All pets being groomed must be current on DHLPP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccination. Cat vaccinations are Feline Distemper and Rabies. Proof of current vaccinations must be on Veterinary letterhead
and required prior to any groom. If your pet does not have Rabies vaccination, the Groomer will not groom your pet. This policy is to ensure the health and safety of both pet and Groomer, as well as required by PA State Law. You will be asked to disclose all issues that your pet may have or has had in the past when going to the Vet or being groomed (i.e. aggressive tendencies, likes/dislikes, and any health conditions). This policy is to
ensure the health and safety of both pet and Groomer. You will be informed upon pick up if your pet had any issues or problems with any part of the grooming process. Disclosing that a pet may have aggressive tendencies does not automatically result in a refusal to groom. This allows the groomer to be mindful of the pet’s behavior while being groomed so the groomer can avoid being bitten and can avoid injury to the pet if the pet were to move suddenly during the grooming session. Payments and AppointmentsPayment is due at time of service. We accept cash, check, or credit card. Returned checks will be subject to a $25.00 fee in addition to the grooming charge for which the check was intended. Matted PetsOur Groomer will provide a maximum of 10 minutes of de-matting time, IF THE PET IS HIGHLY TOLERANT TO IT. Additional charges will apply or be recommended if more time is needed. We will do our best to call you to inform you of any special de-matting needs prior to the service. Please keep in mind de-matting a pet is very painful and can ruin the coat. The safest alternative is to strip the pet and start the coat over. Our Groomer will be happy to demonstrate some effective brushing techniques for mat prevention. Brushes and combs will be available for purchase. Oscar’s Pet Resort is not responsible for any condition uncovered by the Groomer due to extreme matting issues or injuries to the skin. A veterinarian consultation will be recommended to deal with any condition at the Owner’s expense. Our Groomer does not diagnose medical conditions nor prescribe medications. Refusal of ServicesOscar’s Pet Resort reserves the right to refuse service to overly aggressive pets, severely matted pets, or pets with health issues that may require a visit to the veterinarian. Any issues (health or behavior) not disclosed to the Groomer by the Owner or unknown by the Owner, may result in the immediate termination of the grooming session at the Owner’s expense. We request you cancel your pet’s appointment within 24 hour notice to our office at (717) 397-0726. No Show or failure to cancel within 24 hours may result in a $20.00 fee. Yes, absolutely. Your dog should be on flea control, whether they go to the groomer or not. We do see fleas outside for nine months out of the year in this area. Fleas will live inside the other three months out of the year, meaning January, February, and March. Typically from April all the way to December, we do see fleas. You don't want your dogs to have fleas in the first place, and the groomer sure as heck doesn't want you bringing a flea-infested dog into their facility. Even though they would be able to bathe your dog, they may or may not have flea products. That's not what they're there for. The good news is we've got great flea products. We can take care of that problem. With vaccinations, there are a couple of considerations. Rabies, of course, is required by law. That's a given, and I promise you, every groomer will want to ensure that your dog is vaccinated for rabies. Why is that? Quite simply because people can get rabies as well. This is not just a dog or a cat problem. This is potentially a people problem as well. That's why it's mandated that every dog and cat be vaccinated for rabies. Horses too. They're vaccinated for rabies as well, for those of you who have horses. For the other vaccines, we recommend distemper parvo for every dog and cat because it does not require contact with another dog to get the distemper and parvo. Lastly, the other one we strongly recommend is the Bordetella vaccine. Most groomers won't require a distemper parvo or the Bordetella because there's no human contagion with those. However, there is a high risk of transmission from one dog to another dog, even if they're not in direct contact with one another. If your kid is a kindergartner and two or three kids are coughing and sneezing, you probably don't want to take them to school that day because they're going to come down with something. The same thing goes for if somebody unknowingly takes their dog to a groomer and they might have an upper respiratory infection or kennel cough of some sort. They can easily spread it to the other dogs in the facility, even if they're not in direct contact. So, by all means, I highly recommend the distemper parvo as well as the Bordetella vaccine. And, of course, the rabies vaccine is required by law.

How old should a puppy be to get groomed?We recommend starting at 12-weeks of age. The very first grooming appointment is an introduction to the puppy and the owner to the world of grooming. The puppy with be introduced to a bath, blow drying, nail clipping, and slight trimming.
Do they sedate dogs for grooming?Gabapentin is a medication that can be used for several purposes, including seizure control, anxiety relief, sedation, and pain management. It's a common dog sedative for grooming, travel, vet visits, and other short-term events. Gabapentin is generally considered safe in healthy pets, with minimal side effects.
