FAQ
- Should a groomer name the pet in a reply?
- Yes, if the reviewer named the pet. It reads as personal and de-anonymises the reply for future readers.
- What if the pet's behaviour caused a bad cut?
- Own the outcome, mention that some pets need a calmer, shorter first session, offer a rebook. Never blame the pet in public.
