APPOINTMENT TIMES

Appointment times are issued with the caveat that these times are approximate or “estimated times of arrival”.  We ask all our clients to allow us a one-hour window arrival time. We work with live animals and drive times causing it to be difficult to schedule an exact time. As a mobile service, our schedule is subject to interruptions or delays such as refueling, traffic, and driving distance or unexpected delays from previous appointments.  We make every effort to stay in communication with our clients about our ETA’s.

 

SEVERELY MATTED/NEGLECTED COAT DISCLOSURE

Excessive de-matting is a painful, time consuming and costly procedure that causes extreme discomfort and can aggravate and/or cause skin issues. Pets that are severely matted to the point of pain will NOT be subjected to more pain.  We at Curbside Magic Mobile Pet Spaw, LLC are unwilling to add more discomfort to your pet by attempting to comb or brush deeply matted fur. Removing matting comes with many risks to your pet which include but are not limited to: hematomas forming at the ears, exposing pre-existing conditions, skin irritation and leaves the skin prone to sunburn. All pets with severe matting will receive a recommendation to be clipped down to allow the fur/coat a fresh, new start. Pet parents will be notified of this decision prior to any shaving to allow for an opportunity to accept or decline services.  Client is responsible for the condition of the pet’s coat and will not hold Curbside Magic Mobile Pet Spaw, LLC responsible in the event of adverse effects of mat removal.

 

DOUBLE COATED BREEDS

At Curbside Magic Mobile Pet Spaw, LLC we absolutely DO NOT shave down double coated dogs.  Examples of breeds with double coats include: Husky, German Shepherd Dog, Pomeranian, Shiba-Inu, Boarder Collie, Corgi, Labrador, Golden Retriever.  Shaving down a double coat is a bad practice as it harms the coat at the follicle, often permanently damaging the coat. We do not engage in such practices.  Double coated dogs are given a tidy trim to feet, feathers and ears only.

 

CURRENT VACCINATIONS

Your pet’s safety is first at Curbside Magic Mobile Pet Spaw, LLC.  We require all clients to provide a current rabies certification for your pet before grooming services will be performed.  These certifications can be emailed to: curbsidemagicmobile@gmail.com

 

SAFETY/ANIMAL BEHAVIOR

Prior to grooming, clients are required to disclose any aggressive tendencies or bite history of their pet.  This does not disqualify your pet for services.  At Curbside Magic Mobile Pet Spaw, LLC, we pride ourselves on the personal value that we will do our best to safely, adequately groom your pet, even if they display some unwanted behavior. We are willing to work with your pet to address and correct unwanted grooming behavior.  However, Curbside Magic Mobile Pet Spaw, LLC reserves the right to refuse service in the event the pet cannot be handled safely.  If your pet is determined overly aggressive or is unable to be soothed/comforted during their groom, Curbside Magic Mobile Pet Spaw, LLC will not be able to maintain your pet as a client.

 

SENIOR PETS AND PETS WITH HEALTH ISSUES

We ask all clients disclose any issues with their senior or ill pets. Grooming procedures can sometimes be stressful, especially for a senior pet or pets with severe health issues.  Because these pets have a greater chance for injury, these pets will be groomed for cleanliness and comfort, as extra services may add to the stress or cause injury.  If your pet is unable to stand and weighs over 45 lbs, Curbside Magic Mobile Pet Spaw, LLC will have to decline to serve your pet as we are unable accommodate any pets exceeding the weight limit.  Pets that are unable to stand may be better served in a veterinary clinic.  Curbside Magic Mobile Pet Spaw, LLC is not responsible for accidents, injury or possible death to any elderly or high risk/health compromised pet during their groom. 

 

FLEA/TICK/LICE/SKUNK/SALON SANITATION

Flea and tick infestations will not be tolerated.  Clients are responsible for keeping their pet’s flea, tick, lice and skunk free.  Curbside Magic Mobile Pet Spaw, LLC does not treat for fleas, ticks, or lice. The Spaw does not carry products to remove skunk or excessive odor.  If fleas or lice are found or an indication of skunk spray detected, the client will be notified, the pet returned immediately, and a $75 bug or odor cleaning/bombing fee PER SCHEDULED PET will be assessed at the client’s expense, payable before the pet is released to the owner. Parasite infestations are best addressed by your veterinarian as there can be side effects or allergic reactions to dips and baths. If ticks are found, tick removal fees are charged in addition to the regular price of the groom.  Tick removal is calculated at a rate of $80/hour. Any unpaid fees will result in cancellation of all future appointments.
