If this is your first visit to Foxies, you may have a few questions regarding your dogs grooming

session. We have listed below the procedure of the session and hopefully answer some of your

questions.

On arrival, we will complete a grooming record card for your dog. We require your contact details,

the dogs name, age, sex, and vet’s name, also if your dog has any health problems we should be

aware of, and then record you’re grooming instructions for the grooming checklist. We will also

need to know if your bitch has been spayed. If not, the date of her last season, as this has an effect

on the condition of her coat. Please notify us if your bitch will be in season around her appointment

as we will have to make sure no entire dogs are in the salon at the same time.

your pet for AT LEAST that long. There are several variables that affect the amount of time your pet

will be our guest, such as the condition, length and texture of your pet’s coat, the size and

behaviour of your pet, hand striping of wire coats will take longer. We do our best to schedule the

appointments by staggering the IN times so that we can begin working on your pet immediately. As

a result of those staggered IN times, the amount of time your pet is here is reduced. We will call you

as soon as your pet is ready, or almost ready, or give you a time on arrival, so he/she won’t have to

be here any longer than necessary. HOWEVER, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE A SET AMOUNT OF TIME,

ALL TIME QUOTES ARE ESTIMATES. We like to take time to do a beautiful job and your pet will

remain more relaxed if he/she does not sense the groomers is in a rush, so please allow us the time

we need to do the job right.

at this stage – if your dogs coat is badly matted a full clip off will be given at this stage.

shampoos used are soap free and hypoallergenic, especially formulated for adult dogs and puppies.

The type of shampoo is normally dependent on the coat and skin evaluation results. We are able to

use any prescription shampoo your vet has prescribed. Foxies sell the shampoo that we have

selected to use on your pet in the salon, (some clients like to shampoo their dog at home between

grooming visits). A high velocity dryer will be used to massage the skin and remove excess water

from the coat. Your pet’s anal glands will be checked only if requested, but if your dog is a large

breed, we would recommend a vet’s visit as this may have to be carried out internally.

the high velocity dryer. The finish clip or styling will then be given at this stage.
