Bookings & Cancellations

Thank you for choosing Upper Hound Dog Groomers for your furry friend’s grooming needs. We strive to provide top-notch service and ensure a seamless experience for both you and your pet. Below you will find important information about our booking and cancellation policies, as well as our unique ‘Cancellation Watch’ feature.

1. Making a Booking:

• Online: You can make a booking through our website by selecting a suitable date and time from the available slots.
• Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll receive a confirmation email with the details of your appointment.
• We recommend booking at least a week in advance during busy seasons to ensure your desired slot.

2. Cancellations:

• Time Frame: If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please inform us at least 48 hours in advance.
• Late Cancellations: Appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice will incur a fee of 50% of the grooming service charge. We have this policy to ensure that we can accommodate other pets in need of grooming.
• No-shows: If you miss your appointment without notifying us, a 100% service charge will apply. We request your understanding as no-shows impact our business and the services we provide to other pets.
• Rescheduling: You can reschedule your appointment using the link in your confirmation email or by contacting our customer service.

3. Cancellation Watch:

For those times when you hope to get an earlier appointment or a specific date and time, we introduce our ‘Cancellation Watch’ feature. Here’s how it works:

• Sign Up: Let our team know that you’d like to be added to the Cancellation Watch list for a specific date or time range.
• Notification: If another client cancels or reschedules their appointment within your specified range, we will notify you immediately about the newly available slot.
• First Come, First Served:** These slots are offered on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. So, the quicker you respond to our notification, the better your chances of securing the slot.
• No Obligation: Being on the Cancellation Watch list doesn’t obligate you to take any slot that becomes available. It’s just a way to increase the chances of getting your preferred slot.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in following these guidelines. This ensures we can serve all our four-legged customers efficiently and provide them with the pampering they deserve.

If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help! And remember, at Upper Hound, we treat every pet like the top dog they are!
