Dog Grooming Style & Coat Preferences Confirmation Form

A grooming style template — length, face, feet and finish confirmed per area, so the dog leaves looking exactly as the owner pictured.

Description

“Just a tidy” means ten different things. This form pins the style down before the clippers start: how short overall, how the face and ears are shaped, what to do with the tail and feet, and the little preferences that make an owner either delighted or deflated at pick-up. It breaks the dog down by area — body, legs, face, ears, tail, feet — and lets the owner set a length or finish for each, plus products to use or avoid and anything to steer clear of entirely. A quick matrix captures it at a glance, so the groomer works to a clear brief, not a guess. Use it for new clients or anyone changing their dog’s look, and keep it on file as the house style for next time. Free, brandable, and the simplest way to make sure “like last time” actually means last time.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Dog Grooming Style & Coat Preferences Confirmation Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

Why confirm a grooming style in advance?

Because words like “short” or “a tidy” mean different things to everyone. Agreeing the length and finish for each part of the dog before grooming starts means the result matches what the owner pictured — not a surprise at pick-up.

What does the style form cover?

Overall length, how the face and ears are shaped, the tail and feet, the finish, any products to use or avoid, and anything to steer clear of. It’s broken down by area so nothing gets missed.

What are clipper guard numbers?

Clipper guards set the coat length — a lower number leaves it shorter. The form lets owners pick a guard or just describe the length they want, and the groomer matches it.

Can I keep the same style every time?

Yes — that’s the idea. Once a style is confirmed, it’s saved as the dog’s house style, so “same as last time” is a precise instruction rather than a hopeful one.

What if I'm not sure what suits my dog?

Leave it open and add a note — groomers are happy to advise on what works for the breed and coat. The form is there to capture preferences, not to force a decision.

Is this style form free?

Yes — free with a Fun Forms account, fully customisable, and it can be filled in before the appointment or at drop-off.
