do our best to contact you first, then take your pet to our authorised Veterinarian, or to the nearest Veterinarian that is available. It is agreed that all expenses for Veterinary care will be covered by the pet’s owner. Fleas/Ticks:
Rolling Bones Groomers strives to be flea or tick infestation we will ask that you reschedule your grooming appointment once the flea or tick problem is under control. Dogs with a flea or tick infestation carry a risk of anemia, infections, tapeworms and other health problems. We recommend that you contact your veterinarian for advice on the best treatment for your situation. A topical monthly flea preventative may be the most effective choice. Treating all pets in the family, as well as treating your home will help in keeping fleas and ticks under control for the long term. If fleas are found on your dog we will bathe your dog in a flea shampoo and have to treat the salon, this will incur a £10 charge on your grooming bill. If ticks are found an additional charge of £5 will be added for their removal. Accidents:
There is always the possibility an accident could occur. Grooming equipment is sharp, even though we use extreme caution and care in all situations. Possible problems that could occur include cuts, nicks, scratches and quicking of the nails. In most cases this can happen when a dog is wiggling or moving around. We make every effort to ensure your dog is groomed as safely as possible, but if your dog does not accept the process it can be dangerous to continue the groom. Matted Coats:
Dogs with severely matted coats need extra attention. Mats in a dogs coat grow tight, and can strangle the dogs skin, or eventually tear it open. Rolling Bones Groomers will not cause serious or undue stress to your dog by de-matting for more than 15 minutes as specified by the Animal Welfare Act 2006. Mats can be very difficult to remove, and may require the pet to be shaved. When necessary, removing a heavily matted coat includes risks of nicks, cuts or abrasions due to warts, moles or skin folds trapped in the mats. Heavy matting can also trap moisture and urine near the dogs skin allowing mold, fungus or bacteria to grow, causing skin irritations that existed prior to the grooming process. Torn skin from mats can even harbor maggots. After effects of mat removal procedures can include itchiness, skin redness, self-inflicted irritations or abrasions and failure of the hair to regrow. Shaved dogs are also prone to sunburn and should either have sunscreen applied daily or should be kept out of the sun until the hair grows sufficiently to protect the skin. In some cases dogs may also exhibit brief behavioral changes. Prevention is the best defense against matting by scheduling regular grooming appointments. If your dog needs to be shaved to remove matting, by signed below you acknowledge that you agree to this procedure, and any risk and any additional charges that will be commensurate to the additional work required. Aggressive or Dangerous Dogs:
Owners MUST inform us if your dog bites, has bitten or is aggressive to people, other pets or specific grooming procedures. I reserve the right to refuse or stop services of your dog at any time before or during the grooming process and/or charge an Aggressive Dog Fee commensurate to the additional handling required to complete the groom in addition to the regular grooming charge. If your dog should bite the owner agrees to be responsible for any and all related medical bills, recovery costs, loss of income and equipment damage. Hold Harmless Agreement:
By using our services you agree to hold Rolling Bones Groomers, it’s owners, employees and directors harmless from any damage, loss, or claim arising from any condition of the undersigned dog, either known or unknown to us. It is also further understood and agreed the terms of this agreement can change at any time, without notice, and will overwrite any and all prior signed contracts or releases. It is further understood this clause applies to any and all dogs groomed.

Lets talk about Winter coat care 🌧

Along with Winter comes rain and snow which means extra care is needed to keep your dog’s coat in tip top condition.

A lot of customers generally ask for their dogs coat to be kept longer in winter but it is actually much better for your dog and their coat to keep them at their regular length or even think about taking them a little shorter.

Why?
Extra length means your pet actually holds water which in turn makes them colder and they stay wet for longer. This can also cause sores on your pets belly and between the toes due moisture.
Most dogs spent 90% of their day indoors with central heating and tend to go on shorter walks during the winter months due to bad weather and less daylight hours so the extra hair you feel they need to keep warm may not actually be necessary.

Here are a few tips on the ways you can help keep your dogs coat in better condition this winter…

•Instead of rubbing your dog with a towel, pat them dry, rubbing causes friction and damage which in turn causes matting.

•If you notice your dog has any tangles in their coat brush these out before taking them out in the rain or on return rinse them and brush out while the coat is still wet, I know this sounds crazy as we are always taught not to brush our hair wet.
A small tangle when wet gets tighter as it dries and extra hair joins the tangle creating a mat. So if it is necessary to rinse your dog, pat dry with a towel then spray with a little leave in conditioner and brush while still wet. This will stop a tangle from turning in to a mat which can pull on your dog’s skin and insure the coat stays healthy and free from damage.

•If you do want to keep your pet longer for winter it is actually advised to have them groomed more often!
Why?
When a coat is not trimmed regularly but you are brushing it is like our hair, it becomes damaged, which in turn makes the coat harder to manage, also matting against the skin will hold water longer and cause pain.
So it is actually better for the coat to have regular baths and trims rather than leaving the coat to grow but this is the case at any time of year, not just winter.

I am always happy to do mid groom bath, brush and tidies if you are struggling with up keep at home.
Bringing your dog in more regularly ensures we can keep your chosen style and length rather than having no option other than to go short due to matting and damage.
If you do struggle, please message me, your pets comfort and keeping your dog in the style you like is always my top priority. 🧡🍂
