Dear Valued
Barkery Customers,
In this
period of uncertainty regarding the COVID-19 virus, we wanted to let you know
that there is nothing more important than the health and well-being of our customers,
staff members, and of course your beloved pets. The Barkery has always been
vigilant in our commitment to providing a healthy and safe environment for our
customers, staff and the pets that frequent The Barkery. In addition to our already stringent cleaning
processes, we have added additional safety measures to ensure the overall well
being of our staff and customers.
We are still
open for business and we appreciate your support in shopping local with us in
these challenging times. We are fully
stocked on dog food, with 2 additional deliveries scheduled for this week. Additionally, we have plenty of chews and
toys in stock for your pups. Lastly,
because we make all of our treats in house, you can be assured that not only do
we have plenty in stock and will not run out but also that they are totally
safe.
Entering
The Barkery
Please limit
the number of guests in your party to 2 people.
Upon
entering The Barkery, please use the hand sanitizer provided and then please
put on a pair of vinyl gloves that we have provided.
Once inside,
please maintain a respectful distance from other customers at all times.
We will be restricting
the number of people in the store to a maximum of 10 people at all times (not
including our staff). If we have our max
capacity when you arrive, we will ask you to remain outside until another
customer leaves to allow you to enter.
Upon leaving
The Barkery, please dispose of your vinyl gloves in the trash can provided
outside of the door.
GROOMING
Upon your arriving
into The Barkery, we will notify your groomer that you are here. When she comes out to retrieve your pet, she
will bring a slip lead out with her.
Once she secures your pet with the slip lead, please remove of your pet’s
personal belongings (collars, leashes, harnesses, sweaters, coats, etc.) and
take them with you. Upon pick up, we
will reverse this procedure. Customers will not be allowed inside of the
grooming rooms.
If you have a grooming appointment scheduled
for your pet, and you are not feeling well and would like to cancel the
appointment, please provide us the courtesy of calling no less than 24 hours in
advance.
If you are
not feeling well but would like to keep your grooming appointment, we ask that
you kindly write your grooming instructions on a piece of paper, and when you
arrive, that you stay in your vehicle and call us at (978) 858-3644 and a staff
member will come out to retrieve your pet.
Upon completion of the groom we will call you and at this time you can
make payment over the phone and we will bring your pet, as well as any items
you may have purchased out to your vehicle for you.
Self-Wash
We are limiting
washes to 2 tubs at a time. This may
increase your wait time but it is for the safety of our customers.
Walk-In
Nail Trims:
All nail
trims will now only be done inside of our grooming rooms, no nail trims will be
performed at the tubs. Customers will not be allowed inside of the grooming
rooms.
