Why is the Cancellation Policy Important for Clients & Staff of Great Woof Lodge?

At Great Woof Lodge it is very important that we take great care of our clients and also ourselves. The cancellation policies ensure fairness to all involved.

We absolutely hate to turn away any of our excellent clients because we are fully booked, but from time to time this does occur. The cancellation polices helps to keep space available in our schedule for those who really need it, because we are only booking services with those that are certain they need us and know that cancellation policies apply should they need to cancel. We would hate to turn away a client because we are full, only to have someone cancel on short notice whose space we could of given to someone who really needed it.  This occurs often around holidays & school vacation weeks, our schedule fills up, then many clients wait until the last moment to cancel, which makes it impossible for us to service the clients we had turned away. 

In addition to this, we set aside time in our busy schedules to service our clients. We believe that we deserve to be paid when our work is cancelled on short notice. Imagine a job where the work you depended on could be cancelled at any moment with no pay. The cancellation of one or two visits does not seem like a big deal but just imagine several clients all cancelling a few visits during the same week.

Our cancellation polices are put in place so that Great Woof Lodge can serve our pets & clients in the most efficient & effective manner possible.
