πΆπFirstly I would like to say thank you to all my customers for your continued support. πΆπ
You should all have part of next years groom dates now and notice of a small price rise by text.
There is a lot of work behind the scenes besides grooming the dogs, which involves a lot of unpaid time spent organising months of individual groom slots with specific days/times and then rearranging peopleβs changing groom slots. I know for most of you, you prefer knowing in advance your slots for work etc, so you do have the dates well in advance. However recently a few days before each groom Iβm having a lot of people saying sorry they are away or dog hasnβt grown much. All are valid and can come up, but Iβm only finding out when I send reminders for the week ahead. This then leaves me with slot gaps I canβt fill and short of my own earnings. If a trip comes up or you think dog hasnβt grown much please contact me first, hopefully with enough notice. I am going to unfortunately implement a charge now on an individual dog basis, that if a full groom has been missed and itβs more than 2 weeks over schedule there will be an extra charge. This is because there is clearly more hair to deal with, possibly more knots and the extra time it may take. Hope you understand.
I am such a small business and donβt do as many dogs a day as some groomers, so if I lose too many in the week ahead it can financially impact me.
Thank you for your understanding, and once again your support! πΆπ
