At Groucho Barks, your pet's comfort and well-being is very important. To this end, I will never knowingly cause harm to any pet for any reason, especially vanity. Brushing (de-matting) can be painful to a neglected coat, therefore if I deem the coat to be in too terrible shape to safely, painlessly comb-out, the pet owner will be given the option to have me 1) clip out the mats, 2) strip the coat with as short a blade as deemed necessary, 3) not receive grooming with Groucho Barks until the matting is a non-issue.

I recommend that most pets receive competent professional grooming services every 4-12 weeks, depending on the breed of the pet and the maintenance requirements of their coat. When grooming your pet, health issues may be uncovered/discovered that were previously unknown to the pet parent or have been left untreated by the pet owner. While Groucho Barks will inform you of any findings during the grooming appointment, I am not responsible for any vet bills that result from these findings. Also, during the grooming of pets with extremely neglected coats, it is impossible to foresee moles, warts, and other health concerns unless I have been forewarned. By initialing below, the client and Barbara Buglioli agree that they have discussed a professional maintenance program for grooming and the risks associated with poor coat care.
