❤ "How will I know when it's time?" ❤

The question every pet parent hopes they'll never have to ask.

The truth is, there isn't one single moment or one perfect answer. Quality of life is often a journey of changing good days, difficult days, and everything in between.

As you walk this path with your beloved companion, ask yourself:
🐾 Are there more good days than bad?
🐾 Are the good days becoming just good moments?
🐾 Is my pet comfortable, eating, breathing easily, and resting peacefully?

Sometimes the kindest decision is made before a crisis occurs—when we can still give our furbabies a peaceful, gentle goodbye surrounded by the people they love.

If you're unsure, you don't have to make this decision alone.

Our quality of life resources on our website offer guidance and questions to help you evaluate your furbaby's comfort.

You can always schedule a hospice consultation. Our hospice team is here to walk alongside you whether you need help managing your furbaby's comfort or someone to talk through your concerns with.

🐾💰 DISCOUNTS & PROGRAMS AT DOGGY STYLE! 💰🐾
Who doesn’t love saving a little money?! 😜❤️

I offer a few different ways for my clients to earn discounts, but each program works a little differently. Here’s the rundown so you know exactly what’s available and how to take advantage of them!

—————————

🐶 REFER A PUP PROGRAM:

Have a friend or family member who needs a great groomer? Send them my way! 🥰
For current clients:
When your referral completes their first grooming appointment with me, you’ll earn 5% off, up to $5, on your next grooming appointment.

For your referred friend:
They’ll receive 5% off, up to $5 on their first grooming appointment as a welcome gift! 🎉
If you have multiple dogs booked during the same appointment, the discount is one discount per household, with a maximum of $5.

And there’s no expiration on earned referral discounts — they can be applied to a future appointment until used. ❤️

—————————

🎂 BIRTHDAY BONUS:

Every pup deserves a little extra spoiling on their birthday! 🥳🐶🎂

Your pup receives 5% off, up to $5, on one grooming appointment during their birthday month.

The Birthday Bonus is redeemable once per dog during their birthday month.
And this is the ONLY discount that can be stacked!

So if you have multiple pups in the same household who share a birthday month, each dog can receive their own birthday discount during the same appointment. 🎉🎉

—————————

⭐ LOYAL PUP PROGRAM:

This one is for my clients who keep their pups on a regular grooming schedule! ❤️

You can qualify for the Loyal Pup discount by:

🐾 Setting up recurring or multiple future appointments

🐾 Rebooking the same day you pick up your pup

🐾 Keeping your appointments and arriving on time

When you remain on your recommended grooming schedule, you’ll receive 5% off, up to $5, per household on every qualifying appointment.

If you have multiple dogs booked during the same appointment, the discount is still one per household, with a maximum of $5.

However, there is an important part of this program:

If you miss, cancel, or reschedule an appointment for ANY reason — planned or unintentional — the Loyal Pup discount is lost.
You’ll return to regular pricing until your pup’s grooming schedule is back on track.
This program is designed to reward clients who consistently maintain the grooming schedule that works best for their individual pup. 🐶✂️

—————————

🔄 WHAT CAN ROLL OVER?:

The Refer A Pup Program and Loyal Pup Program are the only discounts with unlimited rollover.

Your earned referral discount can be used on a future appointment until it is redeemed, and the Loyal Pup Program continues as long as you continue meeting the program requirements.

Other discounts must be used during their specified time period and cannot be rolled over to a future appointment.

—————————

💕 CAN DISCOUNTS BE COMBINED?:

Generally, no.

The Birthday Bonus is the only discount that can be stacked, and only when multiple dogs in the same household share the same birthday month.

Each eligible dog can receive their own Birthday Bonus during that appointment.

—————————

❤️ ONE LAST THING…

I no longer offer ongoing discounted grooming rates as a general discount program. The only exception is pets receiving hospice care, who may continue receiving an ongoing discounted rate as a compassionate accommodation. ❤️🐾

I’m happy to offer these programs as a way of saying thank you for supporting my small business, referring your friends, celebrating your pups with me, and — most importantly — keeping them on the grooming schedule they need. 🥰

Every little bit helps, and I truly appreciate you choosing Doggy Style LLC! 🐶✂️❤️

🐾 WHY DO I HAVE ALL THESE POLICIES?

I think this part is important enough to explain.

My policies aren't designed to nickel-and-dime anyone, punish anyone, or make your life difficult.

They're there because your dog's appointment is a reserved block of my working day.

When I hold that time for your pup, I'm turning away other appointments for that same time.

If that appointment is canceled at the last minute, missed entirely, significantly changed, or affected by repeated lateness, that time may become time that I simply cannot recover.

I'm a one-on-one groomer.
I can't groom another dog at the same time.
I can't magically add another appointment later in the day to make up for several hours that were lost.

And my schedule isn't just a schedule — it's my livelihood.

