By requesting a booking you are deemed to agree to the following terms and conditions :-

Grooming may expose underlying skin or health problems that Allbreed Grooming Academy Limited cannot be held liable for.
3. If we feel that de-matting your dog would cause too much stress and discomfort we may recommend a complete clip down. This will dramatically change your dog’s appearance as their hair will be short and close to the skin.
A complete clip down may expose pre-existing skin conditions such as hotspots, sores, parasite infestation, urine and faeces scalding, fungal,
bacterial and yeast infections.
- The client should also be aware that skin irritation and nicks might occur from the shaving process. Allbreed Grooming Academy Limited will not be held liable for any problems caused from a complete clip off regardless of if requested by the customer or due to a matted or neglected coat.

dermatitis.
