Duty to Inform
WDG does not take aggressive pets or pets who bite for the grooming process. You must inform us if your pet has ever been turned away from another groomer or if they have ever shown signs of aggression such as growling, scratching, snarling or biting. We consider the terms "nipping and snapping" to be biting. California Civil Code 3342 requires you to inform a groomer if your pet has bitten a person before. Withholding this information and your pet bites someone in the salon you will be held liable. If your pet is biting and cannot be calmed or safely groomed you will be called to pick up your pet and the full grooming bill must be paid. WDGwill not be held liable for these types of injuries or for haircuts that are less than satisfactory.
-
Scope of Practice
Groomers are prohibited from treating clients with severe skin abnormalities, open wounds, suspected infections, or infestations.
Clients may return when a veterinary medical professional has determined they are eligible for salon services.
-
Puppies, Vaccines, New Clients
New clients and puppies are always exciting and we feel very lucky to have been chosen by you to care for your pet. We will schedule our day to ensure that you have time to go over grooming and care instructions for your pet. It is not necessary to arrive early and doing so causes an interruption in the grooming of another client and can cause their appoint to go late or cause the pet to become too excited to have their groom finished. Please bring a current copy of your pet’s vaccination records.
DHLP-Parvo and Rabies Vaccinations are needed for the protection of your pet. (rabies vaccination isn’t required for puppies under 6 months of age).
We want your puppy's first few visits to be as pleasant as possible and will make every effort to do so. To make sure your puppy learns to enjoy grooming we ask for that you be flexible with the time your puppy is at our salon. Grooming is a new and overwhelming experience and lots of puppies need rest breaks during the grooming process. Clippers can also be overwhelming for your young puppy and they also might not have the patience yet for grooming. This can result in a simpler cut than requested or skipping specific aspects of the requested cut. We feel that it is better for your puppy to gain trust and learn to accept grooming rather than finishing a cut that is making your pet nervous.escription goes here

Matted or Neglected Coats
Allowing a pet’s coat to get matted is not only very uncomfortable, but unhealthy for your pet. Excessive matting can be avoided with regular grooming appointments. We will de-mat your pet (if possible) at $2 per minute (minimum $10) in addition to the regular grooming fee. De-matting will not be done if it causes pet undue stress or pain or if the pet is under a year old. Excessive de-matting is a painful, time-consuming, and costly procedure that can cause extreme discomfort and can aggravate (or cause) skin problems. In the circumstance where your pet cannot have its mats brushed out or the expense is too much, your pet will receive a “shave down” to remove the mats. Under this circumstance, a shave down is the more compassionate or economical way to groom your pet. Mats are constantly pulling the skin of your pet and are always painful. When ears become matted, it is possible for swelling and break-through bleeding to happen, especially from head shaking and around the tips of the ears. Shaving mats can show bruises, scrapes or other health issues that were hidden before. Wild Dog Grooming will not be held liable if this should arise. Shave downs or custom cuts that are outside a basic pet trim or breed standard cut will be discussed and the groomer will perform the cuts to the best of his/her understanding of client’s directions and his/her ability but no other guarantee is made.