At the same time, I know that genuine emergencies happen. I have dogs too. I understand that sometimes things happen that nobody planned for.

That's why I try to be reasonable when circumstances genuinely arise.
But I also have to protect my business and the dogs who are already scheduled.

🐶 THESE POLICIES HELP ME BE FAIR TO:

❤️ You and your pup — because I can continue giving your dog the time and attention they've been promised.

🐾 The other dogs on my schedule — because their appointments shouldn't be delayed by someone else's repeated lateness or last-minute changes.

✂️ My business — because reserved appointment time represents real working time that I can't recover once it's gone.
And ultimately, myself — because I deserve to have reasonable boundaries around my time and work too.

I will always do my best to communicate, work with genuine circumstances, and treat people fairly.

But repeated occurrences — whether they're last-minute or not — can eventually result in discontinuation of grooming services.

Please be respectful of the time that has been specifically reserved for your pup. ❤️

Thank you to the clients who communicate with me, respect my schedule, and help me make Doggy Style work the way it should.
I appreciate you. 🐶❤️✂️

⏰ YOUR DOG'S APPOINTMENT TIME MATTERS!

A quick reminder about drop-off, pick-up times, and choosing the correct grooming service when booking.

Every dog is given a specific amount of time on my schedule. Because I'm a one-on-one groomer, there isn't another groomer working alongside me to absorb delays.

🕐 DROP-OFF & PICK-UP:

Please do your best to arrive on time for both drop-off and pick-up.

Arriving late can take time away from the next dog's appointment, which isn't fair to them or their parent. Please take into consideration: traffic, drawbridges, schools now in session, AND PLEASE POTTY YOUR FURBABIES! arriving early ensures you have the opportunity to avoid the former while allowing your pup to do the latter.

Clients arriving more than 15 minutes late may forfeit their appointment, and that appointment may count as one of your two courtesy cancellations/no-shows.

I absolutely understand that emergencies happen, and I'll always try to work with you when I can. ❤️

However, repeated occurrences — whether they're last-minute or not — may eventually result in me no longer being able to accept future appointments.

✂️ PLEASE BOOK THE SERVICE YOU ACTUALLY NEED

The service you select when booking determines how much time I reserve for your dog.

For example, if you book a Full-Service Bath, I reserve enough time for a bath service.

If you arrive and decide you actually want a Full-Service Haircut, I may not have enough time available to accommodate that change. There could be another dog scheduled immediately afterward.

The same applies in reverse.

If you reserve a Full-Service Haircut and then decide at the last minute that you only want a bath, you've potentially left a large block of time open that I may not have enough notice to fill.

And because I'm a one-on-one groomer, I can't groom another dog at the same time to make up that lost time or income.

If you know ahead of time that you'd like to change your dog's service, please tell me as early as possible.

With enough notice, I may be able to adjust the schedule or fill the time that becomes available.

Repeated last-minute service changes that negatively affect my schedule may result in me no longer being able to groom that pup.
I'm not trying to be difficult — I'm trying to make sure every dog gets the amount of time I've promised them. 🐾

Thank you for helping me keep the schedule fair for everyone. ❤️

A VERY IMPORTANT REMINDER ABOUT CANCELLATIONS, NO-SHOWS & RESERVED TIME 🐶

I want to take a minute to clarify how my cancellation and appointment policies work.
Because Doggy Style is a one-on-one, by-appointment-only grooming business, I reserve a specific amount of time for each dog. Once that appointment is booked, that time is no longer available to another client.
I completely understand that life happens. Emergencies happen. Plans change. Dogs do things they aren't supposed to do. 😂

That's why everyone receives TWO courtesy last-minute cancellations/no-shows before my Good Faith Fee goes into effect.

⏰ What counts as a last-minute cancellation?

Any cancellation, no-show, or request to reschedule within 72 hours of your appointment is considered a short-notice cancellation.

Your first 2 occurrences are completely free as a courtesy.

After the second occurrence, every future short-notice cancellation, reschedule, or no-show will be subject to my Good Faith Fee.
The Good Faith Fee is equal to the full cost of the grooming service reserved PER DOG, excluding tax but including requested paid add-ons such as dye.

You will receive an automated text with a payment link for the missed reservation.
The fee must be settled in good faith before another appointment is made or continued.
If the fee isn't paid within a reasonable amount of time, future appointments may be canceled within 14 days, and you may no longer be eligible for future services.

For new clients, if both courtesy occurrences are used within your first two appointments, you will no longer be eligible to reschedule for any pup under your profile.

📱 PLEASE USE THOSE REMINDER TEXTS!
Everyone receives automated appointment reminders as a courtesy.

Your final reminder is sent 72 hours before your appointment and gives you the opportunity to confirm, cancel, or request a reschedule.

If I don't receive a response by 6:00 PM EST on the day of that final reminder, your appointment is considered confirmed.
So please don't ignore those reminders! They're there specifically to give you an opportunity to make changes before you're inside the 72-hour window.

