Running a mobile grooming business means every appointment is carefully planned — from the route, to the timing, to the products and tools needed for each dog. When something changes last‑minute, it can affect the entire day’s schedule, the safety of the groom, and the comfort of your pup.

That’s why it’s so important to update me with any changes at least 48 hours before your appointment.

🗓️ What Counts as a “Change”?

Anything that affects your dog’s grooming needs or safety should be shared ahead of time, including:

  • New medical conditions
  • Allergies or sensitivities
  • Behavioral changes
  • Mobility issues
  • Skin concerns or new lumps
  • Recent surgeries or injuries
  • Changes in coat condition (matting, shedding, etc.)
  • Updates to vaccination records
  • Any special handling needs

Even small changes can require adjustments in timing, products, or the overall grooming approach.

❤️ Why 48 Hours Matters

As a solo groomer, I plan each day down to the minute. When I know about changes ahead of time, I can:

  • Prepare the right tools and products
  • Adjust the schedule if needed
  • Allow extra time for special care
  • Ensure your dog’s safety and comfort
  • Prevent delays for other clients
  • Avoid last‑minute cancellations or rescheduling

This window helps keep the entire day running smoothly — for your dog, for me, and for every family on the schedule.

🐶 Safety First, Always

Grooming is hands‑on and intimate. If your dog has a new medical issue, allergy, or behavioral change, I need to know before I arrive so I can make the safest decisions for them.

Sharing updates early helps prevent:

  • Stress
  • Injury
  • Allergic reactions
  • Overexertion
  • Anxiety or fear
  • Unexpected complications

Your communication directly protects your pup.
