Loyalty Card Program

It is essential to keep your card in a secure location, as you will need to present it each time you want to earn a paw print stamp. In the event that you misplace your loyalty card, you will lose all accumulated points associated with that card. However, the decision to transfer points from the lost card to a new one rests solely with the owner of Boops & Kisses Pet Care.

Boops & Kisses Pet Care reserves the right to end the loyalty card program at any time. That said, we will acknowledge the points you have already earned, even if you have not completed the necessary paw print stamp collection.

It is not possible to convert paw print stamps into cash, nor can they be exchanged for money off any other type of service.

When you have successfully collected the correct number of stamps and are ready to redeem your discount, please bring the completed card to us. We will dispose of it and issue you with a new card. If you decide not to continue with your loyalty card you may give your loyalty card to a friend or family member to use. Please kindly note that paw print stamps can be transferred to a friend or family member’s card, but you will forfeit all of your paw print stamps in doing so.

You can earn a paw print stamp by utilising a variety of services, such as dog grooming, dog walking, pet nail trimming, or our pet drop-in service. Should we introduce additional services in the future, those will also qualify for earning a paw print stamp.

You will be given 1 paw print stamp for a single groom; a single nail trim; each week that has a drop-in or drop-ins; or each week that has a walk or walks.

Please be advised that paw print stamps cannot be dated retroactively and you can only redeem one completed loyalty card at any one time. It is your responsibility to present your loyalty card at the time of service completion. The decision to back-date paw print stamps rests solely with the owner of Boops & Kisses Pet Care.

If you take advantage of an offer that is active while you are collecting a paw print stamp, you can choose to redeem either the offer or collect the stamp. Unfortunately, you cannot do both at the same time. The process will be the same as when redeeming a completed card – you can choose to collect another paw print stamp, or redeem the card.

Should you have more than one dog in your household, you will get a loyalty card for each dog. When bringing your dog in for their grooming appointment, please kindly bring the correct loyalty card for that dog being groomed. Failure to do so, may result in missing out on a stamp.

Boops & Kisses Pet Care retains the authority to modify the regulations concerning our loyalty card program. By utilising the loyalty cards, you consent to these terms and conditions associated with the loyalty card scheme.

Thank you for selecting our salon for your dog’s grooming services. We assure you that we will treat your dog with the utmost care and attention. Before we begin the grooming process that your pet deserves, we kindly request that you review and agree to a few simple guidelines. Please take a moment to read these terms and conditions, as they are essential for ensuring a stress-free environment and the safety of all pets in our salon.

You can cancel or move any appointments without charge, up to 48 hours prior to your booking. We cannot accept cancellations within 48 hours of pre-booked appointments, and you will be required to pay for them in full.

It is essential for your pet to maintain good health and fitness. Grooming sick or elderly dogs is solely the owner’s responsibility, as it may reveal hidden skin or health issues for which we cannot accept liability.

It is essential for your pet to have current vaccinations, as an unvaccinated pet poses a risk to itself and to others. We would like to have all dogs who enter our grooming salon to have all of their vaccinations, but understand that some still don’t. However, we do disinfect our grooming equipment after each use, it is your responsibility to make sure they have the correct vaccinations. When bringing your puppy to us, please make sure they are fully vaccinated and over 12 weeks old.

Ideally your first puppies groom is recommended before 16 weeks of age.

During the grooming process, we prioritise the health, safety, and well-being of your pet. Whilst we take every precaution, accidents can occasionally occur due to the fidgety nature of pets or pre-existing conditions such as warts, scabs, or skin tags. It is important to note that such incidents are very rare, but a minimal risk is inherent in grooming. By agreeing to our services, you acknowledge that while we exercise utmost care, accidents may happen at your own risk. In case of an accident or injury, we will administer first aid; however, if further treatment is necessary, we will contact you to take your pet to the veterinarian. If we are unable to reach you, we will take your pet to the nearest veterinary clinic. Please report any nicks or cuts to us within 24 hours. Please kindly note that we record all grooming sessions.

Extra charges: Payment is due upon the collection of your pet. Pet owners should be aware that certain pets may need additional extensive grooming services.

Grooming dogs through shaving will significantly alter their appearance, resulting in very short hair that is close to the skin, which may reveal any underlying conditions. We will need written consent to shave your pet’s fur down to the skin.

In the event that your dog displays any signs of aggression or violent behaviour, we will cease grooming immediately and notify you to come and retrieve your dog. It is important to understand that you may still be liable for the grooming fees, as well as any extra expenses that could occur, including potential medical treatment.

Pregnant dogs – Although we take great care with all dogs, pregnant females are groomed at the owner’s discretion.

Certain pets may need extended appointment durations due to anxiety or difficult behavior. We will inform the owner of any changes in fees prior to starting the grooming process.

Concerning Aggressive Pets. We will make every effort to accommodate an aggressive pet; however, in severe situations, we reserve the right to discontinue the grooming process if the pet poses a risk to itself or others due to its aggression.

Pet health is a priority. Please inform us of any health issues your pet may have, especially conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes, arthritis, heart problems, skin allergies, and any discomfort. During the health check prior to grooming, we will inspect your pet for any lumps or bumps. If we discover anything concerning, we will inform you when you come to collect your pet. Any identified lumps or bumps should be evaluated by a veterinarian. The well-being of every pet is important to us, and we reserve the right to decline or halt grooming if we believe the pet is unwell.

While we strive to meet the owner’s desired styling, it may not always be possible due to factors such as coat type, the pet’s behavior, or their tolerance levels. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

When dealing with a matted coat, trying to brush out severe tangles can cause significant discomfort and stress for your pet. Therefore, we recommend a close clipping to effectively remove the matted and damaged fur. Before we proceed with the grooming, we will discuss this with you. Please note that an additional fee will be charged in addition to the grooming cost.

Photos may be taken of your pet for us to use as before and after shots for our social media posts.

The groomer shall not be liable for any irritation, abrasions, patchiness, or coat loss resulting from pre-existing conditions or failure to disclose any health issues or behavioural concerns.

It is essential to comprehend and accept these terms and conditions prior to commencing grooming services.

Should we find evidence of fleas on your dog during our examination, and you were not aware of the issue, we will notify you through the contact method you have supplied. Please be advised that grooming cannot take place until the fleas are completely removed, unless you decide to incorporate flea treatment into your grooming package. If you prefer not to add this service, you will need to make arrangements to pick up your dog from our salon.

If you know that your dog has fleas, it is essential to administer your own flea treatment before the grooming session. We utilise a shampoo-based flea treatment, which is then complemented by a second shampoo designed to promote the health of your dog’s coat.

When we are grooming your dog, we will only do what your dog will allow. The more times you bring your dog to us, the quicker they will get used to us. We will not force them to have something done that they do not want.

We allow approximately 4 hours for an Advanced groom and 1.5 hours for a Standard groom. This includes any breaks we feel that your dog should have if they become restless. When we have reached the allotted time, we may stop the groom and book you in for another session.

Please refrain from bringing your dog into the salon if your dog is in season.
