Hi everyone, I had a surgical procedure carried out last Friday and way underestimated just how invasive it was actually going to be, along with this my dad was taken to hospital the following day after suffering a heart attack over a week previous to this thinking he was just suffering the after effects of flu or Covid, he is currently in the best place being cared for, I am currently closed and I will be working my way through all the cancellations when I physically and mentally am able to do so, thank you for your understanding

Terms and Conditions
Lateness and Cancellations Policy
Cancellations to be made 24 hours prior to appointment at latest, please ensure you take all precautions not to miss your appointment.
Late cancellations and missed appointments will incur a cancellation fee of 50% of your appointments cost which will need to be paid before further appointments can be booked.
If you arrive more than 15 minutes late for your appointment you will be asked to reschedule and the cancellation fee will apply.
If you consistently miss appointments, refuse to pay the cancellation fee or arrive late on a number of occasions I may refuse to book in any future appointments and remove your details from my records.

Late Collection Policy
Please make sure you are on time to collect your dogs, I will give you an agreed time or we will agree that I will let you know 30 minutes before they are ready, there will be a leeway of 15 minutes past the agreed time. If you are more than 15 minutes late past the agreed time then a late fee of £5 extra for every 15 minutes that you are late will apply. This charge is in place as I am a one to one groomer and if you are late to pick up your dog it pushes my whole day back or I have to reschedule other clients booked in for that day.

De-matting Policy
At Hairy Dogz I take pride in being a caring and humane groomer and will always put your dogs welfare above all else.
It is an owners duty of care towards their pet to maintain the coat between professional grooms. A lack of regular grooming and care can lead to matted fur that is uncomfortable and painful for your dog and may lead to many health conditions:

• Eye and Ear infections
• Flea infestation
• Fungal and bacterial infections
• Hot spots and sores
• Maggot infestation
• Mites and lice
• Moist eczema
• Severe itching
• Skin rash
• Urine and faeces scalding
• Yeast infections
• Hematomas

Small localised matts I may remove by gently brushing out but if this is not possible without causing your dog discomfort or pain they will be clipped or cut out.
Severely matted dogs will be shaved off with a close blade for their care and wellbeing in accordance with the Animal Welfare Act 2006, it is kinder and quicker for the dog, many dogs are traumatised by unnecessary hours of de-matting, putting them off grooming for life.
De-matting is not included in the price of our grooms, If your dogs coat has to be clipped off there will be an additional charge of £10 to £20 depending on the severity of the matting, this cost contributes towards the extra time spent and the wear caused to my grooming tools.
If you would like to learn how to take care of your dogs coat in between grooms I am very happy to give advice, please feel free to ask.

Flea policy
If I find fleas on your dog during the groom there will be an additional charge of £15 on top of the original groom price, this is to cover costs for fumigating and deep cleaning of the salon.
If you suspect your dog has fleas before their appointment please ring to reschedule as I have to cancel all dogs that are scheduled in after for that day.

Bi***es In Season, Pregnant Dogs
I will not groom your dog if she is pregnant or in season.
Also any dog recently spayed or neutered I ask that you receive the all clear from the vets before I go ahead with their groom.

Aggressive Dogs
I would love to be able to help and groom all dogs but I do not take on aggressive dogs, as I work alone and it would not be safe for me to do so.

Stressed Dogs
I strive to ensure that your dog has a relaxed and enjoyable time whilst in my care, I am always furthering my education and knowledge on how to give your dog the upmost care and different grooming techniques to help your dog have a stress free groom but unfortunately some dogs do find the grooming process or parts of it very stressful.
I will not perform any grooming procedure that will cause your dog excessive stress which may be detrimental to their mental wellbeing or that is putting them or myself in danger of being injured.
I will terminate the groom if your dog becomes too stressed to continue and costs will be owed for any work done to this point.
I may work with your dog to gain their trust and help get them over their fears but these will be in shorter sessions and come at an additional cost to be discussed.
For dogs that need a little more patience, care and extra time due to stress but are able to complete their groom will be charged an additional £15 on top of their original groom price.

Social Media Policy
I love sharing your pets and my grooms on my social media pages and website.
If you do not make me aware, I assume you are happy for me to do so.
I will never share your personal details nor use your pets photo for any other reason with out first making you aware.

