Template FAQs
Common questions about the Grooming Incident & Injury Report Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.
Why keep an incident report for grooming?
Because a clear, contemporaneous record protects everyone if a question or claim arises later. It shows what happened, what was done and who was informed — far more reliable than memory or a scribbled note.
What should a grooming incident report include?
The date and time, the dog and groomer involved, what happened and where on the body, the injury type, first aid given, any vet involvement, whether the owner was notified, and a witness and signature.
When should it be completed?
As soon as possible after the incident, while details are fresh and accurate. Prompt recording is what makes the report trustworthy.
Do minor incidents need recording too?
Yes — a small nick or a stressed dog is worth logging. Patterns only show up if the small things are recorded, and a complete record is what protects the business.
Should the owner always be told?
Any injury or notable incident should be communicated to the owner. The form records whether and how they were notified, so there’s no ambiguity later.
Is the incident form free?
Yes — free with a Fun Forms account, fully customisable to your salon’s process, and ready to use on any device.
