Service Agreement
Every animal has a unique personality and disposition. Each individual animal also has unique needs. Because of this, every animal needs to be groomed differently. Grooming a pet is inherently risky due to the combination of sharp equipment needed to groom your pet and sudden, unexpected movement pets can make. Due to the unique nature of pet grooming, the client releases AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC, its agents, officers, sub-contractors, and employees from any and all liabilities, financial, and otherwise, for injuries or damage to the Client, the Client’s pet, or any other property of the Client, which arise in any way from services and/or products provided by or as a consequence of the Client’s association with AUQ-MIA PET SALON LLC

This treatment may occur at any veterinary clinic selected by AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC. The Client agrees to pay all costs associated with emergency medical treatment. The Client also agrees to allow AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC, to treat minor cuts, nicks, burns, or injuries at the time of the occurrence if those injuries are determined by the groomer not to require special vet care. The groomer is not a veterinarian. All advice given is a strictly personal opinion.
Matted Coat - Shave-down due over grooming session
The Client is aware that if the coat on their pet(s) is in a matted condition, the pet(s) may not be able to receive the style of cut the Client is requesting. If the matting is severe, brushing the coat out may be too stressful and painful for the pet. In this case, a shave-down may be required. The Client is aware that many skin conditions (including but not limited to bruising, lesions, open sores, maggot or other parasite infestations, scabbing, hair loss, fungal infections, hot spots, etc.) are the result of a matted coat, and it is impossible for any groomer to know what condition the skin may be in underneath a matted coat. If a condition is discovered during the grooming process, the groomer will make the Client aware of this condition at the conclusion of the service. The Client will not hold the groomer or AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC liable for any condition or injury related to a matted coat, or the removal of such. The Client understands a matted pet(s) is at greater risk of injury during the grooming process.
The Client agrees AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC is not responsible for skin changes or coat re-growth or changes after the grooming service. The groomer and AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC advises against shaving a double coat due to the risk of poor or no re-growth, as well as coat quality changes and other unknown issues.
The Client agrees the process of grooming may become stressful for their pet, both physically and mentally, especially in pets with known or unknown medical conditions. The stress of grooming may cause latent, unknown, active, or inactive conditions to become active or inflamed and can result in illness, seizures, or the death of their pet. Although AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC will take responsible care in the grooming of their pet(s); the Client acknowledges that the stress of grooming may initiate or exacerbate medical problems in their pet. The Client agrees not to hold the groomer or AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC responsible for any reactions their pet(s) may have to the grooming process. AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC is not responsible for any pre-existing medical conditions, known or unknown, or the aggravation of those conditions.
The Client agrees they are legally able to make decisions on behalf of the pet(s) being serviced by AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC.
The pet(s) must not have been exposed to distemper, rabies, or parvovirus within thirty (30) days preceding any services received, and each pet has been inoculated as required by California State Law. The Client agrees to present proof of vaccination upon request. This agreement applies to all current, past, and future services provided by AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC. This agreement applies to any and all pets associated with the undersigned Client. The Client agrees to bring any known new behavioral or medical conditions to the attention of AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC before the time of service.
Photography and Videos
Any photograph(s) or video(s) taken by or sent to AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC or their associates are considered to be the property of AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC and can be used and/or reproduced in marketing and other materials without any further consent or authorization and the Client will not be entitled to any compensation for their use.
Health, Medical Problems & Senior Pets
Grooming procedures can sometimes be stressful, especially for a senior or ill pet or pet, and can expose hidden medical problems or aggravate a current one during or after the groom. Because these pets have a greater chance of injury, these pets will be groomed for cleanliness and comfort. In the best interest of your pet, this contract/agreement will give AU-QMIA PET SALON LLC permission to obtain immediate veterinary treatment for your pet should it be deemed necessary. We will do our best to contact you first, then take your pet to your authorized Veterinarian. It is agreed that all expenses for Veterinary care will be covered by the pet’s owner upon signing this contract/agreement.
SENIORS – We will do our very best to complete your senior pet`s groom quickly. Sometimes senior dogs need breaks to keep them comfortable. This creates a longer total groom time. Also, grooming can be stressful for your pet at this age. AUQ-MIA is not responsible for the injury or sudden death of your pet. Also, realizing that aged pets have a greater chance of injury during grooming, I will not hold AU-Q-MIA responsible for accidents or injuries to my pet. The safety come first. Senior pet which takes medication is very sensitive. Such as fast heartbeat, heaving breath, peeing, popping and vomiting or other reason. If at any time during the grooming process the groomer determines for any reason the grooming process should be discontinued, the Client agrees to pay all charges."
CAT GROOMING
When cats are exposed to a new environment they can experience elevated stress levels. If your cat is too stressed to safely continue the groom, all activities will stop and you will be notified. Even not finish the full price will be applied. We suggest for some cat be put on cage or small space such as bathroom 15 minutes before schedule time. Occasionally, grooming can also expose or aggravate a hidden medical problem. Finally, shaving mats or normal grooming can be dangerous since cats have thin skin that may tear even with gentle handling. AU-Q-MIA is not responsible for the injury or sudden death of your pet. Also, realizing that cats have a greater chance of injury during grooming, I will not hold AU-QMIA responsible for accidents or injuries to my pet.
