Important Information Regarding Appointments
I strongly recommend clients to be on a regular schedule. Dogs are scheduled and grouped together by location and neighborhood. Due to the nature of grooming, with some dogs taking more time then others and issues with travel time, I will give appointments with a one hour arrival window.
​
This is best for the pet as we never want to rush or be in a hurry to get to the next appointment. I will text on the day of the appointment with an ETA when I am headed to you.
Terms and Conditions
Zen Dog Mobile Spa appointments will be given with an approximate time frame of when I will arrive, but could be up to an hour earlier or an hour later, if it changes more than that I will notify you. I do my best to be as timely as possible, but there are many factors and circumstances that can arise that are outside of my control, such as the weather, traffic, and the condition of each pet may set me ahead or behind. I will never rush with a client or risk their safety to be on time to the next appointment, it is more important to take my time and make it a zen and calm experience for your pet.
​
After the initial groom, dogs are required to be on either a 4/6/8 week schedule to keep their coat in good condition.
​
It is important that either ahead of the first groom, or at our first grooming appointment, you make me aware of any allergies, sensitivities, pre-existing medical conditions, or fears. It is helpful too if you let me know of any prior grooming experience your pet or you have had that you found unsatisfactory so I can avoid repeating these bad experiences.
If a dog is matted it will have to be cut short. De-matting is painful and causes extreme discomfort to the dog and can aggravate (or cause) skin problems. Shaving a matted dog does come with risks, but is the kindest way to deal with the hairy situation. If a dog is heavily matted, there is a higher chance of nicks, cuts or abrasions due to warts, moles, or skin folds trapped in the mats, after effects can include itchiness, redness, and irritation. Requiring dogs to be on a regular schedule of either 2/4/8 weeks, will keep your dog in continuous good shape so that matts are not something that should be an issue. I will be happy to recommend a brush and show some brushing techniques so you can keep your dog up in between grooms if you chose.
​
Zen Dog Mobile Spa stands behind the services performed 100%. If for any reason you are not satisfied with the service you have received please reach out and notify me within 24 hours of your appointment. I do not offer refunds, but if there is anything I can do to resolve your concern or issue I will.
Please make sure to tell me about all your dogs health problems, skin issues, behavioral problems, past grooming experiences etc, communication is key for me to be prepared and make a plan for working together with your pet for a better grooming experience.
