		Adult Dog Grooms:  Pricing based on breed

All adult grooms are priced based on breed.  Prices given based on the assumption that the pet’s coat and skin are in good condition.  Additional charges may be added if your dog needs extra care and attention.  These charges, however, will not be automatically applied without owner consent.  Sara will contact the owner to ok any additional charges, if they apply, before beginning the groom.

Vaccination policy
As a safety precaution to the other animals of the hospital, pets entering the hospital for grooming must be current on the following vaccines:

		Dogs:  Rabies, Distemper, Parvovirus, Bordatella (Kennel cough), Leptospirosis
		Cats:  Rabies, Distemper

In addition, all animals will need to have had a fecal sample and physical exam conducted within the last year.  If the pet is new to the practice, we will also need to conduct a physical examination.  We do require proof of all vaccinations and exams.  If you are an existing client and we have seen the pet before, we will be able to verify the vaccinations and exams through our own records.  If this is not the case, we will need to have a copy of the records from the veterinarian who conducted the exams and administered the vaccines.
