content: "GROOMING RELEASE\n\nPet Liability: The person who presents the pet shall
  be deemed the authorizing agent for all grooming instructions and procedures for
  the pet, and shall be referred to as owner/guardian. Owner/guardian agrees to pet
  liability conditions.\n\nCurrent Vaccinations Information: By signing this consent
  form, owner/guardian confirms that their pet is current on Rabies vaccination. Proof
  of vaccination must be provided to prior to grooming. \n\nAggressive Pets: By signing
  this consent form, owner/guardian agrees to inform staff of potential aggressive
  behavior towards people or animals that their pet may display. In the event that
  a pet is aggressive, a muzzle may be used. Muzzles are not harmful to pets, but
  keep groomers and your pet safe. We reserve the right to refuse or stop services
  for aggressive pets at any time before or during the grooming procedure. \n\nAccidental
  Injury: Although groomers use extreme caution and care in all situations, grooming
  equipment is sharp and there is always potential for accidents, including cuts,
  nicks, scrapes, and quicking of nails. By signing this consent form, I confirm that
  I understand the risk of accidental injury to my pet.\n\nHealth & Medical Problems:
  Grooming procedures can occasionally be stressful, especially for senior or ill
  pets, and can expose unknown or magnify diagnosed medical problems. Because these
  pets are at greater risk for injury, they will be groomed in accordance to their
  comfort. We will do their best to contact pet owner/guardian if medical treatment
  is deemed necessary. In the best interest of my pet, I give Sparkle Dog Grooming
  consent to administer immediate veterinary treatment as deemed necessary. \n\nSedation:
  Sparkle Dog Grooming does not groom sedated pets.  I understand and confirm that
  my pet has not been sedated before the groom. \n\nMat Removal/ Matted Pets: Pets
  with matted coats require additional care and attention, as mats can be difficult
  to remove. The groomer will attempt to brush out mats, but severe matting may require
  the pet be shaved. Intense matting or brushing can cause dermatitis, irritation,
  and brush-burn, along with nicks or cuts. Owner/guardian consents to mat removal
  procedures, and acknowledges risk to pet. \n\nGroom Satisfaction: If grooming is
  deemed unsatisfactory by owner/guardian, Sparkle Dog Grooming requests that issues
  or concerns brought to our attention at the time of pick-up. If concern is not raised
  before the pet leaves, our staff cannot adequately assess or address any issues.
  Owner/guardian agrees to notify Caring staff of unsatisfactory groom at time of
  pick-up."