This isn't about trying to make anyone's life difficult. It's about protecting the time I've specifically reserved for your pup.
Thank you for communicating with me and helping me keep Doggy Style running smoothly. ❤️🐾

🐶✂️ **A LITTLE CLARIFICATION ABOUT GROOMING GAPS & YOUR PUP’S GROOMING SCHEDULE** ✂️🐶

I want to take a minute to explain my **Extended Grooming Gap Fee**, because I’ve noticed that there can sometimes be a misunderstanding about what it means — and more importantly, what it does **NOT** mean.

The general recommendation for dogs who require haircuts is **every 6–8 weeks.** That doesn’t mean every single dog MUST come exactly every 6–8 weeks. Some coats, lifestyles, and individual dogs can comfortably go a little longer when they are being properly maintained at home.

However, **12 weeks should NOT be viewed as the “target” or standard grooming schedule simply because that is when the gap fee begins.**

Every dog is different.

Some dogs can go longer and still come in with a healthy, manageable coat. Others absolutely cannot. A dog who consistently arrives at 10–12 weeks **matted, heavily overgrown, excessively shedding, uncomfortable, or requiring a significant amount of dematting** may need to be groomed more frequently.

And this is especially important for dogs who are anxious or fearful of grooming.

If a dog struggles with the grooming process, regular appointments can give them more opportunities to become familiar with the routine, build trust, and gradually become more comfortable. There are certainly dogs who may always be nervous during grooming, and I understand that. ❤️ But allowing an already-anxious dog to go as long as possible between appointments can make the process even harder because they aren't getting those consistent opportunities to practice and become comfortable.

My goal is NOT to charge you more money. My goal is to keep your dog comfortable, their coat manageable, and the grooming process as safe and stress-free as possible — for your pup AND for me.

I also need to be honest about something from my side of the grooming table: **I cannot continue putting my hands through repeated, excessive dematting.** I have physical limitations with my hands, and prolonged dematting is hard on me. More importantly, extensive dematting isn't something I want a dog repeatedly experiencing either.

So if your dog consistently comes in matted because they are waiting until the absolute latest possible appointment interval, I may recommend that their grooming schedule be shortened. If that recommendation continues to be ignored, it may eventually mean that I’m no longer able to continue grooming that particular pup.

That isn't meant as a punishment. It's about finding a schedule that is actually appropriate for **that individual dog.** 🐾

# # # So, what IS the Extended Grooming Gap Fee?

My current policy is:

• **12–16 weeks:** $20 Extended Grooming Gap Fee when the dog is still in manageable condition.

• **16+ weeks:** $40–$50 Extended Grooming Gap Fee when the dog is severely overdue or requires significant additional work because of matting or poor coat condition.

• **Dematting fees are separate** and may still apply when additional time and work are required to safely remove mats.

There are also exceptions. If your pup can comfortably go a little longer and comes in **well-maintained, unmatted, and in good overall coat condition**, the gap fee may not apply.

# # # 🐶 What if you had your dog groomed somewhere else?

That's completely fine! ❤️ I will not be hurt you go somewhere else. This is about what is best for your dog AND you!

If your pup received a **FULL grooming service somewhere else during an extended gap**, please provide proof of that grooming when you return.

A receipt, completed appointment confirmation, or other documentation showing the full details of their grooming service is acceptable.

**A basic bath-only appointment does NOT count as a full grooming service.**

If your dog was only bathed, had nails done, or received another partial service, that does not reset their grooming history. I need to be able to verify that your pup actually received a FULL groom.

If there is no proof of a full grooming service during the gap, the Extended Grooming Gap Fee will apply according to the policy.

You can read the full policy, including the current fees and exceptions, here:

https://www.doggystylellc.org/fees/extended-grooming-gaps

I truly appreciate everyone who keeps their pups on a regular schedule and works with me when I recommend a different grooming interval. 🥰

**The goal isn't simply to avoid a fee. The goal is to keep your pup's coat healthy, their grooming experience as comfortable as possible, and their appointments manageable for everyone involved.** ❤️🐶✂️

📋🐶 **A QUICK VACCINE RECORD REMINDER!** 🐶📋

Do me a **HUGE favor** and take a minute to check your personal records to make sure your pup is current on all three of the vaccines required for grooming:

🐾 **Rabies**
🐾 **Distemper/Parvo**
🐾 **Bordatella**

If any of them are coming due or have already been renewed, please **snap a clear photo of the updated paperwork and send it to me in a message.** 🙏

Please don’t wait until the day before your appointment! Keeping those records updated ahead of time helps me keep your pup’s file current and prevents us from having to scramble at the last minute. ❤️

And remember, **you are responsible for keeping track of your pup’s vaccine expiration dates and getting updated records to me.**

Thank you for helping me keep everyone safe, healthy, and on schedule! 🥰🐶❤️
