Health & safety
A few essentials that keep every pup safe and happy.

- 2
Updated proof to be submitted each time your pup is inoculated per the vaccine card schedule.

All pups must wear a collar with a name tag.
- 6
Only the owner may collect their puppy, unless otherwise arranged in writing.

Owners must be honest about their pup's behaviour — including excessive barking, jumping, aggression, or any history of biting or attacking. Aggressive pups may be refused, banned, or expelled with immediate effect.
Payments
- Payment is due in advance by the last working day of every month. EFT is preferred (banking details on your monthly invoice).

Cancellations
- A 50% fee applies to cancellations within 7 days.

Holidays & absent days
- We are closed on all public holidays, and between Christmas and New Year — exact dates are communicated closer to the time.
- We don't pass credit for absent days, but we will arrange catch-up days or hours where possible.
- Should the school close for reasons beyond our control, a catch-up day will be arranged with you. For pups attending 5 days a week, an alternative option will be discussed with you.
The important fine print
Written plainly so there are no surprises.
By enrolling your pup, you accept that Pawfect Puppy Preschool, its staff and volunteers will not be held liable for any loss, injury, illness, or damage sustained during participation or services provided at the facility.
Owners are fully responsible for their puppy's behaviour, health, and any damages caused to others. You accept and assume all risks associated with your pup's attendance.
You confirm that Pawfect Puppy Preschool has relied upon your representations in admitting your puppy, and declare that your puppy is in good health and has not displayed aggression, threatening behaviour, or caused injury to any person or dog.
While all reasonable care and precautions are taken, Pawfect Puppy Preschool will not be held responsible — financially or otherwise — for any illness, escape, injury, loss or damage to your puppy, yourself, or your property (including leashes, toys, bedding, etc.) during participation in any services.
Any behavioural, medical or other issues that arise will be managed at the discretion of Pawfect Puppy Preschool staff, in what they determine to be in the best interest of the puppy.
You agree to waive any and all claims you may have against Pawfect Puppy Preschool, its staff, members, employees and volunteers arising from your puppy's participation in daycare and related activities.
