1. Safety

LPG uses the utmost diligence when grooming pets but we are working with sharp instruments and wiggly pets so accidents can happen. If we feel that we cannot safely groom your pet, we will stop and charges will be based on the amount of work done up to that point.

Initials:

2. Liability

LPG is fully insured in the event we are the cause of property damage or injury to your pet. LPG is not responsible for damage or injury that are the result of a pet's age, an existing health condition, or a pet's behavior, which include but are not limited to the pet running away and/or biting someone else or another pet. Medical and/or legal fees associated with the injuries caused by your pet will be your sole responsibility.

Initials:

3. Mat Removal and Skin Condition

Removing a heavily matted coat includes risks of nicks, cuts or abrasions due to skin conditions such as warts, moles or skin folds trapped in the mats. Heavy matting also can trap moisture near the pet's skin allowing mold, fungus or bacteria to grow, causing skin irritations that exist prior to the grooming process. After-effects of mat removal procedures can include itchiness, skin redness, self-inflicted irritations or abrasions and failure of the hair to re-grow. LPG is not responsible in the event of adverse effects of mat removal. I understand I may need to apply sunscreen to my shaved pet until enough hair grows back for protection. I also understand my pet may exhibit brief behavioral changes as a result of shaving.

Initials:

4. Flea Control

LPG is a flea-free environment. To remain flea-free, flea treatment will be administered at the first sign of fleas. I give LPG permission to administer this treatment and agree to pay the product charge if fleas are detected during my pet's grooming appointment.

Initials:

5. Senior Pets and Pets with Health Problems

Senior pets and pets with health problems have a greater chance of injury because they have a more difficult time with being groomed. They tend to be sore and sometimes nippy if something pulls or hurts them, and easily distracted making it difficult to get them to stand still. Therefore, these pets will be groomed for cleanliness and comfort in styles that will not add to their stress. Your pet's comfort comes first. We will do the best job we can given the condition of the pet, but you, as the owner, should advise LPG of any health problems or nervous tendencies so that we can take the right precautions.

Initials:

6. Aggressive Pets

To ensure a safe environment for our groomers and your pets, please inform us prior to grooming if your pet has bitten someone or has aggressive tendencies. We do not use tranquilizers while having your pet groomed. We do use muzzles if a dog is showing signs of aggression, but we always give the benefit of the doubt first. We reserve the right to stop the grooming process if the groomer feels your pet's behavior is compromising his or her safety or the safety of your pet. Prorated charges may apply.

Initials:

7. Vaccinations

LPG recommends all pets to be vaccinated against distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza adenovirus type 2, parvovirus, leptospirosis, bordetella and rabies prior to being groomed; consult your veterinarian in all such respects.

Initials:

8. Veterinary Care

If my pet becomes ill or is hurt and the services of a veterinarian are required, I hereby give LPG permission and authorization to obtain treatment if I am not available to do so, and I agree to pay any related expenses if the injury was not a result of negligence by LPG.

Initials:

9. Payment Policy

All grooming fees must be paid by cash, credit or debit at the time of picking up your pet. In the event that you arrive to pick up your pet with the intentions to pay by credit or debit and your card is rejected, LPG will hold your pet for a maximum of 30 minutes to allow you time to secure an alternative form of payment.

Initials:

10. Grooming Process

The groomer will go over the type of cut you would like for your pet, you tell us what you want and we'll tell you if we can do it. The first couple of times are the hardest as we are trying to figure out exactly what look you are going for. We will try to accomplish the look you desire, but if we don't get it right, please let us know what needs to change right away so we can address immediately, if possible, or make notes for the next time. If it is something we can fix now, we will be happy to do it at no charge as long as you bring it to our attention within a 24-hour period. After 24 hours, regular fees may apply.

Initials:

11. Release of Liability

I understand and do agree to the above terms for the grooming and maintenance of my pet(s) and in consideration of the grooming services of Lovely Pet Grooming, agree to hold harmless from damage, loss or claims arising from any known or unknown pre-existing condition of my pet(s). The terms, special services or handling shall include but are not limited to veterinarian services in the event I am not available. I authorize Lovely Pet Grooming to act as my agent in the event emergency veterinarian services are necessary and I agree to pay all costs. Any/all damages, loss or claim shall include, but not be limited to death, injury or shock. Said pre-existing shall include, but not be limited to illness, previous injury, skin or coat conditions, medical conditions, advanced age or nervousness.
