🐾 A little reminder about appointment times 🐾
Please arrive at your exact appointment time – not early.
I’ve had a few clients arriving 10–15 minutes early and opening the gate, while I’m still working on the previous dog. At that point I may still have scissors or clippers in hand, and an unexpected gate opening can startle the dog I’m grooming, which is dangerous.
For safety reasons, my insurance and planning permission also requires one dog in and one dog out at a time to keep noise down which is part of my permission. If two dogs meet at the gate and something were to happen, it could create a difficult situation.
If you do arrive early, please just wait in your car until your appointment or walk your dog around the block
It’s not me being awkward – it’s simply about keeping every dog safe and calm during their groom. Thank you so much for understanding and helping me keep things running smoothly. 🐶✨
