during their spaw day.

If someone different picks up your pet and the haircut isn't what you expected then Pooches N' Pals is not held liable, We will be able to fix the groom however extra charges will apply.Please make sure that the person that has given instructions for the haircut is the person dropping off and picking up the pooch!
