POLICIES
All Prices Assume A Reasonable Condition and Temperament.
Additional charges will apply for the extra time and products involved in grooming neglected coats, in-particular those which require clipping off due to severe matting and for dogs whose temperament or health also requires more time to complete.
Aggressive dogs are not accepted.
Vaccinations
By using the services of Snobby Dogs Grooming Parlours, owners must confirm that their dog is u to date with their annual vaccinations against Canine Distemper, Canine Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Canine Parvovirus and Canine Kennel Cough. An unvaccinated dog will put itself and others at risk. Snobby Dogs Grooming Parlour Ltd takes no responsibility for any dog that may contract any disease. You may be be asked for proof of vaccination and veterinary information which must be provided.
As a salon which promotes Responsible Dog Ownership we do not de-matt neglected coats.
This is very different to removing small knots, tangles and isolated matted hair from the coat which can be achieved quickly without causing anxiety, stress or pain.
The health and condition of a dogs coat and skin are the responsibility of the owner (along with its physical and psychological state of health.) Professional grooming plays an important role in the commitment undertaken when choosing any breed of dog. This level of commitment is evident in the condition of the coat due to effective home grooming and temperament due to socialisation & training.
Final Price
This will be determined taking all factors into consideration. A well cared for pet which is maintained in a reasonable condition between grooming appointments and exhibits normal behaviour is usually the price shown on our individual Salon’s Price Guide. All dogs are assessed and priced individually and on an on-going basis.
If we cannot safely complete your dog within the guidelines of the animal welfare act 2006 due to behaviour, aggressive or otherwise, we will call you to let you know. Fee’s will apply. If this is the case, behavioural training is normally recommended as a course of action for you to take.
No Shows/Missed Appointments without 24 hours notice will incur a minimum fee of £15.00 payable at your next appointment.
Arriving 20 minutes or more late for appointments will in most cases require re-scheduling and a minimum missed appointment fee of £15.00 will apply.
Appointment times
We kindly request that you arrive at the time of your appointment and pick your pet up in reasonable time as advised.
Once 30 minutes has elapsed after the arranged collection time a £10 charge per hour will be added to the final price unless previously arranged. This is to discourage pets being left with us for extended periods.
Clipping Off due to a neglected severely matted coat.
Please note that clipping off is not part of our general grooming services and cases will be assessed on an individual basis. If after careful consideration for your pet’s welfare that this can be best achieved in the salon environment we will discuss the procedure and cost.
