We Are Expanding to Better Meet Your Needs!
Dear Rub-a-Dub-Dog Client,

Thanks to you and all the wonderful referrals that you have sent to us, our business has grown significantly over the last year.  It is incredibly rewarding to see that our unique approach to grooming has been so well received by our community!   
 
Many of you may have found it more difficult to get a grooming appointment for your dog lately.  While we welcome the increased business, we do not want to inconvenience those of you who have sustained us from the early days.  As a result, we have embarked upon an expansion plan to better address your dog's grooming needs in a timely manner. Thank you for your patience while we work through our "growing pains"! 
 
Over the last few weeks, we have doubled our grooming staff - and thus our capacity.  This will enable us to have twice as many appointments available each day that we are open so that your dog can get in for an appointment quicker, and you can keep sending your friends to us. Since we are currently using our existing space to accomplish this expansion, we will need to make a few adjustments in our services and policies to make sure we are able to operate smoothly.
Changes to Rub-a-Dub-Dog Services and Policies 
  • Effective immediately, we will no longer have "Do-it-Yourself" Bathing available.  We will strive to bring it back in the future as our available space changes. 
  • Each groomer will have a separate work area and dogs will not be together unattended.  Nevertheless, since we may have two unfamiliar dogs here at the same time, we want to emphasize the importance of making sure you keep your dog up to date on vaccinations, and that they are on both flea and heartworm prevention medication.  We will begin requiring vaccination records for all customers effective immediately. Existing customers can have their veterinarian fax a copy of this information to us at 205-870-8085, or bring a copy to your dog's next appointment. 
  • Two dogs in the same family are still welcome to come together but we will need to schedule them simultaneously with two different groomers.  The other option is that you can bring them one at a time if you prefer a particular groomer. We will no longer offer multi-dog discounts for those bringing 3 or more dogs at one time due to the coordination involved with multiples.  
  • Even though the dogs will be separated, for those dogs that are aggressive or highly agitated with other dogs around, it may present a problem.  Please notify us if this could be an issue with your dog and we will strive to accommodate your needs.  
  • To make our increased capacity work, it is essential that you drop off and pick up your dogs in a timely fashion.  As of March 1st, we will begin enforcing the late pick up fees for those who are more than 15 minutes late picking up their dogs.  This fee is $5 for every minute over the 15 minute grace period. 
  • We will continue to do whatever we can to help remind you of your dog's grooming appointment.  This includes offering to send a reminder card out via mail, and phoning you a day or two before to confirm.  In exchange, we ask that you abide by our 24 cancellation policy.  Please review our complete list of policies for specific details.    

Due to costs involved with increased personnel and capacity, we have instituted a slight price increase effective immediately.  Even with the increase, we are confident that our prices are still comparable to other groomers in our area, especially when you consider our unique approach that puts your dog's comfort first. You may review our revised menu of services for complete details.  We also encourage you to check out our newly added FAQs (Frequent Asked Questions) section of our web site.  You may find answers to questions you didn't even know you had!

We work very hard to make sure that your dogs are treated like members of the family when they are at the Rub-a-Dub Dog Bathouse & Spa.  But don't take it from us, take a look at the testimonials from our other clients.  If there is anything else we can do to improve upon your experience - or if you would like to share your story with us to be used as a testimonial - please do not hesitate to let us know.  We appreciate your business and look forward to seeing you and your dogs during the next visit to the spa - and at Generation Dog: Where Dogs Are Family! 
Warmest Regards,
