I hereby execute the Agreement for my dog, myself and my heirs, successors, representative and assigns. I further attest that if I am not the sole owner or representative of the dog subject to this application that my signature is sufficient to enter into this Agreement for and on behalf of any other owner or representative.

WARNING, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES A RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND WAIVER OF LEGAL RIGHTS AND DEPRIVES YOU OF THE RIGHT TO SUE DEE-ANN ALLEN OR PAWFECT PAWS. DO NOT SIGN THIS AGREEMENT UNLESS YOU HAVE READ IT IN ITS ENTIRETY. SEEK THE ADVICE OF LEGAL COUNSEL IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF ITS EFFECT.

In consideration for my Dog being permitted to be a client at Pawfect Paws I make the following representations and Agree to all of the following policies, procedures, terms and conditions:  

1.CONSENT. I entrust my pet to Pawfect Paws for the purpose of grooming my dog. I understand and am aware that all due care will be taken with my dog for the safety of the dog and the groomer. I am aware that neglect of my dog’s coat can be a cause for problems after grooming such as clipper/brush irritation. If my dog is wiggly or does not remain still during grooming, accidents can happen such as nicks/scrapes from clippers or scissors. 

2.MATTED COAT. I am aware that if my dog’s coat is matted, I have the following three (3) options:  

a.I can brush the coat out and return at a later time for grooming. 

b.Pawfect Paws will de-­‐mat my dog, which will incur additional charge, as currently advertised, to the regular grooming fee if it does not overly stress dog out. I understand that time and costs associated with de-­‐matting are unpredictable and subject to the particular condition of the Dog.

c.Request a shave down and start over. Additional fees may apply.  

3.PERSONAL PROPERTY. I agree that Pawfect Paws shall not be responsible or liable for any lost, stolen, or damaged personal property belonging either to my Dog or me. I also understand and agree that my Dog’s collar may be removed in the grooming area to prevent injury to any Dog.  

4.RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE. Pawfect Paws has the right to refuse service for any reason it deems. In the event of a Dog that cannot be groomed safely without danger to the groomer/employees/ or others, Pawfect Paws will use muzzles, collars, slings, straps, etc. Grooming services may be stopped mid-­‐groom if necessary for the safety of the Dog or groomer. Grooming fees may still be applied 

5.ABANDONED DOGS. Pawfect Paws is a place where all Dogs can be groomed. No Dog may be abandoned at Pawfect Paws. I agree that I will not neglect to pick up my Dog from being groomed by the time he/she is scheduled to leave without providing notification. Any Dog that is left at Pawfect Paws without any contact, instruction or notification time from me, of the ability, willingness or plans to pick him/her up by myself or my personal representative or agent, will be considered abandoned upon the close of business on the day of grooming of such notification failure. I understand that if I abandon my Dog at Pawfect Paws , Pawfect Paws will contact the relevant authority and arrange for the dog to be collected. It will then be the responsibility of the owner to retrieve the dog and pay any fees occurred.
