Policies
-
Appointments are on pre-scheduled basis. Wright Mobile Grooming will arrive within an assigned appointment window. Should a situation occur such as traffic, road construction, or prior appointments running long, the groomer will notify the next client of the expected ETA. We value the safety of your pets and will not rush grooming in order to meet appointment schedules.
We cannot guarantee specific days and times. Grooming rotations are based on location and there are limited options on when we are in a specific area. Once a spot is filled on a daily rotation you are guaranteed a future appointment on a re-occurring basis.
Same day service is not provided. Appointments must be booked in advance.
-
Wright Mobile Grooming requires clients provide 48 hours notice in the event of cancellation. Should you be unable to meet your scheduled appointment date you will be required to give up your place in the rotation and be placed on the waiting list until such time a spot becomes available. We do also offer the option to pay a holding fee to keep your place on the rotation.
Failure to provide sufficient notice will result in a cancellation fee that must be paid prior the next service. No-show appointments and late cancellations cause a gap in the schedule. This means a badly needed groom for another pet on the wait-list could have been filled for that time.
No-show appointments (you are not home) or changing your mind at the time of the appointment will result in a cancellation fee up to the full cost of service.
If we have to cancel or reschedule for any reason you will be notified and we will make every effort to reschedule as soon as possible. Possible reasons may include illness, emergency, mechanical breakdown, or weather related conditions. Generally if the school bus isn’t running, neither are we. Unfortunately some things are out of our control. We appreciate your patience in these situations.
-
It is the responsibility of the client to disclose any health (including vaccines) or behavior issues. We are not responsible for any pre-existing conditions. Aggressive animals does not necessarily mean refusal of service. We have muzzles that may be used, but have often found many difficult dogs behave well in the van unlike at a traditional grooming salon.
We will do the best we can for aggressive or misbehaved animals during the groom but can not guarantee full service. The groomer has the right to stop services if it appears the animal is a danger to itself or the groomer. Best care will be taken and the client will be notified should the animal be nicked or cut during grooming.
Health issues must be disclosed to the groomer for the animal’s safety. This includes but is not limited to any prior injuries, allergies, medications, hip or joint issues, or illnesses and infections.
Senior pets are 100% acceptable. We will do our best to make sure your pet is comfortable during the groom. We stress the comfort of the animal over the perfection of the groom. Senior pets may have trouble standing or other needs that impact the groom. It's more important to us that they are happy and comfortable than looking 100% perfect.
A full service groom may not be guaranteed if an animal is uncooperative or has trouble standing.
We take great care to make sure your pet has a stress-free experience and these policies are in place to achieve that goal. If the animal is becoming irritated, over-stressed, or otherwise physically unable to continue, services will be stopped for the safety of the pet and groomer.

At Wright Mobile Grooming, we understand that matting can be a common issue for some dogs. We have a policy in place to ensure the well-being and comfort of your pet when dealing with matted fur.
Assessment: During the initial consultation or when our groomer arrives, we will assess the condition of your dog's coat, specifically checking for mats or tangles. This assessment helps us determine the best approach for grooming your pet safely and effectively.
Professional Advice: If your dog's coat is severely matted, we will provide you with professional advice on the best course of action. In some cases, it may be necessary to shave or trim the matted areas to alleviate discomfort and prevent further matting or skin issues.
Pet Comfort: Our groomers prioritize your pet's comfort and well-being throughout the grooming process. If mat removal is required, we will handle it with care, using gentle techniques and specialized tools to minimize any discomfort or stress for your pet.
Open Communication: We believe in open communication and will discuss the condition of your dog's coat, the recommended grooming approach, and any potential challenges or considerations with you. We value your input and ensure that decisions regarding your pet's grooming are made collaboratively.
Preventative Measures: To prevent future matting, we may provide guidance on regular brushing and maintenance techniques that are appropriate for your dog's coat type. Regular grooming and proper coat care at home can help prevent mats from forming and maintain your pet's coat in optimal condition.
Please note that our priority is your pet's well-being, and in cases of severe matting, our groomers may recommend shaving or trimming to alleviate discomfort and prevent skin issues. Our goal is to ensure a positive grooming experience for your furry friend while prioritizing their comfort and safety.

At Wright Mobile Grooming, we prioritize the health and well-being of all pets we serve. To maintain a clean and flea-free environment, we have a strict flea policy in place.
Flea Screening: Before each grooming session, we conduct a thorough visual inspection of your pet's coat to check for any signs of fleas or ticks. If we detect fleas or ticks, we will notify you immediately and discuss the necessary steps for treatment.
Flea Infestation Protocol: If we encounter a severe flea infestation during the grooming session, we will suspend the grooming process to avoid the risk of spreading fleas to other pets or our equipment. We will work with you to develop a plan for flea treatment and reschedule the grooming session once the infestation is resolved.
Preventive Measures: We strongly recommend that all pets are on a regular flea prevention program. This helps prevent flea infestations and ensures the well-being of your pet. If your pet is not on a flea prevention program, we may advise you to consult with a veterinarian to establish an appropriate prevention regimen.
Clean and Sanitized Equipment: We follow strict cleaning and sanitization procedures for our grooming equipment and mobile salon after each appointment. This helps maintain a hygienic environment and minimizes the risk of cross-contamination.
Please note that our flea policy is in place to protect the health of all pets we serve. By adhering to this policy, we can maintain a safe and flea-free environment for both your pet and other animals we groom.
