Terms and Conditions
Health and Medical Conditions
Procedures within the grooming environment can be stressful for some dogs, especially for senior, young, overweight dogs or those with medical concerns. The process may expose unknown medical conditions or aggravate a current one during or after the groom. In the best interest of your pet this agreement will give Snips & Clips by Ellen permission to seek emergency veterinary treatment if we deem it necessary for whatever reason. We will do the best to contact you first, before taking your pet for treatment, however this may not always be feasible. Unless we are deemed to be negligent all medical expenses are the responsibility of the owner. By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions you are expressly agreeing to the following disclaimer:
Elderly, Infirm, Overweight or Young Dogs Disclaimer
A full groom can take in-excess of 3 hours and is physically demanding as well as stressful for some animals. Whilst Snips & Clips by Ellen make every effort to provide additional support to elderly/infirm/overweight and young dogs we cannot guarantee that your dog will be able to adequately support themselves for the duration of the groom which may result in serious health risks. There is also an increased risk of other injuries such as cuts and grazes. Snips & Clips by Ellen reserve the right to stop the grooming process at anytime with payment in full being due on collection of your dog.
Vaccinations
By using our services, owners confirm that their dog is up to date with their annual vaccinations against Canine Distemper, Infectious Canine Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, and Canine Parvovirus. An unvaccinated dog may put itself and others at risk. Snips & Clips by Ellen takes no responsibility for any dog that may contract any of the aforementioned diseases. Snips & Clips by Ellen may ask for proof of vaccination and veterinary information which must be provided.
Fleas & Ticks
Snips & Clips by Ellen is proud to be a tick/flea free environment. If your dog is known to have a parasitic infestation, we ask that your grooming appointment is rescheduled to a time when your pet is free from said infestation. 48 hours notice must be provided to avoid a cancellation charge. We recommend that you contact your veterinary surgeon to provide you with the best recommended treatment. If fleas are found on your dog, we will use a flea shampoo and be required to do additional disinfection of our premises and equipment. An additional £20 will be charged to your bill. If ticks are found an additional £5 will be charged to include removal. We will not be held responsible for any infection caused by the tick or removal thereof.
Coat Condition
Snips & Clips by Ellen practice humanity over vanity. If we are presented with a neglected coat and believe, in our professional opinion, it is kinder to remove the coat than it is to de-mat this will be done in accordance with The Animal Welfare Act 2006. Whilst we will make every effort to identify this as part of the pre-groom consultation and coat assessment there may be occasions where the degree of matting cannot be fully identified until we commence the groom. In this event we will make every effort to contact you however if this is not possible we will, in our professional opinion, do what we believe is in the best interest of the welfare of the dog. By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions you are expressly agreeing to the following De-Matting disclaimer:
De-Matting Disclaimer
Under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, it is an offence to cause unnecessary suffering to an animal: – this includes prolonged ‘de-matting’ which is painful and detrimental to the welfare of the dog. If you bring in your dog with more than 15 minutes of de-matting work, we are required by the Act to clip your dog short humanely or refer you to your vet to do the same. We will only attempt to de-matt 5% of a dog – which equates to about 50p sized mat behind each ear, same size in the armpits and perhaps one or two in the groin or tail area. Additional charges may be incurred due to wear on equipment, products used and time required.
Behavioural Charges
Owners have the obligation to inform Snips & Clips by Ellen of any known aggressive behaviour traits their pet may have. Behavioural charges will be decided depending on severity. If your dog should bite you agree to be responsible for all related medical or vet bills, loss of earnings and equipment damage.
Time Keeping
Snips & Clips by Ellen works to a strict time frame to ensure one-to-one care. If you are more than 15 minutes late we may refuse the groom on welfare grounds and a fee equal to the cost of the groom will be incurred.
Pricing, Deposits & Payments
All prices provided are an estimate only. Additional charges may be incurred. A 50% deposit is required at the time of booking and is non-refundable. Payment must be made before or immediately after the appointment and before your dog leaves the salon. Payment is accepted via cash or bank transfer only.
No Show Policy
48 hours notice is required to cancel or reschedule. No-shows will be charged the full amount.
Emergency situations may be considered at our discretion.
General & Hold Harmless Agreement
Snips & Clips by Ellen are unable to groom pregnant bitches and pups must be fully weaned. We will not provide services for dogs noted under the Dangerous Dogs Act. By using our services you agree to hold Snips & Clips by Ellen harmless from any damage, loss, or claim arising from any condition of the dog, either known or unknown. These terms may change at any time.
