At It's Grooming Time we offer a number of services available to meet your pets needs.
Each pet will have his/her own private evaluation.
The evaluation will check for coat condition, skin problems, fleas/ticks etc. Ears, eyes, and teeth will all be checked. Evaluating your pet allows me to better judge the type of shampoo to use, brushing methods, other services that may be beneficial to your pet, and it also helps me determine the temperament of the pet.
Policies:
Proof of up to date rabies vaccine must be furnished for all pets before they will be groomed.
A signed release form is required for senior pets and for pets who are severely matted. Sometimes groomings can uncover hidden medical problems or aggravate a current problem. Because the pet is much older, or very matted, they are at greater risk. The release form gives me permission to obtain veterinary treatment if necessary while the pet is in my care, at your cost.
If you can not make your pet's grooming appointment kindly give 24 hours notice.
There will be a $20 "no show" fee for missed appointments without calling.
If your pet defecates outside the store, please clean it up, bags are available inside the reception room.
Pets who are matted WILL be clipped short. It is extremely painful to the pet to brush out excessive knots.
There will be a $10 "day care" fee for any pet that is not picked up within 3 hours of completion of their grooming.
