Appointment Policies
​
Arrivals
We book our grooming appointments on a 1-2-1 basis, so that we can make the experience as stress-free as possible for your dog. To keep the grooming environment calm, please do NOT approach the property until your appointed time, as the dog on the grooming table can see you through the window. If they are busy watching you, especially if they believe you to be their parent, they may be moving more than usual and, if the groomer hasn't seen you, you are putting them at risk of possible injury. If you are early, please park away from the property and wait for your appointed time.
Lateness
Please be advised that we can only hold your appointment for 15mins. If you are more than 15mins late, we may not have time to groom your dog before the next client arrives, and you may still be charged a fee. If you know that you are likely to be late, please call us on 07826 708 904 as soon as possible, bearing in mind that we may need to reschedule.
​
As previously stated, Auntie Kirsty's Canine Care book grooms on a 1-2-1 basis. If you are late to collect your dog, you are obstructing the next client's appointment. You will receive a message 15mins ahead of your dog's collection time. If you are late to collect your dog, you will be charged a late fee of £10 per 15mins on top of your groom price. If you are over an hour late, the fee will be increased to £20 per 15mins on top of your groom price.
​
Cancellations
Should you need to cancel your appointment, please let us know with at least 48hrs notice, so that we can fill the appointment from our waiting list.
​
Fees
Repeat cancellations, late arrivals and/or no-shows will be charged at the following rates, and must be paid in full before making any further bookings:
1st incidence .......... We understand that life happens, so "Let us know, and we'll let it go!" If you have not contacted us within 15 minutes of your appointment start time, you will be required to pay 50% of the cost of the missed groom
2nd incidence .......... 50% of the cost of the missed groom
3rd incidence .......... 100% of the cost of the missed groom, and 50% of the cost of the next groom. This 50% will be treated as a non-refundable and non-transferable booking fee.
Any and all further incidences .......... payment of the balance of the missed groom, and the full cost of the next groom to be paid upon booking for all future grooms. This pre-payment will be treated as a non-refundable and non-transferable booking fee. You may also be denied future services.

​
​
Matting
We will NOT spend more than 5 minutes on dematting as it is painful and stressful for your dog. If the matting cannot be removed in the initial 5 minutes, we will have no choice other than to shave your dog. If the matting is too close to the skin to safely shave (felted), we will refer you to your vet and you will still be charged the full cost of the time booked. If you have any questions about the best way to brush your dog at home, please just ask and we will be happy to discuss and/or demonstrate our technique and tools. Humanity before vanity - always.
​
Payment
Payment is due upon collection of your dog. We accept cash, card/contactless, Paypal, and BACS. Please send monies to:
