Important Reminder Regarding Appointment Times 🐾

I would like to remind all clients of my appointment time policy and why it is so important for my business.

As many of you know, I am a home-based, one-to-one dog groomer. I schedule my day carefully so that each dog receives my full attention in a calm environment, without having to share the space with other dogs.

While I understand that delays can occasionally happen, I have recently been experiencing an increasing number of late drop-offs and late collections, and this is having a significant impact on my ability to run appointments smoothly.

Prompt collection is particularly important. I always provide plenty of notice when your dog is nearing completion or ready to go home. When dogs are not collected on time, it can result in overlap with my next appointment, meaning I am left trying to manage multiple dogs at once. This defeats the purpose of the one-to-one service that I pride myself on providing and can create difficulties for dogs who are not comfortable around others.

In some cases, late collections can also impact subsequent appointments and may even force me to rearrange or cancel bookings.

To ensure I can continue providing the best possible service:

🐾 Appointment times are booked for a specific time and I ask that all clients arrive promptly. A 15-minute grace period for drop off is in place for unexpected delays or genuine emergencies only and should not be treated as an extension of your appointment time.

🐾 If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, I will no longer be able to accept your dog for their appointment, and a 50% late cancellation fee will apply.

🐾 Please collect your dog by the given pick up time, appropriate notice will be given. By collecting your dog late you are subsequently taking time away from another client and their dog.

🐾 If you know your schedule will not allow you to drop off or collect your dog on time, please do not book that appointment slot. I will be happy to find a more suitable appointment time for you.

🐾 Continued late arrivals and/or late collections will not be tolerated and may result in future appointments being refused.

I work hard and long hours to accommodate all of my clients and appreciate your cooperation in helping me maintain the calm, safe, one-to-one grooming experience that every dog deserves.

Thank you for your cooperation and continued support. ❤️🐶

Looking like it’s going to be another hot week! ☀️

☀️🐾 Hot Weather Policy Reminder 🐾☀️

As we head into the warmer summer months, your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always come first here at the salon ❤️

When temperatures reach 25°C or above, appointments may need to be:
• moved to an earlier or later time of day
• rescheduled to a cooler day
• or adjusted where possible to reduce heat exposure

This is due to the increased risk of heat stroke, especially for:
🐶 Puppies
🐶 Geriatric/senior dogs
🐶 Dogs with particularly long or thick coats
🐶 Breeds or coats that require long drying times

The combination of warm weather and the heat from grooming dryers can become dangerous very quickly, as well as the risk of traveling your dog too and from the salon either on foot or in a car, and I would always rather rearrange an appointment than put any dog at risk.

Thank you for your understanding, patience, and support as I do everything I can to keep your pups safe and comfortable this summer ☀️💛

Please also remember:
💧 Keep fresh water available at all times
🚶 Avoid walks during the hottest parts of the day
🌳 Seek shade and cool areas whenever possible

Thank you,
Shauna 🐾

🚧 Roadworks Notice 🚧

Hi everyone! Just a quick update to let you know there are currently roadworks in the area, which may cause some delays with drop-offs and pick-ups.

Areas affected:
Coatdyke
Towhead Road
Drumpellier Lochs
Bargeddie

🐾 Drop-offs:
I allow a 15-minute grace period for late arrivals. Unfortunately, if you arrive later than this, the appointment will be classed as missed and a no-show fee will apply.

🐾 Pick-ups:
As I work on a 1-to-1 basis, it’s really important that dogs are collected on time. Late pick-ups can impact the rest of my schedule and other appointments.

I completely understand that the roadworks may cause inconvenience, so please allow extra travel time if you plan on travelling via any of these roads.

Thank you so much for your consideration and understanding 💛🐶