Hairy Dogz Disclaimer
By booking an appointment with Hairy Dogz you confirm that all facts supplied below are true.
You agree to pay any charges due for appointments cancelled without adequate notice.
You accept and consent entirely to all of the terms and conditions shown below.
You confirm that your pet is fit, healthy and fully vaccinated.
You agree that the groomer will not be held liable or responsible for irritation, abrasion, patchiness or hair loss due to any pre existing skin condition, or as a result of the process of grooming, de-matting, thinning, stripping or shaving, or any mishap caused by your non disclosure of your pets medical condition or behaviour.
If your pet bites or attempts to bite any person or pet, a muzzle may be used, or at the discretion of the groomer, treatment may stop and you will pay for any work done to that point and will pay the full cost of damages and expense your pet has caused.
If you fail to collect your pet at the agreed time you will pay all extra cost due.
If your pet harbours any parasites I will clear them at your expense.
If your pets health causes concern, I will obtain veterinary treatment for them at your expense.

Update 14/04/2023

Hi everyone, so by 3pm it’s almost agony but some positive news, I had some basic x/rays done with a Chiropractor yesterday, slight curve to my spine (sideways) spine straight down is a little too straight as apposed to the natural curve, pelvis area (I think) slight twist, could be putting pressure on Sciatic Nerve, possible herniated disc Lumber 4/5 region, OMG the crunched that came out of my body yesterday with the Chiropractor were unbelievable, including two neck ones that were possibly related to my car accident in 2019 😂 will hopefully know more Monday or Thursday next week, pain meds have also been increased so everything seems to now be heading in the right direction 😀

**Trading Update**

As some of you already know I have been suffering from Sciatica on and off since January, it suddenly took a turn for the worse just over a week ago and I had to take some time off.

I have been trying different medications for a week and I have found a combination which has slightly taken the edge off allowing me to walk short distances.

I have managed a few short walks since Friday and I am going to attempt to re-open again on Tuesday 11th April with small/medium dogs that are easy to lift if needed.

I will update everyone via text also, will know more after tomorrow.

It was very upsetting having to cancel the doggies and manage the pain last week, I just want to thank all of my cancelled doggies from last week for being so understanding.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow

Many thanks
Colin

🐾🐾🐾🐾 Freddie update 16/10
He’s home, he’s still a poorly boy but he’s in a position where we can carry on his meds at home
🥰🐶

Freddie update 09/10/22
Visited today, we managed to get him to eat so no feeding tube will be required, so relieved, temperature still up and down, still waiting for the antibiotics to start, also waiting for the culture to grow from the sample extracted, if it grows then we know exactly what antibiotics will work. Surgery still a last option 🐶

Trading Update Week Commencing 10/10/22
As some of you are aware, our little boy Freddie is very unwell at moment, there is a possibility that I will need to move appointments next week so that I know I am available for his care and support.
I will of course message everyone individually once I know more tomorrow (Sunday).
Freddie is our baby and as you can imagine it’s an extremely emotional time, after being in and out of the emergency vets since Tuesday he is now in the care of one of the country’s largest specialist veterinary facilities in Wi******er. They have discovered an abscess behind his diaphragm which was probably caused by a migrating grass seed, back in July he was treated for pneumonia which was also a scary time for us, it’s highly probable that this was actually caused by Freddie inhaling a grass seed which then lodged in his lungs but did not show on x-rays, after treatment for this his symptoms soon lifted and he was back to his normal crazy self, unbeknown to us, this seed then likely travelled through his lung and became lodged behind his diaphragm creating an abscess. Along with this he has also been diagnosed with a small heart murmur with a thickening of one of his heart valves, this isn’t a serious condition in itself and will remain monitored. He is experiencing a lot of pain which is affecting his spine and back legs, he’s on all sorts of pain relief and antibiotic IV, so far he’s not shown any signs of improvement so we are unsure at the moment whether surgery will be needed, as I said I will hopefully know more tomorrow, love you Freddie, please get well soon 🥰🐶

Hall of fame update 😍🐶🐾

10/07/2022

Hi everyone, due to increased operating, rent and utility costs I must increase my prices from 1st August 2022. This is the first time I have increased my prices in over 2 years so I am sure you will understand, thank you so much for your continued support 😀🐶

10/07/2022

It’s going to be a scorcher this week, earlier this year I had a commercial air conditioning unit fitted to the parlour so whilst your doggies are in my care they will be kept nice and cool, please take extra care when bringing and collecting your doggies to & from the parlour. I totally understand if you are concerned about the heat, if you would prefer to reschedule any of your appointments to a cooler week just let me know 😀🐶
