Pre-Groom Health, Vaccination & Behaviour Check Form

Grooming is close, hands-on work, and a quick check before it starts keeps the dog, the groomer and the salon safe. This form confirms the essentials — vaccinations current, flea and worm treatment done, any health issues flagged, and how the dog copes with being handled. It covers the things a groomer genuinely needs to know: whether the booster is up to date (including kennel cough if the salon requires it), recent surgery or skin problems, lumps or sore spots to avoid, and an honest read on handling — happy, wriggly, needs a muzzle, or has bitten before. A short tolerance matrix maps how the dog feels about nails, ears, face and the dryer. Run it before each visit, or once per new client and update as needed. Free, brandable, and it turns “should be fine” into a clear, safe plan for the table.
