Health and Behavior of Pet:
I agree and understand that Bubbles & Bows Salon has relied upon my representation that my pet is in good health, has not injured or shown threatening behavior to any persons or animals, is current on all required vaccinations and is free of parasites.
–
Aggressive Pets/Parasites:
Bubbles & Bows Salon reserves the right to refuse service, or to stop a groom in progress, if your pet may pose a threat to themselves, other pets or staff, whether it be an aggression problem, health problem, or parasite problem.
–
Owner Responsibility:
The owner agrees to be solely responsible and liable for any and all acts of behavior of their pet. This may include, but is not limited to, injury or death to pet, injury or death to another pet(s), or injury or death to a staff member or any other member of the public. Medical treatment expenses required by a staff member, a member of the public or for another pet will be the sole responsibility of the pet owner.
–
Matted Hair on Pets:
Owner is aware that if the hair on pet is in a matted condition, pet may not be able to receive the style of cut requested. If the matting is severe, brushing out may be too stressful and painful for the pet. In this case Bubbles & Bows Salon may not be able to continue the groom. A shave down or a much shorter cut may be a possible option. We will contact you if this is the only option. Extra care will be taken in the shave-down process; however, cuts or nicks could occur depending on the severity of the matting. If a cut or nick happens the owner will not hold Bubbles & Bows Salon responsible.

Grooming Enclosures:
I agree and understand that my pet (s) may be placed in grooming enclosures before, during or after grooming.

Risks to Pet:
• General grooming risks- Extra care will be taken when performing any grooming procedures, however, owner must understand possible reactions such as stress, skin irritation, possible nicks to the skin, or a toe nail quicked may occur. Additionally, problems occasionally arise after the grooming visit such as bleeding of nicks, clipper irritation, mental or physical stress. Grooming can also expose a hidden medical problem or aggravate a current one. Owner agrees not to hold Bubbles & Bows Salon responsible for any injuries, which might result from this grooming process.
• Aging and Special Needs Pets: Owner is aware that as a pet ages or if the pet has special medical conditions, the process of grooming may become stressful, both physically and mentally. The stress of grooming may cause latent, unknown, active or inactive conditions such as arthritis, bone, joint or surgical sites to become active or inflamed, and unknown active or inactive heart, kidney, or liver disorders to become active and can result in illness, seizures, or the death of the pet. Although Bubbles & Bows Salon will take responsible care in the grooming of the pet, owner acknowledges that the stress of grooming may initiate immediate or latent medical problems in your pet. Owner agrees not to hold Bubbles & Bows Salon responsible for reactions to grooming.
• Moles/Skin Lesions/Tumors/Other Skin Irregularities: Because these skin irregularities may protrude from the skin, they are vulnerable to nicks or cuts during the grooming process; owner agrees not to hold Bubbles & Bows Salon responsible for any cuts or nicks and skin reactions/irritations due to grooming process.

Double-coat Shave-down Acknowledgement & Agreement (If applicable):
• I understand and agree that I am leaving my double-coated pet with Bubbles & Bows Salon to be shaved. I have also been informed of the following:
• We cannot guarantee that the pet’s coat will grow back after shaving
• Depending on how close the coat is clipped, your pet might require sunscreen to protect the pet’s skin from being burned.
• Shaving may cause irritation and/or rash.
• Shaving the coat does not necessarily make the pet feel cooler, as the double coat acts as insulation in warm and cool weather.
• Shaving does not reduce shedding; it only makes the shedding coat shorter.
• Clipping down a double-coated pet can look uneven or choppy depending on your pet’s coat type and the length requested. Our groomers will do their best to make the haircut look the best possible.
