Pet Grooming and Spa
PetPipers provides professional grooming service at your door step in the convenience of your home. The Pets are bathed, dried and groomed i.e. hair cut or style, matting, nail trim, ear cleaning, as per your request.
Payment is due on completion. Estimates are based on the nature of the pet, its age, breed, but some pets may require extra work which will incur extra charges.
Please stick to the appointment time specified upon booking, and confirmed in your pre-appointment email/ call. We operate on a one -to-one basis which is a premium grooming service that ensures that your pet is given 100% of his or her groomer’s attention throughout the appointment period. This system can only work if the pets are ready and available at the confirmed time, when the groomers arrive for the treatment.
You will also be expected to provide a clean space with hot and cold water outlets to enable the groomers to carry out the grooming as per your request. Our groomers after completing the grooming will ensure that the space so provided has been cleaned and sanitized so that there is no infestation
You must inform us of any underlying health issues or allergies as we can not be held responsible if a condition flares up due to the pet being groomed. However we will try our best to avoid this if you inform us prior to grooming.
Flea Policy – your Groomer will check for fleas before the grooming. If your dog has fleas the groomer will treat the problem at extra cost
You must inform us if your pet is nervous or aggressive in any way before grooming. There is an extra charge for aggressive pets as they will require muzzling. We reserve the right to turn away any pet which may prove a danger to both them and us.
We endeavour to groom each dog to the owner’s specifications, as far as the dog will tolerate and the coat condition and type allows. We will always place a dog’s welfare, safety and peace of mind above adherence to a particular style. In case of being unable for any reason to groom to the exact style wished by the owner, we will endeavour to contact the owner and agree upon a suitable alternative style.
We will groom your pet to your specifications you are hence requested to send written instructions, if required. This eliminates any confusion which can occur when receiving verbal instructions. If you book your appointments online, you can leave your instructions in the appointment booking in as much detail as you wish. We always read through a clients appointment notes prior to the groom.
If, after the groom is complete, there is anything about the groom that you would like altered, please advise your groomer accordingly before the groomer leaves the house. We are never offended by timely requests to make minor changes, so please ask.
No direct contact will be made to the groomers and any services to be obtained from the groomers will only be obtained through Pet Pipers.
During the treatment the owner must not be present while the groomers are at work as the pets generally tend to excite in their behaviour in the presence of their owner.
Once your booking is received we will confirm with you either via email or text message your exact start date/schedule, as may be applicable, which will then be fixed.
Failure to Inform of any cancellation/ change of time up without prior notification results in a small charge of Rs. 100 per dog to cover staff costs.
Requests to re schedule must be made in writing by post or email or by making a call to the customer service, details of which have been provided below. However, transfers are subject to availability and Pet Pipers is not obliged to ensure suitable alternatives are available.
If a booking is cancelled due to the weather or for any cause beyond the control of the client we will then take appropriate steps for rescheduling all the bookings to an alternative week or course date.
