A few important notes which help UltiMutt Grooming run smoothly.
Please give at least 24 hours notice if you can not attend your appointment. Failure to do so will result in a fee, which is charged at a rate of 50% of the grooming appointment missed/cancelled late. This is payable before any other appointments are made for you.
Please arrive on time for your appointment. I work to a tight schedule, therefore if you are more than 15 minutes late I may not have time to groom your dog(s). A 50% missed appointment charge will then apply per dog.
Please also arrive on time to collect your dog(s). I work on a one to one basis and have no cages in my salon, which keeps it a stress free experience, therefore, in the best interest of your dog(s), appointments must not overlap. A £5 charge will incur, per every half an hour, after the arranged time of collection.
Please try to keep your pet up to date with their flea treatment. If your dog has fleas I will have to use a flea shampoo on your dog and also spray the salon to avoid them crossing to other clients dogs, therefore an extra £5 charge will apply to cover these costs.
My diary fills up very quickly at peak times, so if you are booking appointments via text or email, please respond as quickly as possible to avoid disappointment. Appointments can not be held for several hours and are given on a first come, first serve basis.
Thats all for the serious bits, I know unforeseen circumstances can arise, so hopefully I won't have to apply any extra charges but please try and comply with the above. Thank you.
