SUMMARY:Bunny Grooming
DESCRIPTION:Attention all bunny parents! Animal Friends will be offering appointments for grooming services for your long-eared loved ones.

As always\, 100% of the proceeds benefit our animal residents. What are you waiting for? Your rabbit deserves some pampering! There are three spots available for each time slot. \nIMPORTANT PLEASE READ:   \n\nYour rabbit must arrive to his/her appointment in a carrier for safety reasons and to give your bun a secure feeling while in transport.\nAll grooming clients must be fully vaccinated to be eligible for a grooming session.\nRabbits must have an initial RHD (Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease) vaccine and a booster at/or around 21 days after the initial vaccine.\nRabbits will not be considered FULLY vaccinated against RHD until 72-hours after the second dose has been given.\nPlease email your rabbit’s RHD vaccination record to AFU@ThinkingOutsideTheCage.org ahead of your appointment\, please. If you are unable to do so\, please bring your proof of vaccinations with you to the appt.\nVaccines are valid for 1 year and must be boosted annually unless otherwise indicated by a veterinarian\nLong-haired\, giant rabbit breeds and those with a mane require two\, back-to-back appointments.\nAny questions?  Please contact AFU@ThinkingOutsideTheCage.org\n\nRabbit Grooming Release and Waiver of Liability
