Paws Up Grooming Release
This Release applies to all grooming appointments at Paws Up Grooming from the date at the bottom of this release.
I _____________________________, hereby waive and release Paws Up, its employees, owners and agents from all liability for injury or damage which I or my dog may suffer as a result of the pet grooming process.
I have disclosed any and all known dangers associated with my pet, including behavioral issues that may impact the safety of the grooming staff as well as the safety of my pet at Paws Up.
For Emergencies: I hereby grant permission to Paws Up Grooming to obtain emergency veterinary treatment for my pet, at my expense. For my pet’s benefit, Paws Up Grooming will use the services of the nearest veterinarian.
Medical Problems: I understand pet grooming can expose a hidden medical problem or aggravate a current one. This can occur during or after grooming. Senior Pet Grooming: I understand senior pets have an increased risk of injury and/or stress while grooming.
Tranquilization: Paws Up Grooming will not tranquilize a pet for grooming nor will we accept a pet who exhibits signs of having been tranquilized.
Vaccinations: I warrant that my dog is current with the vaccinations required by law, and that my dog is healthy to the best of my knowledge. All pets are required to show proof of current rabies vaccination prior to grooming.
Fleas & Ticks: If we find your pet is found to be infested with fleas or ticks, Paws Up Grooming will treat your pet as we deem necessary. Paws Up Grooming will not be held responsible for any side effects which may occur. I also understand that any such treatments are not guaranteed 100% effective. I certify that my unspayed female brought for grooming is at least two weeks out of her most recent heat.
Dematting: Paws Up Grooming will exercise all necessary precautions during the grooming process, but I am aware that if my pet is matted, it may be necessary to shave or dematt my pet, and that these procedures may have unpleasant consequences such as clipper burn, brush burn, or nicks and cuts. Paws Up Grooming will use all precautions during these procedures but will not be held responsible for the aforementioned side effects. (See Paws Up Grooming Shave Down Contract.)
Additional Information: We reserve the right to charge additional fees for services we consider over and above the norm covered by our standard rates, HOWEVER we will inform the pet owner prior to providing these services. We also reserve the right to refuse service to customers whose pet may pose a threat to us or to the other pets left in our care, whether it be an aggression problem, health problem, or parasite problems.
I agree that any dispute arising under this contract or any interpretation required of or the enforcement of rights and duties under this contract shall be subject to final and binding arbitration pursuant to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The award of the arbitrator (s) shall be enforceable according to the applicable provisions of the Alabama code of Civil Procedure.
