As cases of the new canine respiratory virus continue to arise, we wanted to reach out to our clients to let you know what we are doing to mitigate the chance of transmission in our salon. Being a one on one environment is an advantage for us, but we will be increasing the scope of sanitization between dogs with a cleaner approved for killing viruses. As always, dogs will not interact with each other and we do not offer communal water bowls. We ask that you help us out by waiting outside the door with your pet if there is someone else in the lobby so we have time to sanitize when they leave. Picking up in a timely fashion after the call that your pet is complete will also help us limit the number of dogs in the salon at a time. After speaking with our local vets, we are encouraging everyone to have updated bordetella and canine flu vaccines this season. We also ask that you reschedule your appointment if your pet is showing any signs of illness or has been in a boarding facility within 7 days of your scheduled groom so that we can minimize chances of exposure for the other pets in our care.
We understand this is a scary situation and encourage you to reach out to your veterinarian with any concerns when making decisions about the safety of taking your pet in public until more is known about the virus. However, we will do all we can to make the grooming experience as safe as we can for your pups this holiday season.
