Agreement

Dog Grooming Agreement Form

This agreement is between [Company Name] and the pet owner identified below for the provision of professional dog grooming services. By signing this document, both parties agree to be bound by the terms and conditions outlined herein.

Our groomers will provide the specific bathing, clipping, and styling services selected for your dog, utilizing industry-standard tools and techniques. You agree to pay all service fees as quoted at the time of booking or upon completion of the appointment. While we strive for perfection, the final look depends on the dog's temperament and coat condition; we reserve the right to stop grooming if the animal becomes overly stressed or aggressive. Either party may cancel a scheduled appointment provided that notice is given within the timeframe specified in our booking policy.