Mat Removal
Pets with matted coats need extra attention during their grooming session. Mats left in a pet's coat only grow tighter and can strangle the pet’s skin, or eventually tear it open. AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC does not wish to cause serious or undue stress to your pet, and will not continually de-mat your pet for you. Mats can be very difficult to remove and may require the pet to be shaved. When necessary, removing a heavily matted coat includes risks of nicks, cuts, or abrasions due to warts, moles or skin folds trapped in the mats. Heavy matting can also trap moisture and urine near the pet’s skin allowing mold, fungus, or bacteria to grow, causing skin irritations that existed prior to the grooming process. Torn skin from mats can also harbor maggots. After-effects of mat removal procedures can include itchiness, skin redness, self-inflicted irritations or abrasions, and failure of the hair to re-grow. Shaved pets are also prone to sunburn and should be kept out of the sun until the hair grows sufficiently to protect the skin. In some cases, pets may also exhibit brief behavioral changes. Prevention is the best defense against matting by scheduling regular grooming appointments. There is an extra charge for dematting. Undersigned Client agrees to any additional charges for dematting.
Puppy’s First Haircut
he first grooming experience for a puppy (or any age dog) requires patience and understanding. More time may be necessary to work with younger pets. Gradually adding steps to the grooming process on a regular basis will help to minimize any potential stress. Owners can help their pets accept grooming by regularly massaging pets’ paws as well as brushing & combing their coats.
Frequent handling of paws can help pets better accept nail clipping or trimming around the feet.
Accidents
There is always the possibility an accident could occur. Grooming equipment is sharp, even though we use extreme caution and care in all situations, possible problems could occur including cuts, nicks, scratches, quicking of nails, etc. In most cases, this can happen when a pet is wiggling or moving around. If you arrive to pick up your pet and they are still being groomed, please do NOT talk to them or allow him/her to see you. Every effort will be made to ensure your pet is groomed as safely as possible, but an excited pet can be dangerous to continue to work on. If you insist on talking to your pet, or the groomer, we reserve the right to end the grooming session, even if the groom is not completed, and the full grooming price will be charged.
Parasites
If you suspect your pet has fleas or ticks, prompt and thorough action on YOUR part will be needed. Flea infestations can lead to tapeworm and other health problems. We do offer effective products and can apply treatment if requested. If fleas or ticks are found during the grooming process, your pet will receive a flea bath to kill the parasites, and an extra charge will be applied. Ticks found will be removed, and an additional charge may be applied. If ticks are found, we strongly suggest you have your pet tested for Lyme Disease or other tick-borne illnesses. Please note that parasites are a health hazard to your pet as well as to humans.
Aggressive or Dangerous Pets
Owners MUST inform AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC. if your pet(s) bite, has bitten, or is aggressive to people, other pets, or specific grooming procedures. Muzzles may be used if necessary. Muzzling will not harm your pet and protects both the pet and the groomer. AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC. reserves the right to refuse/stop services for such pet(s) at any time before or during the grooming process and charge a handling fee for Aggressive Dogs in addition to the regular grooming charge. If the pet should bite, the owner agrees to be responsible for any and all related medical bills, recovery costs, loss of income, and equipment damage.
"The Client understands that if their pet has a history of, or repeatedly demonstrates aggression or biting of humans or other animals, they are required to notify AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC before services are rendered. To ensure the safety of the groomer and prevent a pet from injuring themselves, a muzzle may be used if deemed necessary by the groomer. If a pet injures the groomer with a vicious or aggressive bite or attack, the Client agrees to take full responsibility and will be held liable for the expenses related to the treatment of the groomer’s injuries. The Client also understands that all bites will be reported to the local authorities, such as required by law. If at any time during the grooming process the groomer determines for any reason the grooming process should be discontinued, the Client agrees to pay all charges."
Hold Harmless Agreement
By signing this contract you (or your Agent) agree to hold AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC., it’s owners, operators, employees, officers, and directors harmless from any damage, loss, or claim arising from any condition of the undersigned pet, either known or unknown to AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC. It is also further understood and agreed the terms of this agreement can change at any time, without notice, and will overwrite any and all prior signed contracts or releases.
Late or No Pick-Ups
Please be on time to pick up your pet(s). We work by appointment and do not have the staff or facilities for your pet to stay after the groom has been completed. To enforce this policy, a $50 daily kennel fee may be added to your invoice.

For subscription cancellations, the applicable cancellation fees are agreed to be 100% of the unused portion of the subscription as long as no appointments have been made. If an appointment is made and not canceled in time the cancellation fee above applies for that one appointment.
Being also mobile service, AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC is limited in their ability to fill a canceled appointment with short notice. Therefore, the Client agrees to pay a $50 cancellation fee per pet if the cancellation is within 48 hours of the scheduled appointment and AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC is unable to fill the appointment time slot. If the appointment is not canceled and AU-Q-MIA PET SALON LLC arrives at the location (and previous arrangements have not been made), or client does agreed with service suggested the client will be charged $100 if any service was made or 100% of any fees for services scheduled as the “no-show” fee per pet or cancelation at the curbside. That charge is to cover the amount scheduled and drive and Dog Groomer hours paid. All appointments made and canceled at curbside there is a minimum $100 charge.
