Pet Grooming Check-In & Matted Coat Liability Release Form (Free Printable Template)
Most customer complaints in pet grooming salons occur when severe pelted matting hides underlying skin redness, fungal ringworm, or flea dermatitis that only becomes visible after shaving. A 60-second pre-grooming inspection with 1-click WhatsApp owner consent eliminates post-grooming disputes.

1. The 5-Point Hands-On Pre-Grooming Inspection Before the Owner Leaves
Never accept a cat or dog into the bathing area without running a comb and your fingers through the coat in front of the pet parent. Tightly pelted mats pull on delicate skin, restrict blood flow, and frequently conceal hot spots, fungal lesions, or hematomas.
When groomers shave a severely matted coat (lion cut or sanitary clip), pre-existing skin irritation is exposed. Documenting these findings before the bath turns a potential dispute into a trusted professional consultation.
- •Fleas & Ticks Check: Part the hair over the rump, neck, and belly to check for live parasites or flea dirt.
- •Fungal / Ringworm Lesions: Inspect ears, paws, and facial folds for circular alopecia, scaling, or crusting.
- •Severe Matting / Pelting Consent: Explain that de-matting causes pain and that a close clip may reveal underlying skin redness.
- •Ear Mites & Pre-Existing Wounds: Check ear canals for dark exudate/odor and note any scabs, warts, or aggressive temperament triggers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why do grooming salons need a specific release form for matted coats?▼
Heavy matting traps moisture and pulls tightly against the skin, often causing bruising, sores, or ear hematomas after removal. A matted coat release informs the owner of these realities before clippers touch the pet.
Can I print a paper Grooming Intake & Consent Form on A4 paper?▼
Yes! Open /partners in AnabulOS and select Template 2 (Grooming Physical Check & Consent Form) to print a ready-to-sign A4 intake sheet.
Does AnabulOS attach the physical check findings to the customer receipt?▼
Yes. All checked physical inspection items are automatically recorded in the order notes, shown to groomers on the queue board, and printed on the receipt.
