🐾 Top Tip Tuesday: Collection Time Matters More Than You Think
We know life gets hectic — traffic, kids’ clubs, work overruns… it happens to everyone.
But lately we’ve had more and more pups being collected late, so we wanted to gently explain why collection times are so important in a cage-free salon like ours.
At Pawsitively Purrfect, we don’t use crates.
Your dogs get to relax, roam, and potter around in safe, supervised spaces while they wait for you. It keeps them calm and happy — and it’s something we’re really proud of.
However, when too many dogs are in the salon at once, it can quickly become overwhelming for them… and less safe.
Here’s what happens when pickups run late:
• The salon becomes busier than planned, which can stress nervous pups
• It slows down the next appointments
• Dogs waiting to go home can become unsettled in a crowded space
With the busy season coming up, sticking to collection times helps us keep the salon calm, safe, and relaxed for every dog.
If you do need a bit more time, please just let us know at drop-off.
A quick heads-up means we can plan the day safely and make sure every pup is comfortable.
And if you’re ever running late unexpectedly, a wee message or call is always appreciated. 💛🐾
Thanks so much for your understanding — it really does make a huge difference.
