Good evening, everyone!
We are making this post and announcement to keep you all up-to-date that follow our page. There will also be a mass text sent out to all of our current and new clients with and without current appointments booked.
HOURS CHANGE:
Recently, we have been having trouble getting to appointments on time based upon when we open. Because of this, we have decided that we will be changing our hours and removing a day from the schedule to allow ourselves to get two full days of time-off. Here are the new hours:
MONDAY - THURSDAY: 10AM to 6PM.
FRIDAY: CLOSED.
SATURDAY: 11AM to 3PM.
SUNDAY: CLOSED.
These hours have been implemented so we can better serve you all on time. We want to be respectful of getting to you on time (unless there is a reason for it; for example, traffic or a serious incident) and bringing you the best mobile pet service we can bring!
All current appointments booked outside of these times will stay in place, but as we move forward, these will be the new hours to follow.
POLICY CHANGES:
We have recently had an influx of clients wanting to pay via invoice payments, which is perfectly okay with us at The Woofs’ Den! However, to ensure that the invoice is paid in a timely manner, we are implementing a Late Invoice Payment fee. We give up to 48 hours for a client to pay their invoice, if it has not been paid 30 minutes to an hour after the appointment has been completed. We will give appropriate reminders within the 48 hours (to ensure we are not pestering or bothering you, we will only do this twice in the 48 hours) to ensure that you are aware that this invoice needs to be paid. If the invoice is not paid and a fee is tacked on, it is a $20 fee added to your invoice once a week after the 48 hours has gone. We are putting this in place because while we are doing this to make sure you and your pets have an easy, comfortable experience with us as a mobile grooming service, in order for us to continue to provide such service, we have to have the funds to continue.
These policies will be updated by the end of the week and we will be sending a mass text out to all current and new clients with or without appointments that has the new service policies form that must be signed by all of our clients. This form is only signed once, unless we make changes to it - then, you will simply sign the new one. Please, make sure to read it over and understand the documentation you are signing.
OTHER MISC INFORMATION:
We have had a lot of clients booking appointments 24 hours or less than 24 hours before the appointment. We require at least a minimum of 48 hours of notice, as we have to accept the booking and ensure that your pet is within our weight and age limit. Please make sure you are booking at least 48 hours away.
As for our age and weight limit, we have a weight limit of 65 pounds with very few exceptions. Any dogs that are above the weight of 40 pounds MUST be booked on Saturdays. We have this policy in place because our grooming van is very small and it is difficult for the larger dogs to walk across the small bridge we have connecting to the bathtub. We don’t want your pet to get injured when they’re being moved into the tub.
Our age limit is 11 years and older. We do not take dogs above the 11 years old mark. This is due to a multitude of health issues these old pups could have. While we understand that a lot of pups that are on the older side don’t have any health issues, the grooming scene can be very stressful for older dogs, which can cause them to overwhelm themselves and potentially cause harm to themselves or others. We recommend speaking with a vet with grooming services in their facilities, or finding a groomer that is more suitable for older pups. It’s not that we don’t love the older furbabies; we just want them to be safe and happy and clean in an environment where they’ll be able to be taken care of immediately if something were to happen.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know and we will answer them as soon as we are able. We hope you all have a wonderful rest of your evening and night! We can’t wait to see you and your pups soon! Thank you!
